There may be many reasons why you are looking for a different position or to work at a new company. While it can feel overwhelming initially, there are steps you can take to ensure a smooth transition and experience for yourself. 
​

You need to be focused on the right actions and areas and be committed to persevering even when you are turned down for a role along the way. Here we’ll cover what to do when you’re looking for a new job so you can succeed and find a good fit for yourself.
Network
When you’re looking for a new job you should take the time to build your network and make connections with others. Nurture these relationships and reach out and let people know that you’re looking. There may be individuals who you meet that can help you out and give you options and advice. They may also know about opportunities you’d be interested in that aren’t necessarily posted online. 

Update Your Resume
Another step you should take when you’re looking for a new job is to update your resume. You want to be ready to go if a position pops up that is suitable for you and you want to apply for it. There are plenty of resources and services online to help you with resume writing and ensuring your resume stands apart from the rest and you get noticed. Read it through to make sure there are no mistakes or errors and that you have included the necessary details that will assist you in selling your abilities and talents. 

Research Your Options
You also want to get a better idea of what’s out there and available based on your background, education, and skills. Therefore, take the time to do some research before you dive in and start applying for new jobs. There may be a different career path to consider that you hadn’t thought of previously or other roles that you find you’re passionate about once you read over the specific job description. 

Boost Your Skills & Gain Knowledge
Gaining more knowledge and skills could help you to access other jobs. This could include anything from a college degree to learning skills at home through tutorials. Having a college degree can provide more credibility. That said, it’s important to do a college search and choose the right course. There are many other ways to develop skills including non-college short courses, apprenticeships and training schemes. ​

Consider Volunteering
​
You may have a lot of free time on your hands when you’re looking for a new job if you’re not currently employed. One of the best ways to fill your time and days is to consider volunteering for a related organization or a business that’s in the industry that you want to work in. There may be opportunities to get hired where you are volunteering or you can put this experience on your resume so that potential employers see it and know that you’ve been working hard in the midst of your job search. ​
