Our travel and hospitality industry, while severely impacted the last year and half, is starting to make a comeback. There are strategies you might consider to set yourself up for success going forward, whether that is within the industry and making a full career change. In either case, you need to carefully assess your situation as well as reaching out to the industry for advice and ideas. This assessment should include reviewing your skillset and where your true interests, values and passions are, spelling them out carefully. Standing out in a crowd is of utmost importance along your journey.
