    A New Job for the New Year?

    0
    By CareerExperts on 22nd December 2016 Career Progression, Changing Jobs

    Are you looking to boost your career prospects in the New Year? If your current company can’t facilitate your growth and progression, then it’s the perfect time to start looking for a new challenge. Don’t settle working a job that’s going nowhere, making a move will change your life for the better.

    If you’re looking to start the new year with a new job then you’ve got plenty to do in order to get there. Here’s how you can secure your next opportunity.

    Step 1: Spruce up your CV

    Getting your CV up to date and looking great is always the first step when looking for a new job. If you need help getting your CV sorted, then look no further than our job application tips section. Here you can get all of your CV questions answered, find out the best way to format your CV and take note of common mistakes you need to avoid!

    Step 2: Register with recruitment agencies

    Specialist recruitment agencies can help you get your foot in the door with top employers in your industry. Sometimes recruiters can have a bad reputation, but the right ones can work wonders for your career!

    Still not convinced? Here’s more on how recruiters can help you.

    Step 3: Apply for jobs

    With today’s online job sites, you literally have thousands of jobs at your fingertips. However, don’t just limit yourself to the obvious sites, there are plenty of other places to look.

    Once you’ve submitted some fantastic applications, be sure to follow up too. Show the company that you are enthusiastic (but don’t appear too keen) and proactive.

    Step 4: Ace your interviews

    You’ve got this far, so now it’s time to make a great impression at your interviews. These are our top interview tips:

    • Build a rapport with your interviewer
    • Dress to impress
    • Be well-prepared
    • Ask questions

    Step 5: Quit your current job

    When you have a job offer under your belt you’re free to quit your current job! However, be sure to hand in your resignation is a professional manner and be prepared to work your notice period. Discover how to hand in the perfect resignation here.

    It’s not uncommon to receive a counter offer from your employer when handing in your resignation. While this may be tempting, be sure to think things through carefully. Why are you only being offered more money or a promotion now? Will the trust survive when your boss knows you wanted to leave? Will this work out in the long-term?

    Step 6: Start your new job

    Looking for a job is not the easiest thing on the planet, but when you get your foot in the door of a new company, that’s when the real hard work begins. Kick things off on the right foot:

    • Look the part
    • Arrive on time/early
    • Use your initiative
    • Ask questions
    • Be enthusiastic
    • Learn names
    • Get involved

    So, there you have it, a new job in the new year is well within your reach! Just be sure to be persistent and you will take your career to the next level.

    Have a happy New Year!
