January is a great, if not the best, time to search for a new job. It just is. Why? Employers are filled with new hope, new budgets, new directives and a bunch of other "news." Even if this isn’t technically the start of their new fiscal year, they know it’s the time of year employees take stock. They know the best employees will be mobile, so they want to hire those best employees. They also pray their best employees don’t go all mobile on them…as in create unplanned vacancies! I’ve been working for 35 years as an executive in small and large companies, a business owner, executive recruiter, and career coach. A little street cred I’d hope you’d say… …and I’d say, every year I’ve worked, I watch history repeat itself as employers reflect, think, rethink, plan, and scale. This should matter to you whether you’re looking for a new job or not! And, you should use this opportunity to position yourself advantageously. What exactly do you need to do? It’s in today’s podcast on Job Search Tips for the New Year. I give you a behind-the-scenes take on what this looks like inside organizations and the changes to make to your approach to significantly increase your odds of success!
