More UK companies are offering sabbaticals as a 'work perk'. Digital bank Monzo recently told its 2,200 employees they could take a three-month sabbatical on full pay for every four years worked.

Today my 7th & 8th graders were NOT asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” but rather, “if you could try any job, what all would you choose to try?” I ❤️ that. Ss listed 25 & then watched TEDtalk @25before25 and discussed career portfolios. Thank you, Emma Rosen! 👏🏼

Teenagers struggling to get meaningful work experience during the pandemic?

We asked Emma Rosen, author and Chief Operating Officer of a careers-tech start-up, for her advice on how to secure virtual work experience during the coronavirus outbreak. http://bbc.in/33d2imS

It was a pleasure to speak to @LRGSLancaster virtually!

Corona left you with some time? Come join @BritishRedCross Community Reserve Volunteers! I'm worked with @TrussellTrust Brent today 😊😷 #FreelanceLife

Powerful new ad campaign from the Baltimore City Health Department.

Freelancer and worried about #corona? You and me both. Great article from @annacod on what the hell to do https://bit.ly/2xs6MsH #Freelancers

My advice for #NCW2020 is to explore ALL your options first. Don't jump into the first thing that comes along just because it's there/easy. In the long run, you'll be more productive and work harder in a job you actually care about (and this will earn you more $$)!

Next up on Work Happy we chat with Emma Rosen - author and TED talker famously known for her @25before25 project - about how to propel your career through work shadowing. Listen up now at: http://bit.ly/2OCVA2l
