Whether you’re just starting out or well established, career growth can be challenging in recessionary times. Even top performers can feel stuck during downturns. With fewer openings and heavier workloads, many alumni ask: How do I keep moving forward when the market slows?

In this exclusive webinar for U of T alumni, LinkedIn’s former Head of Education Marketing shares insider strategies to thrive in a contracting economy. Learn how to tailor your approach to today’s job market.

By joining this webinar, you will have an opportunity to: 

  • Get noticed by recruiters—even in hiring slowdowns.
  • Showcase your impact when promotions feel out of reach.
  • Thrive under pressure with smarter time strategies.
  • Spot growth opportunities others might miss.
  • Understand when and how to take calculated risks
