Professional growth may also be on your mind if you\u2019re planning to look for a new job.\r\n\r\nIt's been a difficult recruitment market for the last couple of years, with the number of jobs declining and competition increasing. But for recruiters that are hiring, January job hunting season is busy, as budgets are renewed and organisations plan their teams for the year ahead. So if you\u2019re hoping to take the next step in your career this year, it\u2019s time to set yourself up for success.

These will help you to stay on track and to hold yourself accountable for your job search.\r\n\r\nThese goals should be achievable\u2014for example, you could aim to apply for at least four jobs a week. Setting and fulfilling smaller tasks like this means the job search will feel far less intimidating. It\u2019s easier to accomplish larger goals by breaking them down into step-by-step actions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"2.

For example, your long-term plan may be to become a community outreach coordinator, but in order to climb the ladder, you may have to start as an outreach advocate or by taking on a relevant internship.\r\n\r\nBy reflecting on what you want to achieve in the long term like this, you can shape your job search and determine which roles you should be applying for this year. Create an actionable plan and be sure to stick to it. It\u2019s a good idea to use the SMART method\u2014i.e. ensure that goals are <strong>S<\/strong>pecific, <strong>M<\/strong>easurable, <strong>A<\/strong>chievable, <strong>R<\/strong>elevant and <strong>T<\/strong>ime-based."},{"acf_fc_layout":"single_image","menu_title":"","image":14661,"image_link":"","image_link_new_tab":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"3.

Be sure to add any new skills you\u2019ve gained, any recent achievements and any additional experience or voluntary work.
