Today I had a super exciting meeting with Andre who I met here on Polywork and we talked about career jumpers.
While he mentors career jumpers in IT/Tech and tries to match them up with suitable companies I am more of a career jumper myself and work in a creative and unconventional business consultancy.
We've talked about the importance of having a diverse staff - not just in classical terms but also in terms of different professional backgrounds and how this fosters innovation, change and secures companies' future. We also agreed that most companies are not yet ready to tap the full potential of lateral entry employees and both dream of advising companies in these regards.
I'm always up for exchanges like that and looking forward to keeping in touch with Andre, especially because he's got that super techie focus on that topic and I focus more on structural changes and future employee's storytelling and self-marketing.
