CHANGING CAREERS? THE OU JOB BOARD HAS TIPS FOR YOU: EXPERT ALEX FREUND TO PRESENT ‘PEOPLE IN TRANSITION’ WEBCAST JULY 18

In basketball, transition refers to a team going over from offense to defense or defense to offense. Coaches have devised plays of great complexity to turn transition into points. In the world of work, transition refers to changing fields of employment. It too has its complexities, and often help is needed to produce a score.
