Lost Your Job?

Have you lost your job?

This is tough, I do understand and I want you know that I really want to help. I’ve been a recruiter for a long time and throughout my career I’ve been able to help people who are desperately looking for a job. It IS possible to find a job, even in this climate so here are some of the things it’s worth considering if you need to find work now.

⭐️ Go on LinkedIn and check their job boards, companies are posting their jobs on there as well as on the job board section of the site. Make sure your profile states that you’re interested in hearing new opportunities. Only recruiters can see this so don’t worry, you don’t have to write it all over your profile.

⭐️ Check your CV/resume and make sure it outlines the kind of job you want NEXT not just what you have done in the past.

⭐️Do you need a job now? Pivot. Apply for jobs in sectors and industries that you may not have been interested in working in before. Supermarkets in the UK have a fast track scheme for applications and other big hirers are doing the same.

⭐️If you’re not able or you don’t want to change career paths at the moment then really focus on applying for jobs, networking on LinkedIn and being really consistent about your search.

⭐️Emotions run high, they can for all of us at the moment. That’s ok, just an hour of consistent job searching per day adds us to nearly a whole working days worth of applying for jobs. Take it slowly and don’t rush to get applications in because you’ll burn out.

⭐️There are jobs out there and companies are STILL hiring, you can do this.

DM me if there’s anything you want me to particularly cover. I’ll be her everyday with a new video for you.

Stay safe ❤️
