We know that times are still difficult for some. And for others, they might become difficult this year looking at the increase in unemployment rates and the overall decrease in the number of job ads on LinkedIn. We also know that some want and / or need to be more careful with their budgets.

That’s why we’ve decided to offer many, many, many of our resources entirely, completely for free! Because at the end of the day – we are Angels for a reason! One of the examples from 2020: we’ve organized approx. 200 sessions with our network of career coaches and consultants for professionals who felt overwhelmed with the pandemic – especially at the beginning.

Here are the links – feel free to share them!

If you are an active job hunter on a budget, watch the playlist called “Online Webinars – Job Search

How important is employer branding to you? Supporting your (future) former employees when they need it the most is the best way to show your employees and future candidates that you do care.
