  For the mid career professional, career and job changes have increasingly become a way of life. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that over the past 25 years, Baby Boomers have held an average of 10.5 jobs. That’s moving to a new position every 2.5 years!

So what does this mean for the mid career professional, in terms of developing and preparing for this shift in job/career management?
