Reduce Fear, Increase Confidence and Get a Real Perspective
Looking for a new job is not something any of us do all that often. It is particularly daunting if you have been out of the workforce for several years for whatever reason — including
- raising a family,
- caring for an elderly or sick relative,
- redundancy, or
- recovering from illness or injury.
Many people, even if they’ve been in constant employment, are unfamiliar with how much the job seeking landscape has changed with the internet and advent of LinkedIn and other social media website. These changes have occurred for businesses advertising jobs as well as jobseekers who are trying to “sell” themselves as the best candidate for the job.
Tools and skills to create your career plan
The way people search for jobs is changing and many people use a combination of methods to find work and get in contact with prospective employers.
The Career Academy JobSeeker training program outlines some of these methods and their effectiveness; including gleaning the job websites and newspapers, the power of LinkedIn, using a recruitment agency and attending network events and using referrals.
Our Career Academy gives you clear advice on how to win work and find a job that will suit you and your circumstances and aims at turning a scary task into a task based on awareness and certainty that you can actually achieve.
