How do you leverage your public sector experience to pivot into the private sector?

More than 216,000 government employees were laid off last month. If you or someone you love was impacted, today’s episode is for you. 

If you’re ready to shift into the private sector rather than dive back into public service, press play now. Trust me: the transition isn’t as daunting as it feels.

Launch your job search with confidence with today’s practical tips, including:

  • Why you’re not seeing your public sector skills in private sector job postings;
  • How to emphasize your transferable skills so they shine;
  • Why you shouldn’t gloss over your public sector past;
  • What to keep and what to pull for your private sector resume.
