New Year, New Job?

2024 is fast approaching, and you may find yourself wanting to scratch that career itch you’ve been ignoring for a while. All the talk of resolutions, new goals and ambitions for the new year has got you considering whether a new role might be on the horizon for you.

Perhaps you’re feeling stunted in your current role, unable to progress, or simply want to challenge yourself and try something new.

If so, you’re in luck, because now is the perfect time to do just that.

While research shows that 1 in 5 people look for a new job in January, getting ahead of the rush and taking the plunge now will stand you in good stead for picking up the best roles.

Here’s why:

  • Less Competition – everyone waits until January to start looking and applying. Doing so now will provide you with more opportunities and less competition.
  • More Visibility – avoiding the January rush means your resume is more likely to land in front of your desired employer rather than get lost in the influx.
  • Faster hiring processes – an end-of-year budget surplus is your friend! Many employers are looking to hire professionals this side of Christmas to close off their budget for the year.

In short, don’t want! Start your new career search now to stay one step ahead of the masses. And if you’re stumped for career ideas, check these out…
