From the Editor


Welcome to Issue 3 of our magazine! Since the first issue was published, there have been two major changes that have affected employment.


The first is how quickly the use of technology has grown. Online tools are enabling people to review both working patterns and employment opportunities.


The second is that, thanks to furlough or working from home, many people seem to have reflected on their working experience: Do they still enjoy the job they do? Would they like a better work/life balance?


The good news is that you are probably far better equipped for the workplace than many who have been in it for years. We hope our magazine inspires you, not just for your first career but all subsequent careers too!
