How To Make Your Career Fit Your Life
About the class
For many women, a large factor in the “stay or go” decision is whether an alternative work structure is even possible. This class -- part of the "Look Before You Leap" series -- will show you how to “Exhaust Your Flexible Work Options" so you can make your career fit your life (better!)
Too many women assume flexibility is not an option or leave after one casual “ask.” This class discussion will help you determine if your job is a candidate for full or partial telecommuting, and how to make a professional case for flexibility. Looking beyond your current job, you’ll also learn where to look for other, more flexible opportunities and if an entrepreneurial venture would fit your work and broader lifestyle.
