We’ve officially passed the halfway point for 2024! So if you’re thinking about finally making those career moves you considered in January, or perhaps you just want to explore your options, we’re here to guide you…
Consider what you want
Think about what skills, strengths, values, passions, and motivations you bring to the table, as well as practical considerations like salary and professional advancement. If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few pointers:
Take a skills assessment tool to identify suitable career paths or current skills gaps on the market.
Research courses, certifications, and volunteer opportunities that align with your career goals.
Expand your network by attending industry talks, workshops, conferences, or online networking events.
Move forward with a mentor
Not ready to leave your current role just yet? It’s still worth preparing for potential advancements – reflect on your present situation and analyse your current performance to help you figure out where you need to improve.
This is where a mentor could prove useful – they can help you establish and work on your skills so you can move forward in your future career. Look at your existing community or consider doing some broader outreach, like on LinkedIn or at a networking event.
Ensure your CV is impactful
We don’t just mean adding a few new bullet points – it’s key to tailor your CV to each individual position you’re applying for. Focus on your skills, achievements, and experiences that are relevant to the specific role – and remember to avoid cliches.
Keep your CV concise, with two pages being the very maximum so readers can easily scan key information. Infuse your personality throughout – then once you’re done with these amends, ask for feedback from friends, colleagues, or your mentor. Because at this pivotal point in your career, external support really matters.
