1. Consider Your Workplace Non-Negotiables
   Define what you expect from a workplace and what you're not willing to compromise on. With a third of our lives spent at work, it’s important to ensure it’s a positive and fulfilling environment.

2. Build Your Social Media Presence
   Hiring managers often review candidates online. Ensure your profile is professional, up-to-date, and connected to relevant industry professionals.

3. Revamp Your CV
   Ensure your CV includes the right keywords aligned with your ideal role. Don’t worry if this sounds daunting— we can help craft your CV to save you time and maximise its impact.

4. Upskill
   Consider upgrading your skills. LinkedIn data shows that required skills have changed by 25% since 2015. Employers are looking for candidates with emerging skill sets, and we stay closely attuned to what our clients need.

5. Build Credibility in Your Field
   Attend industry events, participate in presentations, and expand your professional network. This helps ensure you’re top-of-mind when the perfect role becomes available.

6. Work with a Specialist Recruiter
   Choose a respected recruitment agency that can help you conduct a discreet and effective job search. We often know of opportunities before they’re even advertised.

7. Stay Engaged in Your Current Role
   Continue giving your best performance at your current job. Maintaining motivation and professionalism will leave you in good standing while you explore new opportunities.

8. Be Open to New Opportunities
   Stay open-minded to roles in emerging fields or industries you may not have considered. Sustainability roles and tech-driven positions, for example, are rapidly growing areas of interest.

9. Prepare Thoroughly for Interviews
   Interview preparation is critical and often overlooked. Research the company, understand the role, and let your enthusiasm and passion shine through.

10. Be Persistent and Patient
    Finding the right role takes time. Stay positive, be proactive in your search, and trust the process. With a strong plan and the right approach, your next career move is just around the corner.
