Spring is a time for new growth and change. Maybe you have been pondering over the winter months about making a change in career direction or applying for a new job. Is 2015 going to be your year for change?
We are told that green shoots are appearing in the economy but how can job seekers or career changers connect with employers?
Networking is widely known as one of the most important approaches to job seeking. Many jobs are never advertised. In a lot of cases jobs are found by word of mouth. Building your network requires planning, it is not a matter of talking to every one you know, it is a matter of talking to the right people. Get connected with people who can endorse your ability and skills, and who can introduce you to the right people.
Grow your network further by exploring opportunities and attending events where you can meet like-minded people and potential employers. Career or job expos are a great way to do this and you will often come away with fresh ideas and a renewed motivation.
Why not check out events such as these two coming up over the next few months.
