TAKING STEPS TO FINDING NEW JOB
Whether you’re searching for a job or thinking of making a career change, taking positive steps now can benefit you for months to come.
BRAND YOURSELF:
Why not have your own site showcasing your capabilities? You should tailor your project to your job interests. Make sure your online profile is current by updating sites such as LinkedIn and creating a CV profile on our website www.nijobfinder.co.uk.
RESEARCH A LEAD:
You have found a job you like, contacted the recruiter and are looking to take the next step. Make sure you do your research thoroughly. Look through the company’s media centre and see what it has been up to in the press. Read articles about the sector it operates in. Be critical. Think about what you would do to improve the business and prepare questions to ask.
BE RESILIENT:
It’s easy to be downhearted if your job search isn’t going well. Don’t take rejection personally and remember that a recruiter’s needs change, so that no could become a yes.
UPDATE YOUR WARDROBE:
New year, new you. Make sure you’re ready for a potential interview by dressing smart and feeling good.
THINK AHEAD:
You may need to further your studies to get the job you really want. Consider a part-time course or a return to education.
SET YOUR 2015 GOALS:
Make your New Year career resolutions early. Don’t forget to make social, personal and money goals too, and review them monthly.
