The New Rules For Career Success

The world of work has pervasively changed; and many of the time-honored ways in which we've managed our careers no longer apply. What are the defining characteristics of today's dynamic work place? Which career management strategies no longer work - and which strategies and mindsets have taken their place? Join us on Thursday, September 26th, from 6-8 pm, at the Stamford Innovation Center, for discussion and insights with a panel of career and workplace experts; and learn the new rules of career success.
