Leaving a workplace where you've been settled, we know isn't easy. It helps to know where to begin and it’s not always that easy, so our team are here to help and support you on your journey.
To help your career change, we need you to:
Take the first step:
- Identify the career options that you think you would really enjoy, Don’t limit your ambitions at this stage.
- Think about the skills you’ve gained. Is there crossover? If so, use this list of skills to identify the types of jobs and industries you are suited to. Focus on your strengths and what really motivates you.
- Think about the future.
Tidy up your CV:
- Get your inspiration from roles that are advertised. Do the skills on your CV match what companies are looking for? Talk to recruiters about what they consider to be a great CV you can give one of our team a call today on 01273 978535.
- Get some trusted feedback. When you’ve spent ages working on your CV, it is easy to miss typos. If possible, ask a friend to proofread it for you.
- Customise your CV for each role that you apply for. Make sure you emphasise the parts that the person reading it would most be interested in.
At the interview:
- Have answers prepared for frequently asked questions, such as "Where do you see yourself in five years?" or "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"
- Prior to an interview, be sure to have done your research on the company and your prospective employer who will likely have researched your online profile before the interview.
- Be honest. Be prepared to address any gaps in your employment history, or the reason why you suddenly had to leave your last position.
- Look the part. Dress for the job you want. Presentation can make the difference in whether you are hired.
It may take a while, but the perfect job for you is out there. Hopefully, you will find following these steps useful.
