Youll never be done learning and improving, so stay curious, skeptical, and be ready to fail. And finally, prepare to reinvent yourself. The times are changing at an increasing pace. Are you ready to change with them? As you think about building the second half of your career, consider Jeff advise that being forever employable means youve got to be intentional about where you are going, and be prepared to act, immediately and without hesitation!
