Join us for our IIBA Seattle March 22 chapter meeting, in the cloud! We are very excited to have Leah Hollingsworth as guest speaker. Leah will share knowledge and insight on the Business Analysis job market and tips for job-seekers.

Your Great Redesignation with Leah Hollingsworth

In January, Karin Kimbrough, LinkedIn's Chief Economist, dubbed this a "worker's economy." She calls it "a new labor market dynamic we haven’t seen in decades where job seekers are having an easier time finding and securing better job opportunities, with far less competition." It's a great time to get a better job and therefore a great time to rethink what makes you a fantastic hire. Join Seattle IIBA and Leah Hollingsworth, PHR, CAPM, of TokuSaku Consulting for a candid, instructive presentation exploring a new way to think about your value to an employer or client and how to best showcase it. We will consider the job market for business analysts and the toolkit you can prepare in preparation for a new position or complete career shift. The new virtual world of applying and interviewing has changed our interaction experiences, but not the need to come across as a capable professional and land that new role.
