10 Career Coaches Offer Advice for Navigating Today’s Evolving Workforce
More than 11 million women have lost their jobs and another 2.65 million have left the workforce. And with so many people—women and men—out of work and looking for new opportunities, getting back into the workforce is going to be challenging, to say the least. So women need the support of other women more than ever.
Global beauty brand No7 has a long history of empowering women, so they’re doing something about this never-before-seen #Shecession: On February 24th, along with Hello Sunshine and The Female Quotient, No7 hosted the first-ever, free virtual #UnstoppableTogether Job Summit, featuring speakers and experts like Padma Lakshmi, Kate Walsh, Tamron Hall, and Arianna Huffington. Their goal was to get women back into the workforce by providing them with inspiration, motivation, and the skills they need to put their best foot forward.
Another No7 is helping women be #UnstoppableTogether is by tapping top female career coaches from around the country for sessions addressing everything from interview tips to rewriting your personal story to avoiding the burnout we’re all feeling right now. Because we can only get more women back to work if we look out for each other. One of the coaches, Katie Fogarty, CEO of The Reboot Group, said: “Offer a helping hand to a woman behind you, once you get your foot back in the door.” If we all do that, think of how much more effective we’ll be at finding women jobs.
