The current context presents all the winning conditions to finally get the promotion you've been dreaming of to really propel your career. Indeed, today, it is essential to have a career that we are passionate about, in order to make the most of our professional ambitions. To do this, here are some things to think about that should not be underestimated.
Take advantage of the labour shortage
With the labour shortage increasing year after year and the high demand for qualified personnel, salaries have actually increased over the last few months. Also, the working conditions offered by employers are increasingly advantageous and reflect a real interest in employee advancement. Some employers offer unusual working environments and flexible working hours, which may be of more interest to you. Many companies also offer paid training for more technical positions. In short, it's a good way to make yourself essential and protect your position for many years to come while earning a better salary.
Back to the roots
For many of us, our last few jobs were a combination of circumstances that have brought us to this point. Now, in the context of almost unlimited demand for staff, there is no longer any need to compromise, you can actually do what you wanted to do in the first place. For others, their current job is synonymous with abandoned training, untimely relocation or other life hazards. In any case, it is possible to position yourself better in the current context. To do this, you really need to plan your next step carefully.
Plan your next year
For many, the pandemic has been a time of deep reflection. What is the balance you envision or what lifestyle do you aspire to? Questions that present different scenarios, here are some of them.
- After 4 years as an accountant, I am looking for a better salary. To do this, subscribe to job sites such as Specialized Jobs to receive offers according to your salary ambitions.
- I am not qualified enough. It doesn't matter, just show who you are and why you are so keen on this new job. Many companies offer tailor-made training and already recognise so-called atypical profiles. In short, go for it.
- I didn't finish my training because of my difficult pregnancy. That's okay, many companies offer work-study balance, a good way to boost your career.
- I like my job, but I have no opportunity for advancement. A perfect example of starting to research and improve your position. Working in a company with strong growth might be the right thing to do. As a result, we often increase our salary.
I mean, you could have tons of examples, but the important thing is to take the first steps and register on job boards. The worst thing you can do is to continue a job you are not really committed to. As they say, life is short, make the most of it with a rewarding career.
