\n

Upcoming Career Festivals have ‘quiet hours’ where the festival intensity is dialled back and you can engage with less of the sensory overwhelm. Now if only we could do this with life in general!<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are a subscriber, you know by now that we feature events and resources from Careers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reason is simple. Investing in your professional development is likely to improve your wellbeing, especially if you expect your work will be a significant contributor of meaning and purpose to your life.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we’re resharing a note about upcoming Career Festivals in March and April, but with a twist!<\/p>\n

So, these upcoming festivals have been mentioned previously<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Tracey contacted me last week to let me know that these festivals will include ‘quiet hours’.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd15\ud83d\udd15<\/p>\n

“Quiet Hour is your chance to explore the festival without the hustle. Lights are lower, noise is reduced, and the pace is slower, creating a calm, low\u2011sensory environment where you can chat with employers in a way that feels comfortable and manageable.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you prefer quieter spaces, get overwhelmed by busy environments, or simply want time to ask questions without the crowd, Quiet Hour is the perfect moment to wander, talk, and explore opportunities at your own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quiet Hour is here to help you feel supported, confident, and ready to OWN IT in a way that works for you.”<\/span><\/p>\n

[Editor’s note: I kinda wish life in general was like this]<\/em><\/p>\n
