| In general |
Concentrated version of Parachute process, and more; high energy, high participation, high connectedness in "cohort" group (everyone at same place at same time); intensive, with much emphasis on alternatives to the resume-centered job search relying on competitive public postings of jobs |
Relaxed, expansive, thoughtful, exploratory version of Parachute process and much more; highly supportive group setting with new people arriving along the way; the long view of a right livelihood or life's work, with quiet influence on short-term job-finding needs |
