Career Transition: From Corporate Recruiter to Independent Career Practitioner
|
|
|
The pandemic has forced many businesses to rethink their strategies. Whether it be moving to remote work, getting creative to handle supply chain issues or finding new ways to reach customers, innovation and adaptability are key for 2022.
“Adaptability, efficiency and responsiveness are the key themes that will permeate throughout 2022 and will be important for organizations to adopt if they want to stand out from their competitors and retain their competing edge,” Patrick Poulin, Group President at Randstad Canada, said in a press release.

There are many reasons why people transition from employee to entrepreneur or from one career to another. For me, it was a lifelong existential question; which role was meant for me? Which one would give me satisfaction and make me feel fulfilled? Pursuing a business degree was a decision my family made for me; there was no formal career exploration or assessment done at the time. In fact, the concept did not even exist! Questions about my likes and dislikes, my values, and what I was good at were never asked. Eventually, I made a major career transition, moving from corporate recruitment to independent career practitioner. This is my story.

have sought mental-health treatment during COVID-19: survey |
A new poll has found that a third of young Canadians have sought treatment for mental health issues during the pandemic.
The latest poll from Nanos Research, commissioned by CTV News, found that 33.3 per cent of respondents aged 18 to 34 sought help for their mental health during the pandemic, through either counselling or treatment. This is compared to 19.5 per cent of respondents aged 35 to 54 and 5.9 per cent of respondents aged 55 and older.
In total, 18 per cent of Canadians sought professional help during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investing in humanities, social sciences is key to post-pandemic recovery |
The pandemic may have shone the spotlight on all things science, but it will take more than scientific discoveries to ensure Canada emerges stronger post-COVID-19. In our rapidly changing world, government policymakers will need to recognize the important insights gained through humanities and social sciences research to drive COVID-19 recovery and secure a better future for Canadians.
Beyond the health crisis, the pandemic brought to the forefront a complex range of socio-economic issues – from racism and inequality to the rise of populism, poverty, and human migration – and Canada must have the right skills and knowledge to successfully address them. The critical role the humanities and social sciences play in this process must not be underestimated.
