Is your job being redesigned? It could be a blessing in disguise

Learning that your job scope will be redefined can be daunting.

In his latest askST Jobs column, experts shared with Tay Hong Yi that getting your job redesigned can become an opportunity for professional growth, as you get exposed to skills that you may not have learnt before. They also advise to be open to changes in job roles.

Speaking of jobs, three experts shared tips on how to grow a career in the sustainability field at a panel session last Sunday, organised by HeadSTart and Uniqlo. Another panel session brought together two experts who discussed how to incorporate more sustainable habits into our daily lives.
