If you are determined that this is the year that you will find yourself a new job, then you will need to get started – sadly, it is very rare that your dream job just comes to you. The secret to finding your perfect job is all in the planning – here are some of the things to start doing that will help you find the job that is right for you…
First of all, start your job search as if it is a job in itself. Set time aside to do it and put distractions to one side so that you can really focus and get the best out of it. The first thing to do is think about what you want from the job. Consider the hours that you can work, the industry that you want to work in and what training you have or can do in order to advance in the role.
Once you have all of this, then you will have a good idea of the sort of job that you are looking for and are less likely to end up in a job that you are not happy in and isn’t suited to you.
You also need to be realistic and think about how you will get around challenges. For example, some jobs will require you to relocate to another area. Are you happy to do that? What commitments do you have outside of work? Transport to your job is something else to think about, the further away it is of course the longer your commute will be, so you need to factor in travel time too.
When you have decided what type of job you are looking for it is time to begin your search. Looking on job websites is a good way to find jobs, but you should also approach recruitment agencies that specialise in the specific type of job that you are looking for such as this procurement recruitment agency for example.
It can also help to get to know people in the industry as they might be able to give you tips and advice and might be aware of suitable jobs that are available.
