When Christmas is over and done with, the start of a new year is just around the corner. If you\u2019re feeling the need for a big change in your life, and you don\u2019t want to waste your New Year\u2019s resolutions on the same old promises that\u2019ll be forgotten before the end of January, you might be thinking about looking for a new job.<\/p>\n

\"Male<\/a>It\u2019s a great time to think about where you want to be going in your career, and what you\u2019d like to achieve in the next twelve months. Do you need a new direction in your working life, or a position that will give you more variety, or more responsibility on a daily basis?<\/p>\n

Find The Best New Job For You<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Why do you want a new job?<\/strong><\/em> Before you start looking for new positions, think about what the problem is with your current job. If you feel unfulfilled, or aren\u2019t using the skills you would like to be using, it can help to think about what you like and dislike about your job, and this will help you to work out what you\u2019d like to do next.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0What skills do you have?<\/strong><\/em> Think about what you enjoy doing, and how you can best use your skills. Consider the skills you use in other areas, this is not just about the skills you use in your existing job. Are you going back to work after being at home with children? Your time management and multi-tasking skills are sure to be excellent! If you spend your spare time volunteering for a charity, don\u2019t forget to note down your commitment, motivation and organisational skills.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Do you have enough experience?<\/strong><\/em> Experience counts for a great deal. Any new employer will be looking for someone who can bring useful experience to the table as this will give them the assurance that you can handle the challenge of the role you want. If you are going for an internal promotion, build on the experience you already have and take the chance to gain more.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0What sort of job could you do?<\/strong><\/em> It\u2019s important to be realistic about the sort of job you can do, and to think carefully about what you want from your career. If you want a job that\u2019ll give you a good work\/life balance and allow you to earn a better wage, perhaps you\u2019ll need to consider re-training, or applying for a position that\u2019ll allow you to climb up the ladder gradually.<\/p>\n
