Job Security And Pay That Keeps Up With Inflation Are The New, Cool Job Perks
The new year will call for you to focus on job security, finding companies that can provide assurances that they are not planning layoffs, and compensation that can keep up with inflation. You may want to go into the office up to five days a week to ensure that management notices you, as you’ll benefit from the proximity bias. The beginning of 2023 will be challenging for workers. Job hunters will need to play defense. With predictions of continued layoffs, hiring freezes and an upcoming recession, the job market outlook won’t be as robust as it was in the recent past.
How To Find A New Job In The New Year
Many people wait until the new year to search for a new job. Now that 2023 is here, you don’t have any excuses and need to get started on the job hunt. Searching for a new job takes time and energy. Think deeply about what you want to do next. You will need to do homework to see how hot or cold the job market is for your specific type of career. Update your rèsumè and LinkedIn profile, start speaking with people in your network to gather job leads, find headhunters that specialize in your space, create an elevator pitch and put together a daily action plan to achieve your goal.
The New Year Is The Right Time To Reinvent Your Work Self
It’s never too late to make a career change. After working in a profession for several years, people hit a wall. They feel burned out and exhausted, which causes them to lose their passion. There is a tough choice to make: do you keep going through the motions, hoping that things will improve, or is it time to pivot to something different and reinvent your career and rejuvenate your mood? Alternatively, fast-growing trends, like artificial intelligence, have disrupted your job, and now you’re forced to figure out the next play.
