Get your 2024 job hunt off to a perfect start!

With January being traditionally quiet, February is the busiest time of the year for recruitment companies as people look to make good on their new year resolutions and make a positive career change.

After the mixed year the Industry has had, the Design and Construction sector will again be looking for talented employees in early 2024. If you are considering a new career change, or are looking to enhance your career, then now is the perfect time to start.

Here at Glue Executive we are ready to assist you in your quest, however we highly recommend the following, to give yourself a head start.

Set your goal – and be specific!

Don’t just declare – I’m going to get a new job. That’s like saying, I’m buying a new car. Have some specifics about what job you want to do, what you want from that job, and even who you want to work for. Don’t generalize, have direction and set goals.

Re-energise your CV (....and Portfolio)

This is your passport to a new job, a ticket to the table. The landscape has changed and your CV needs to be perfect to get you past the first hurdle. Update your skills and experience, review and rewrite. Tailor it for the job. This is something we can assist with making sure it meets the grade. For Design candidates, you need to also ensure your Portfolio is up to date showing samples of your 'best projects' (12 pages/10 MB max). Once ready, store your CV (and Portfolio) in the cloud so you can access it from anywhere at any time.

Update your social media profiles

This is an opportunity to market yourself. If you don’t have a LinkedIn profile then get one. If you do, then update it, again highlighting core competencies and keywords that will make you appeal to an employer.
