Thriving in the Gap: How to Make the Most of a Survival Job Without Getting Stuck Featuring Markell Morris

Many professionals take “bridge” jobs out of necessity, after a layoff, career disruption or while re-tooling for more meaningful work. While these roles can provide stability, they can also quietly stall long-term career progress.

In this practical, experience-based webinar, career counselor Markell R. Morris, MA, NCC, DCC shares real-world strategies drawn directly from job seekers who successfully used survival jobs as stepping stones, rather than dead ends. Participants will learn how to reframe their mindset, leverage everyday work experiences and strengthen their network to intentionally plan their next move and avoid burning out or losing momentum.

This session is ideal for mid-career and late-career professionals navigating transition, as well as recent graduates balancing financial realities with long-term career goals.
