Changing your career, whether through choice or redundancy, can be daunting. You can feel inspired and confused at the same time.

But where do you start? And what do you need to consider?

"The average millennial, by the time they retire, will have probably changed their job at least 14 times."– Mel Barclay

In this podcast you'll learn more about:

- the risks involved
- why more people are making the leap
