RESILIENCE IS THE KEY WHEN LOOKING FOR A NEW ROLE

In today’s job market, resilience is key when looking for a new role.

With 25 years of experience, Fella & Jones have seen it all. From the LinkedIn abyss to the economic downturn and of course the pandemic. Finding the right job can feel like an uphill slog.

Here are Fella & Jones’ tips to help you:

Break Down the Process

Break your job search into manageable steps: This might include updating your resume, networking, applying for a certain number of jobs per week, and preparing for interviews.

Set goals or milestones: Set daily or weekly goals to keep yourself on track without feeling overwhelmed. I.e, apply to two jobs a day, reach out to an old colleague, or join a relevant group.

Stay Organised

Track Applications: Use a spreadsheet or a job search management tool to keep track of the jobs you’ve applied for, interview dates, and follow-up actions.

Stay Positive and Persistent

Highlight your skills: Remind yourself of your key skills and past achievements and celebrate what you are good at.

Manage Rejections: Understand that rejection is part of the process. Each application and interview are learning opportunities that bring you closer to your goal.

Self Care

Mental Health: Practice mindfulness, deep breaths, meditation, or any stress busing activities. Ensure you’re getting enough sleep and maintaining a healthy diet.

Physical Health: Regular exercise can help reduce stress, boost your mood and help with a positive mindset.

Build your Network

Networking: Connect with friends, family, and former colleagues who might provide leads, references, or moral support.

Professional Groups: Join professional groups and associations, or attend any events or forums both online and offline related to your field. These can be great sources of information, support, and job leads.

Continue to Learn

Use this time to learn new skills or improve existing ones. Online courses, webinars, and workshops can enhance your employability.
