General Assembly: Find Work That Matters
June 1, 2020 @ 7:45 pm - 9:30 pm
FreeAbout This Event
The wellbeing of our students, instructors, employees and community members is a top priority at General Assembly. In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, all workshops, boot camps, and events – including this one – will temporarily be held online.
During these uncertain times with COVID-19, many people are re-examining their career and their next move. The first step in ‘doing work that matters’ is identifying what ignites passion, purpose, and satisfaction for you. If you don’t have answers right away, you’re not alone. We often don’t have the time, tools, or guidance to find a clear answer. Finding work that really matters requires, well, work.
Refocus and take actionable steps towards a fulfilling career. In our exclusive, empowering session, we’ll walk you through strategic exercises designed to bring excitement and impact to your professional journey. Join our experts for this inspiring session and uncover the work that matters most to you.
