Summer brings longer days, holidays and time to relax. However, if you're looking for a job, considering a career change or aiming to advance in your career, this free time is a great opportunity to achieve your goals. So, how can you make the most of it?

 

 

1. Training and courses

 

Now is the perfect time to explore new interests and strengthen your skills. Finally take that course you’ve been meaning to do, attend a talk, improve your language skills, and boost your digital and soft skills, which are highly valued in all professional fields.
