Looking For A New Job? Top Three Tips

So, it's time to take the plunge and you are looking for a new job? We asked Mike Westbury for recommendations of the first three things to action before embarking on a new job hunt. Check out the video below. As mentioned in point #1 of the video, at one eighty recruitment we've had hundreds of chats to help people articulate point #1 so please do reach out for a chat if we can help.

 Looking For A New Job?
1. Work out what you want

Work out what you want in a job. Take some time to write down what you are hoping to achieve by changing jobs, is it a career change, a progression, lifestyle? It helps to have thought about these things before looking for a new job to ensure you are fulfilled in your new job.

2. Rewrite your CV.

Rewrite your CV for the job you want, rather than the job you want. What are the skill sets, attributes and qualities required to be able to successfully do the job you wish to obtain?

We have some CV writing resources here, or alternatively we are always happy to chat and assist with tips.

3. Connect.

Connect with people and places where you want to work. Connect with people who are going to help you get to where you want to be. Perhaps even ask those people for a coffee and casual chat. The more you connect and get to know about your desired role, company or career, the better set you are to achieve your goals.

Where to from here?
Whether you are on the move, or just thinking about moving in the foreseeable future, we are always more than happy to help with a chat over a coffee or over the phone. Please feel free to contact us.
