It’s easy to get complacent in your career. Many of us do in finance. You have a good job, make decent money, and you are in a groove. Work has become somewhat easy and you…
Today, many companies hire internally or they use employee referrals to find candidates to interview. This leaves many qualified candidates in the dark. But don’t worry. We’ll clue you into a number of ways that you can gain access to the hidden job market and open the door to many more career opportunities.
There are some major career choices that, if you make them today, you could come to regret 10, 15, or 25 years from now. Here are some career choices you can make today that you could regret in the future.
Just because the job is yours to lose doesn’t mean it cannot be lost. It’s never in the bag until you sign the employment contract; and even then, things can go wrong. Too many candidates, believing they are the perfect candidate, let down their guard a bit, get a little cocky and even greedy.
We all want to get promoted. Finance and accounting professionals, such as yourself, are competitive, driven, and want to take the next step in their careers. You work hard, meet performance standards, and believe you are a good employee. So, why haven’t you been promoted yet?
As we move toward a more decentralized workforce, and with location becoming less and less of a factor when recruiting and hiring candidates, organizations need to understand how this shift is not only impacting their ability to find and recruit new talent but also how this new economy is shaping candidates’ outlook and expectations.
When we were younger, we all dreamed of being recruited right out of school and having a job lined up after graduation. The truth is that it doesn’t always work out this way, however, it doesn’t mean that it can’t happen. You just need to know how to go about the process to make yourself a desirable candidate.
Just like any other industry, there is a need for continuous training in the recruitment world. How to recruit, where to find candidates, and approaches to hiring continue to change, and recruiters who keep their eye on the prize and stay on top of industry trends are positioned to be successful.
It could be argued that staying in the same job creates complacency. There isn’t a need to grow and learn new skills – something that is vital in an ever-changing marketing landscape.
