The beginning of the year is always the best time to make your big
life decisions, right? New year = fresh start. Last week’s blog
discussed setting and reaching your goals for the year, this post will
focus on arming you with the knowledge to wage a successful campaign for
one of your most important decisions – an employment search. Whether
you’re finishing school and ready to jump into an office environment,
out of work and searching for a job, ready to climb the next rung of
your organization’s ladder, wanting to check out of the daily corporate
grind for a position with a non-profit, or simply looking to understand
what your value is on the open market, now is a good time to understand
the market for 2014.
According to a recent
article from the
Society for Human Resource Management,
your chances of finding something new, different, and better are very
good. Not only have the months leading up to 2014 shown growth in the
total number of available jobs, this trend will continue well into 2014.
Plus, recent studies have shown:
- Businesses will hire more recent college graduates than in previous
years (National Association of Colleges and Employers 2013 Survey)
And perhaps most interesting:
- 83% of employees indicate they will be looking for a new job, with
an additional 12% auditing the employment market to assess their worth
as an employee
