Looking for work over the festive period

As Christmas fast approaches, more and more jobs are becoming available within the retail and hospitality industry. Many businesses are looking for extra staff at this time of year as they cope with the increased demand. With the rise in the cost of living, some businesses are unsure as to how their business will do this year and worry that although here are no longer Covid restrictions, people may simply not be able to afford to go out or to spend as much in the shops.

If you are currently looking for work, then now is the time to brush off your CV (if you haven’t already) and start applying. You may have to apply for a high volume of jobs before you even get considered for an interview as the chances are demand will be high.

You need to ensure that you give yourself the best possible opportunity and that you CV and cover letter is p to date and includes all your relevant skills and experience. Proof reading your CV and double checking that everything is correct can make the difference to you being invited in for an interview and not. You may even decide to get it professionally checked to ensure it is written in the right way.

Take the headache out of job searching

At the present time there are plenty of jobs being advertised but actually landing that job is sometimes difficult. It is essential if you are looking for employment that you apply for as many jobs as possible to give yourself the best chance of getting a job. This will often mean spending time searching every few days and filling in application forms or sending off your CV with a covering letter to as many employers as you can.

Some jobs are more competitive to get into and you will need to ensure that your CV or application form are the best that they can be to compete against other candidates. Making errors on your CV or application form can cost you an interview, so it is important that you get it right.

Experience and qualifications are often the main thing an employer looks for when they make their choice as to who they should invite for an interview. Do not despair if you do not seem as qualified as other applicants because you can still get a good job if you show that you are willing to undertake further training and show other attributes such as creativity and enthusiasm that will be invaluable to the company.

Do you have too many staff?

During lockdown and the pandemic as a whole, many companies struggled but some actually did really well and found that they needed to take on extra members of staff. With the recent worry of the War in Ukraine and the increased cost of living – some of those businesses are now noticing quite a steep drop in business and many still have the extra staff that they took on in 2020 – 2021 to cope with the increase in demand.

As a business owner, often you have to make the hard decision to let some members of staff go but before you do have a think to see if their skills could be utilised in another way. Maybe you do not have a need for them in the current role they are in but could you perhaps have a different role that needs filling that they could step in to. It may be that you need help in other parts of the business or that you have always wanted to explore other avenues within the trade but have not had the resources to do it. If this is the case, then it may be worth changing their role – keeping them employed whilst also helping the business to grow.

Starting a new career

If you find yourself bored at work, counting down the hours until the end of the day or the weekend, then it may be time to consider a new job.

This can sometimes feel scary with many people worrying that maybe they are too old to start a new career or perhaps that they haven’t had an interview for years so worry that they won’t know what to do. But the reality is, it’s never too late to be happy! And taking that plunge may be the best thing you ever did.

First it’s always best to do your research. Consider your current skill set and what you enjoy doing then research the kind of career that fits in with that. You may need to prepare to do additional training or qualifications to start something in a new field too.

There is help out there available for adult career advice so if you are feeling a little lost then that can be a very useful resource. Once you have decided what you’d like to do spend some time updating your CV. You could even have it checked by an external company to give you advise on any useful updates you could make.  Then it’s time to be brave and start applying for your new dream job!
