Go Back

New Start

Kim Dalton(OU) - Tuesday, December 02, 2008

At this time of year many people start to re-evaluate their lives and reflect on what they have been doing, causing them to think about what they really want from life. It is a popular time to set goals for the year ahead both personally and professionally.

If your New Years resolution is to finally leave that job you dislike, then our consultants here at Outlook Unlimited may be able to help you do just that!

There is a lot to consider when looking for your next position - salary, location and more importantly job satisfaction. Below are some key points to consider when deciding what path to follow:

  • Consider what aspects of your current position you enjoy and which you dislike. This will enable you to focus on what you want from your next position.
  • Be realistic in the targets you set yourself, if you want a position that has opportunities for progression then look for companies that have a clear development plan, this could involve taking a drop in your current salary but could lead to so much more.
  • You should ask yourself why you want a new job. Is it because of the environment? Travelling distance? Salary? Or the job itself? Thinking carefully about these things can help you be sure of where you want to go next.
  • Once you have decided what you want, Revamp your CV to highlight the aspects of work that are relevant to your chosen path.
  • Keep positive! If at first you don’t succeed, try again! It’s not nice if you apply for a position and you are unsuccessful but look on the positive side, it has given you more experience and confidence with interview situations.

When you place your next career move in our hands, you can be confident that you will be dealt with to the highest ethical standards, underpinned by total belief in our values. From the very start we will work closely with you to understand your individual needs with the objective of ensuring that we place the right person in the right job at the right time, ensuring the best chance of your future success.
