Thinking about your new year’s resolutions? Learn a new skill, cook a new meal every week – with the new year creeping up on us quickly, now is as good a time as any to set goals and intentions for the next 12 months. But, what about career aspirations?
For some, the new year brings with it the chance to make a healthy fresh start in all aspects of their life, including their career. If this is you, and you’re seeking a career change in the new year, read on to discover HR Star’s top tips to land your dream job as quickly as possible.
- Create a bucket list of all the industries, companies and titles that you’re seeking and apply for those roles that are hitting your requirements.
- If you’re currently working in a different industry to the one you’re applying for, you will likely need to tailor your CV to the job or sector you’re going after. Ask yourself what skills and experiences you have that are transferable and align to the role or roles for which you’re applying.
- Also consider updating your personal profile with a strapline if applicable and dependent on your personal circumstances, such as “currently seeking new opportunities where existing skills and experience can be utilised”.
- Continue networking, maintain your connections, build relationships, and reach out to businesses of interest and make enquiries. Get your foot in the door wherever possible.
- Finally, keep an eye on HR Star’s Star Search pages where our team of experts are regularly working with businesses up and down the country to recruit for a variety of roles within various sectors and industries.
