Juice’s Top Tips for Moving Jobs in the New Year…

1. Update Your CV Over the Holidays

Use the time between Christmas and New Year, when you don’t have any plans, to refresh your CV. A few tweaks can make all the difference in presenting yourself in the best light. Need some guidance? LinkedIn has a handy guide on writing a great CV.

2. Look Beyond Job Boards

Don’t just rely on job boards. Do your research, reach out to recruiters, and attend networking events. Many of the best jobs aren’t advertised, so dig a little deeper. It’s also helpful to explore company websites directly to see if they have openings.

3. Be Clear on What You Want

Get specific about what you’re looking for. Does the role offer great career progression? Does it align with your future goals? Knowing what you want will help you focus your energy on roles that fit your vision. The Balance Careers has great advice on setting career goals if you’re feeling a bit stuck.

4. Think About Work-Life Balance

What kind of work-life balance are you after? Make sure your new job fits well with your lifestyle and makes you happy. This is super important to avoid burnout and ensure long-term satisfaction.

5. Tailor Your CV and Cover Letter

Customise your CV and cover letter for each position you apply for. It might take a bit longer, but showing that you’ve tailored your application can make you stand out. Employers notice the effort!

6. Try Temping if You’re Unsure

If you’re not quite sure about your career direction, temping can be a great option. It gives you a chance to try out different industries, get a feel for what suits you, and gain valuable experience without the long-term commitment. Plus, it might even lead to a permanent position later on – here, QSE explains how temporary jobs can lead to permanent opportunities.

7. Use Feedback to Improve

When you receive feedback, take it on board! Whether it’s about your CV, interview style, or anything else, feedback is a powerful tool for growth. Use it to strengthen your application and improve for next time.
