Hacker Exchange presents: Unconventional Career Paths

Employability. Job ready. Future of work. So many buzz words...

Let's be real – we all just want a career that's fulfilling, fun and challenging. And if it pays the bills, it's a handy bonus...

So how can you differentiate yourself when everyone else seems to have it all figured out?
What does it mean to have a 'portfolio career'?
How does it feel to make up your own job?
What role does university and ongoing education really play, overall? 

And how can you forge your own path to a career that you can be proud of? 

On Thursday Nov 26, grab a coffee, log on, and join HEX and our friends from Culture Amp, Google and Paddl for a candid discussion with professionals who have made some gutsy moves, travelled unexpected pathways, and landed in awesome careers.
