New year, new job? The new year is fast approaching and soon we will say goodbye to 2023, and hello to 2024.

Maybe you have a New Year’s resolution to find your dream job in 2024? If so, now is the perfect time to begin your job search so you can get ahead of the competition.

Don’t sit around waiting for opportunities to come to you!

Stay ahead of the competition

Applying to jobs before the New Year will enable you to stay ahead of the competition. While others are winding down for the holidays, you can show your motivation and commitment by powering on.

Show your dedication while applying for jobs.

Another benefit of applying early is that you will stand out from the crowd. Rather than following other people’s lead, applying early can help you catch future employers’ eyes.

Temporary and permanent roles

During the festive period, many companies offer temporary and seasonal work and as the year comes to an end, many of those agency staff will be moving on to different employment. This is a great window of opportunity for you to find a role within the industry you desire.

While you are doing your job search, it is also important to consider applying for temporary work. Although you may only want a permanent position, temporary positions can be a great way to build your resume and develop your employability skills.

Temporary positions can offer you experience in many industries, flexible hours, great rates of pay, and help minimise any employment gaps you might have. You may also be given the opportunity to extend your contract, or even have the option to make the role permanent.

Work hard and put in the effort to prove to yourself and your future employer that you are worthy of staying there.

If you need any advice with your job search and want to find your perfect new role in 2024, you can book a Career MOT with one of our Consultants who can discuss the following:
