Managing your career via Job Mobility : Boost your career

 

Adopt a “portfolio career” approach, where you pursue multiple jobs or projects simultaneously, rather than relying on a single full-time job. This provides a greater flexibility, variety, and independence in your work, as well as expand your skillset and network.

To start building a portfolio career, you can:

  1. Identify your core skills and interests: identify the skills and interests you want to focus on, and how you can apply them to different roles or projects.
  2. Explore part-time, freelance, or project-based work: Explore job opportunities that offer more flexibility and autonomy, such as part-time, freelance, or project-based work. This can allow you to gain experience in new industries or roles, while still maintaining a steady income.
  3. Build a strong online presence: Build a strong online presence, such as a personal website or LinkedIn profile, to showcase your skills, experience, and portfolio of work. This will help you attract new clients or opportunities, and build a reputation as a skilled professional.
  4. Leverage your network: Leverage your network to find new job opportunities or projects. You can reach out to your professional contacts, attend industry events, or join online communities to expand your network and learn about new opportunities.
