In this post, I would like to share a lecture from my module “Employability, Creativity, and Personal Development”. I taught this online lecture last Friday, and I thought it might be a good resource for young individuals interested in increasing their adaptive skills for the job market.
This lecture is about surviving and thriving in a disruptive environment. It addresses the following questions:
- How should we understand disruption?
- How do disruptive companies work? What can we learn from them?
- How can we disrupt ourselves?
- How do we prepare our CVs and cover letters?
- How do we prepare for job interviews?
- How can be more creative and anti-fragile in our careers?
The lecture covers topics such as disruptive innovation, disruptive companies, unicorns, entrepreneurial thinking, becoming creative, developing soft skills, and preparing for the job interview.
The overall thread that connects this lecture is the goal to become anti-fragile, creative, resourceful, and resilient for the changing job market.
