We spend so much time obsessing over our super, property and portfolios, but we often ignore our most valuable asset: our ability to earn. Think of your career not just as a job, but as an asset that requires constant reinvestment. Too many people with big, successful careers are getting caught off guard by restructures or market shifts, sometimes finding themselves unemployed and underprepared for a digital-first job market. So, how do you bulletproof your employability?
In this episode, I chat to Jannine Fraser, who works right at the coalface, helping people navigate career transitions when things go wrong - and how to prepare yourself in case they do. She's the managing director of outplacement firm Directioneering, so it's her job to help people pick up the pieces and re-shape their future.
We cover:
- Why midlife is a high risk time for career stagnation
- How to pivot before the market forces you to
- Practical steps to stay relevant, ready & employable
