Introduction
Here we are, starting 2021 with a new sense of hope that our lives and careers will get back on track.
As my team and I take a break from working non-stop since the launch of this podcast back in October 2019, I have selected for you a very special episode from our catalog, which I feel is a perfect listen for this time of the year. You may not have heard this episode yet, or if you have, it may be worth re-listening. I have picked it to match the times we live right now, and I feel it will be a great companion as you walk your dog, prepare a meal, or get ready to take action on your New Year’s resolution.
While you’re listening to this oldie but goodie episode, I’m recharging my energy and planning great podcast content and interviews for 2021. So don’t forget to subscribe, follow and if you feel like you’re in the holiday spirit, give us a 5-star review on iTunes as a token of your appreciation for The Job Hunting Podcast. You have no idea how happy it makes me feel to see so many positive reviews on iTunes, and it also helps other professionals find this show and get the career support they need for their job hunting.
About this episode
For Paul Burrows, our guest today, the goal was to become financially independent and having the ability to make choices about where and when we wanted to retire or how much he and his wife wanted to work. Paul is now financially independent, and a few years ago, he decided it was time to retire. He has been a great mentor to other professionals. He takes a keen interest in career development, so I believe he is an excellent fit for this podcast, both with his career experience and knowledge and by having the right mindset to give back and help others achieve their best.
Here are some key take-ways from the interview with Paul:
1 - Redundancy experience:
2 - Career Transition
3 - Retirement:
4 - Financial independence**:
