Sifting through hundreds of job posts can be tiring and confusing, especially with posts filled with industry-specific jargon and information.
The new year typically brings in new resolutions, opportunities and new beginnings, so why not bring about a career or job change? Its been suggested that by applying for new roles in the new year, therell be less competition as people will be lying low after the festive period, and wont necessarily think about a career change. The first two months of the year also mean that companies will have had time to think about their resourcing over the break, due to updated yearly budgets - meaning that your dream job may just be an application away.
If youre on the lookout for a new job, or plan to be now its the new year, research into the most in-demand skills can reveal which roles companies are looking to fill the most.
