About This Event
Standing out in the hiring process is hard. Join us for a panel discussion around side hustles and how pursuing passion projects outside of your 9-5 can help you in the recruitment process.
Why it Matters
The “gig economy” is so impactful right now that NPR named it one of the biggest buzzwords of 2016.
Although some people start their side gigs with the intention of turning them into full-time jobs, lots of career professionals do it just because they love it. These folks are motivated by their passion for the work — and sometimes, the extra income, too.
The upside for job seekers: Not only do these folks get an extra outlet for their creativity -- they also appear more attractive to hiring managers. By investing in meaningful activities outside of work, people with side hustles exhibit initiative, creativity, motivation, and a willingness to take on more responsibility.
Takeaways
Hear from a panel of Boston startup leaders as they share how side hustles have benefitted their careers - and provide tips on how to balance your full-time job with your extracurricular activities.
