In today’s job market, people are resigning from their current positions to find new jobs that will give them a better work-life balance. This extremely high rate of resignations is known as the Great Resignation phenomenon, and you can read more about it at our blog or watch our recruiters examine what is triggering it at our vlog. With extremely high rates of demand for top-quality job talent, there is no better time to launch a job search that will give you a better salary and benefits package.
Best Practices to Reduce Anxiety
Looking for a new job can be a life and career-changing decision, and it is easy to get overwhelmed by all of the opportunities and applications. Our #1 tip to reduce job search anxiety is to formulate a plan that considers the details of what position you want and where you want to work. The plan should include the must-haves in your new job so that you can easily determine which positions and companies to avoid when beginning your search. Your plan should also include your anticipated pay range and the compensation packages you are looking to receive. This helps in the interview process when your hiring authority is discussing salary.
Your job search plan should also include a list of companies you are looking to target, and companies you are currently in the interview process with. Having a detailed plan will keep you feeling positive and organized about where you are at in your job search.
