For anyone stuck between jobs...real income options, real support, and a 30-day plan to move forward.
<h3>The bills don't stop while you wait.</h3>
If your job search is taking longer than expected, you already know “stay positive” doesn’t pay rent. You don't need another motivational quote...you need a plan.
The "In the Meantime" Summit is a half-day virtual event built for the gap… the in-between… the season nobody prepares you for. Hosted by an HR and workforce strategy leader focused on helping professionals navigate real-world employment challenges.
We're going to spend one focused day getting practical about what you can do right now, while you keep pursuing what's next. This is not a networking event. This is a working session
This is for you if...
<ul><li>You’ve been searching and feel stalled or overlooked</li><li>You come from a corporate background and haven’t considered gig or contract work</li><li>You need real ways to earn without giving up your long-term goals</li><li>You want a space that acknowledges the emotional, financial, and identity weight of this season</li></ul>
In one day you'll get...
<ul><li>An opening session that validates what you’ve been carrying</li><li>A keynote on why gig, temp, and fractional work are real strategic options right now</li><li>Breakout sessions on income options, unemployment navigation, money management, and mental health</li><li>A resume and brand session focused on transferable skills</li><li>A real-talk panel with people who used in-between work to move forward</li><li>A guided closing where you build your personal 30-day plan</li></ul>
