Make it Happen in 2010
Monday, January 4, 2010 7:22Although you shouldn’t let the recession hold you back, if you can wait, do. Now’s the time to plan for your dream move, without the risk, ready to act when the moment comes. If you work on making yourself indispensable in the hard times, when opportunities emerge, you’ll be in the perfect position to pounce.
To succeed in a crowded job market, you must stand out. Here are some tips that can help you whether you want to progress in your current role or are looking to move.
1. Get networking
Meet as many people who do your dream job as possible. The more like-minded people you talk to, the more likely you are to hear about opportunities. Take business cards out with you, but don’t foist them on people unless they ask.
2. Make yourself valuable
How you are viewed by other, especially employers, is key to how valuable you are as an employee. If you are seen as the person with a can-do attitude and a professional outlook, you’ll get noticed.
3. Consider your ‘brand’
Never underestimate the power of Google. Employers use it to find out all they can about employees, so clean up your act online. Pictures of you coming out of a club feet first at 3am are fun for you, but tell employers that you’re out of control.
Keep profiles clean, and brush up your CV too. It is the first point of entry for new jobs and should really shine.
