Get a better job – we’re right behind it

A lot of people who might otherwise have begun a job hunt last year sat tight, preferring to stay with their current employer than start a potentially futile job hunt or, worse still, change jobs only to find themselves surplus to requirements not long after.

But with signs the job market is moving in the right direction – the latest Report on Jobs sponsored by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG (which we contribute to) reveals there was an increase in demand for staff in the three months to December – now could be a good time for candidates to start considering their options.

We’ve always found job fairs a very positive way to engage with candidates. You know that everyone in the room is actively interested in launching a job search, that’s why they’ve taken the time to visit. As an agency exhibiting at these events we find we’re often targeted by people who know they’re not particularly fulfilled or happy in their current role but aren’t quite sure what else might be open to them.

We’re able to help, advise and suggest possible solutions – whether it be companies they could speak to, courses they could attend to improve their skill set or even inviting them in for a more formal consultation if we feel we can really add value to their search.

Get A Better Job day is an annual event in Peterborough. This year it’s being held on Thursday, January 28 between 10am and 6pm at The Great Northern hotel.

While those are currently out of a job are welcome, the day is also geared towards those who are looking for, as the name suggests, a better job!
