Grab your job with both hands!

Keep your job!

Hi guys,

We are getting calls every day currently from people who are trying to change jobs or change career and our advice right now as employment is so insecure, whatever job you have right now, grab it with both hands!

This is not the time to change career direction unless of course redundancy is becoming a risk and you have to upskill or change career direction.

Alot of Sales people are trying to get in to Medical or Pharmaceutical Sales and this is proving more difficult without a Medical/Science qualification and Medical Sales experience.

We hear of redundancies being made every day and for these people we can offer little advice or encouragement as the economy dictates this situation.

Alot of people are turning to college and up skilling which seems to be having a positive effect.

However, if your current job is secure, do not look to change anything as it may not be the best job you ever had, but now is not the time to do anything about it as in a new Company, your will be the last in and therefore the first out as the Redundancy cloud looms.

In a nutshell, whatever your current job is, if it is secure, grab it with both hands.

The time for change will come when the market turns for the better.

Fitter for that new job

getting-fit1Good morning.

I thought I would highlight how looking for a new job, can in fact be an enjoyable task.

As we all know, our health is our most valuable asset and one which is very often taken for granted.

Looking for a job causes great stress levels which slowly build up in our nervous system turning us into the human equivalent of a pressure cooker. But when we do some physical exercise, all that stored up energy suddenly finds a channel through which it can operate. So when you finish, not only do you have that feel-good physical factor, but also an enhanced sense of mental clarity.

Feeling good about yourself and having clarity of thought are a MUST when looking for a new job.

Shaking off lethargy and sluggishness is a real challenge when looking for a new job. The feeling of disappointment and not being able to accomplish anything during the day will be common and there will be the temptation of throwing in the towel and putting your head under the covers. DON’T

We all know that deep inside us there is  boundless inner potential waiting to be fulfilled. One way to tap into this potential is through sports. Not only does this give you a sense of  joy and fulfilment but it releases endorphins into the blood and gives you the ‘feel good factor’.

It is imprtant to feel good when looking for a new job.

Make exercise part of your day and this will shake off any negative feelings around your situation and give you the confidence to do all you can in finding that new job.

And of course, you will be a lot fitter to take on the challenge.

The Recession bites the dust for some….

congrats-new-job1A Medical Sales Candidate of ours who has recently been made redundant, had a very pleasant experience today. He got two job offers from two excellent companies!

Like anyone else who loses their job, he was in fear of his mortgage and could not predict how long it would take to get his next job. What was very apparent from the start was that he was remaining positive right through the experience. He did not get affected by all the doom and gloom out there and faced the challenge head on.

He was called for interview for most, if not all jobs that he applied for, and he prepared well for each and every one of his interviews. He did research on every company he interviewed with, and knew the job description inside out. He did his interview preparation with the relevant Recruitment Consultant and had all the necessary information in advance of his interview.

His hard work and positive outlook won out in the end with his two job offers.

There is a lesson here for all of us. Work hard, remain positive and let’s beat this Recession!
