Author Talk: Christopher Bishop, Improvising Careers: Succeed at Jobs that Don’t Exist Yet
Wednesday, January 14 @ 6:30 pm: Nanopharmacist? Lunar tour guide? Robotic ethics consultant? Augmented reality content designer? Quantum algorithm programmer? These jobs may not sound familiar now, but they will in the near future. Join us for a fascinating author talk with longtime Wilton resident Christopher Bishop, discussing his new book Improvising Careers: Succeed at Jobs That Don’t Exist Yet.
Improvising Careers is based on Christopher Bishop’s successful navigation of eight different careers, from touring rock musician to fifteen years at IBM to quantum podcast host. Improvising Careers provides readers with tools to both shape and take advantage of coming technological innovations. People can prepare for the kinds of work they might be doing as they move into the middle of the twenty-first century by leveraging the insight and socio-historical perspective in Bishop’s pragmatic guidebook.
