New Year, New Job? Follow our top tips on how to get the most of your job search in 2019!

1. Getting Used To New Technologies

Blockchain and cryptocurrency – two things which are so new! It’s rare to find people who have years of experience in this field. If you have even the slightest bit of knowledge about these, there are career opportunities galore for you. If you’re willing to grow and learn about new technologies, you will be in the know when it comes to ever-changing tech.

2. New Interview Techniques

Social Media checks, video interviews, behavioural assessments – there have been some major changes to the way job interviews are being held. What is important is when applying for roles, ensure your social media is a profile you would be proud of if a potential employer was to look at it. Privacy settings are vital if any personal information has to be kept private.

3. Oversharing On The Internet

We like to post on social media but it could be what you’re posting that could stop you from getting that dream job. It may feel good to help people who face the same medical and financial challenges by sharing your story, but you could also be endangering your future employment opportunities.

4. Keep Core Values In Mind

You’re more likely to get a job with a company if you share its core values — and you’re more likely to find the work fulfilling. Before you apply for an organisation, read what their mission statement is and reflect on what their core values are.

5. Tell Your Career As A Story

If you have a tonne of experience behind you that’s lead you to the position that you’re in today, share it with the world as if you’ve written every single chapter yourself. The exciting parts, the shock factor and even the sad times, we want to know every detail. You could be an inspiration to someone who’s looking to take their first steps in your shoes.

5. Stay Engaged In The Job Market

Keep up with companies on social media, and network with their current employees. That way, you’ll be a known entity when the time comes to make a move. Take an interest in what they do in their job role. See if their skill set is similar to yours.
