As part of our efforts to support library workers during these difficult times, the ALA JobLIST Placement and Career Development Center will host a free webinar entitled, How to Thrive in Uncertain Times on Sunday, January 24, 2021, 12:15 – 1:15pm (Central). Register now, as space is limited.
Yes, we are in the middle of really challenging times. But that does not mean you have to step back, feel helpless, or exhaust yourself with anxiety. You can move forward with purpose, no matter what is going on around you. How? By choosing to take on a mindset and a series of actions that make a difference. You can handle uncertainty by remembering what is important to you, uncovering your best self, and committing to moving toward a future that offers possibilities. Join us for ideas in a lively, interactive session on how you can begin to shape a positive future for yourself.
