NotEntirelyDead.org (NED) is a social enterprise championing cancer survivors in the workplace. The hard work of defeating cancer is often seen as an unfavourable career gap. But fighting cancer is one of the toughest jobs an individual will ever have and it deserves a place on a CV. The competencies that cancer survivors develop through adversity aren’t disabilities or liabilities, as current workplace biases might suggest. They’re super abilities. Grit, determination, resilience, ownership, dedication, empathy: these are the critical skills companies are looking for in prospective hires.
