Looking For A New Career

For many, January 1st is the beginning of a New Year’s resolution and a fresh start. A new career often lies high on the resolution list, so during the first calendar month jobseekers are habitually out in full force, whether its professionals looking to take the next step up the career ladder, or the unemployed looking to get back on market, the first calendar month always marks a strong hiring period.

Though January brings more vacancies, further budget, and greater optimism from Organisations in the Print & Packaging Industries, it also brings a lot of competition to the job market. It is vitally important that you stand out from the crowd during this busy period, so for Candidates looking to change careers in the New Year, the preparation begins now.

 Make the Most of December

Obtaining a new career can take time and the process often seems daunting, so being proactive, organised and positive during the month of December has huge advantages for Candidates. To kick-start your career in the New Year, focus on the following before 2016 arrives:
