« 2011: The Year of the Job |Main| The Monster 5 for Friday--Careers Edition--January 7 »January 06, 2011Looking for a Job While You're Employed
I've been calling 2011 "The Year of the Job," after some recent polls uncovered information about people's outlook on the coming year. More people are feeling hopeful about their employment situation, and more people are recommitting to their careers. And a whopping 84 percent of people who are currently employed say they are interested in pursuing opportunities with a new employer (according to a Manpower survey).
In 2011, it seems, fewer people will be willing to settle for jobs in which they aren't challenged, aren't satisfied, or aren't well compensated.
Along with a great panel of experts, I'll be discussing this trend on this weekend's edition of CNN's "Your Bottom Line." Check it out, and check out the slide show below for a few tips on looking for work while employed:

CommentsOn the flip side there's the economic downturn and the austerity measures of the UK government - see http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/23/northern-england-government-spending-cuts.
Everyone needs to be prepared by writing an up-to-date CV - its worth trying to get an interview even if its only for the practice. It's amazing how many people have been in employment for 5 years and more and expect to choose when they leave their current job. Most people only have interviews a dozen times or so in their lives so its always worth getting some practice !!
Whether we want a better job or not we need to make sure we're ready so even if 2011 is the year of the job it may be the year of those who are unprepared, without a CV or any idea of how to search for a job, especially when government cuts hit.
