Careers Services

If you are looking for a new job or career it is essential to have easy access to the latest career opportunities. Whatever your career aspirations may be, there is a growing need for people of all ages to be able to change direction, update skills and gain new knowledge.

If you are serious about achieving your ambitions you need to set yourself targets and start on them straight away. Make a list of immediate challenges / blocks which could stand in your way and look at ways you can overcome them. What development skills, training, qualifications, experience or further information do you require? For example you might not be very confident when dealing with colleagues, allowing yourself to be easily undermined, so you could look at ways of improving your communication skills.

Most people say that they need to increase their confidence before they can hope to find another job but it actually works the other way around. Confidence comes from competence – if you are able to do something well, you’re confident about it. To do something well you’ve got to practice and that’s how you’ll build confidence.

Ask for support. Seek other people’s views about your strengths and weaknesses but choose people who will encourage you to reach your goals. Seek help that is available locally to help you achieve your ambition and you will soon find that your confidence as well as your competence increases…making you a more attractive candidate to potential employers.
