Work life: Can you do the COVID pivot?
In May this year the Australian Bureau of Statistics released figures showing that almost one million Australians have lost their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic. That’s not including people who have had their hours reduced.

Kirsty Levin is a careers counsellor at The Parents Village.
Prior to the pandemic she helped people change careers after a break in work, or when they wanted to do something new. Kirsty explains what she calls the ‘COVID Pivot’ and why she thinks it’s still possible to have hope in an otherwise bleak time.
