New Guide To Job Hunting Available From Kelly Services

It is all too easy to get stuck in a rut at work. Job-hunting is a stressful, time consuming and tiring process and it’s often easier to put up with a boring job than face the hassle of doing something about it. That’s why Kelly Services has produced a new ‘Guide to Job Hunting’ which provides a series of shortcuts and top tips aimed at helping people through the entire process.

The free guide, available from local Kelly branches and the company website, provides advice across a number of different areas including:

  • Working out your priorities
  • Deciding how ambitious you are
  • Consulting your local recruitment experts – it’s a free service
  • Using your CV to sell yourself and your achievements
  • Getting online to check job opportunities and doing your research
  • Being prepared for the unexpected
  • Acting like a winner

Angela Coyle, Marketing Director for Kelly Services, said, "There are plenty of opportunities out there. Employers are looking for people with enthusiasm, commitment and talent so if you’re in a job that doesn’t inspire then you should do something about it. Being prepared is key. Job hunters prepared to put in the effort by doing their homework and getting a good CV together will have the pick of the jobs and more often than not they can also improved their pay packet."

Angela continued, "A new City and Guilds report predicts that by 2025 the average UK worker will have had around 19 jobs in his or her lifetime. So it will certainly pay to make sure you know what you are doing when it comes to job hunting!"

If you want to get out of your rut and do something about your career why not pop along to your local Kelly branch and collect a copy of the ‘Guide to Job Hunting’ and while you’re there check out the latest temporary or permanent job opportunities in the area.
