 Get better sleep. Start a new workout routine.
Find a new, fulfilling job. The last resolution may be more
difficult than the others, but by breaking down the job
search into smaller, focused steps, you can find a creative
position in 2021 that matches your skills, experience and
interests. Here are five tips to help you start working
towards your job search resolution now:
- Renew your resume and a digital portfolio.
Having these materials at the ready will help you apply for
a position right away. But one size doesn’t fit all.
Tweak your resume and portfolio for every opportunity to
ensure your skills and experience match the job.
- Audit your online presence. Review
your LinkedIn profile and make sure it reflects your most
recent professional accomplishments. Also consider how
you present yourself on social media and online forums.
You may need to do some digital housekeeping.
- Pursue new skill sets. Developing
an in-demand skill or adding a certification to your
resume can help you stand out as a candidate, as well
as negotiate a higher salary. Investing in your
professional development demonstrates initiative and
a commitment to learning.
- Put job satisfaction first. Now
is a good time to assess your professional and personal
goals and determine exactly what you are looking for in
a new job. What would make you happy? A new industry?
Greater responsibility? A flexible work schedule?
- Stay determined. Many employers
today take weeks and several rounds of interviews to
choose job candidates who are likely to thrive in
their unique organization. Stay in touch with the
hiring manager, while continuing to network and apply
to other jobs.
