If you’ve been with us from the beginning of the January Jump, you’ll know the drill.
If you joined a little later, or would like a quick recap, scoot back to Task 9 where I set out the instructions for our first Personal Task session in the Jump.
Use your 30 minutes productively and tick off another high priority task. Good luck!
Stay tuned… Tomorrow we’re moving onto CVs so make sure you’ve got your CV close at hand, ready for tomorrow’s task.
Find out more about the January Jump, and see previous tasks, on the January Jump homepage.
Ask a question or let us know how you are getting on with your January Jump.
If you would rather ask your question privately, email us with the word “private” in your email title. We aim to answer all questions publicly (because someone else will probably be wondering the same thing) but we can do so without using your name.
Sorry we cannot provide legal advice or bespoke career advice as part of the Jump.
Please contact us separately if you would like to enquire about these services.
