By sharing your story below you enable others to connect you with people, conversations, opportunities relevant to your personal and professional development:

When working as a Customer Service Specialist, I lost my motivation toward the end of the year. I felt that I was not valued and that the work was not challenging and interesting enough for me. On top of it all, most of my colleagues had also lost their motivation. It was then that I realized I needed a more challenging and fulfilling career, perhaps something creative, but I was uncertain of exactly what my next step would be. I went back to freelance teaching in the interim because I enjoy teaching, just not the freelancing. Then I discovered the UI Design Bootcamp and thought this could be something that I would really enjoy and could do full-time.

Great, now that you’ve made it easier for us to introduce you to the others – start to think about the topic and purpose of the event itself. Why do you want to participate in it? How do you feel the topic touches your work or life at the moment / in the future?

Climate change is a serious issue we are facing today.
