Watch: Making a mindful midcareer move

For established global development professionals, deciding when and how to make the next career move can be daunting. Unlike your first job search, you will likely have differentiated yourself as a professional and have a better understanding of what you value. Employers may also be taking a longer look at your profile before making a hiring decision. In this online event, Devex’s resident career expert, Kate Warren, was joined by Daniel Head, founder and CEO of Head Global, to share insider tips on how to make a mindful midcareer transition and adapt to recent changes in the job market due to COVID-19. The ongoing shift to remote working could create opportunities for many professionals. “In the very short term, employers are going to have a difficult time deciding where somebody needs to be located,” according to Head, “but I think in the longer term more companies are going to be very open, not only to remote working but maybe international remote working.” Highlights from this discussion include: • Eight essential steps for a strategic and successful midcareer move. • Tips on how to gain a solid understanding of both yourself and the market, allowing you to find the right positions. • Advice for acing your interviews and addressing important questions during the process. • How to negotiate offers as a midcareer transitioner.
