Job Search Expert Workshop
It’s no secret that searching for a new job is hard work and excruciatingly time consuming. From the preparation and customization of your personal profile documents, to navigating through the plethora of job search marketplaces, applying for each job that you find fitting, and then if you get past all these steps, going through the varying recruitment stages in the hopes you get at least one job offer. A lot of the time, this whole process can begin to feel disheartening, especially if you experience a few rejections. Let’s take a quick look at what the current job marketplace looks like and why it can be difficult to navigate.
Where are some great places to find jobs?
This really comes down to what industry you’re in and if you want to stay in that industry or move into something new. Here is a list of some job search engines that are great for conducting an initial scope of what’s out there.
Indeed
LinkedIn
Glassdoor
Facebook Job Board
Or maybe you are thinking of taking the leap and trying out freelancing but aren’t even sure what you can do or how you can best utilise your existing skillset. With remote working now a thing, making this move has never been easier, especially for those that know what they are good at, and how to market themselves. Here are some popular remote-only, work from anywhere job marketplaces.
Upwork
Fivrr
Flex jobs
People per-hour
·99designs (for creative skills such as graphic design, logo, and branding etc)
These marketplaces are highly competitive, meaning you will be up against thousands of other freelancers with and diverse skillsets. For those that grasp how their skillset can transfer into the freelancing space, the earning potential can be great, and of course, you will be working on (mostly) your own schedule once you get some traction. Some popular skills include content writing, technical writing, proofreading, cybersecurity, web creation, software development, data entry and analysis or even as a virtual assistant. But as you can imagine, if you know how to, any skill can be monetised.
What can hold you back from finding your perfect opportunity?
There are several things that can hold you back from finding your perfect career opportunity. Self-doubt or not knowing what you want or where you want to go is something that a lot of people experience when entering the job market. The not-knowing facet even extends to not actually realising how your skills can transfer across industries and roles. This can stop you from applying for certain jobs because you don’t think you meet the required criteria.
