Adding to the long list of stellar guest hosts who are friends of the #HireFriday movement, this week we were graced by the presence of two of the social media faces of CareerBuilder: Justin Thompson (@CareerBuilder) and Amy Chulik (@CBforEmployers). The topic they chose to discuss was The next step – How you plan your long-term career goals. Whether you are a job seeker or looking to enhance your career in a current job, the advice given is appropriate for everyone.

  5. How do you adapt your current skills to new or other industries?
