Getting Ready for 2018. Three Ways to Make This Your Best Year for Your Career

The new year is upon us, so it’s time to start figuring out what you’re going to do in the next 12 months to make it the best one yet for your career. Success takes careful planning and hard work, but achieving your goals makes it all worthwhile.

As one of the leading temp agencies in Las Vegas, PrideStaff Las Vegas knows you can’t get to the top unless you’re willing to put in the time and effort. Use these three tips to take your career to new heights in 2018.

Boost Your Resume

The most in-demand jobs receive a lot of interest, so if you want to get noticed, you need to stand out from the crowd. Take an honest look at your resume to see where you’re lacking, because it’s usually the first impression you’ll make on potential employers.

If you find you need to strengthen a few skills or gain a little more experience in certain areas, now is the time to do it. Go back to school, take on a volunteer role or launch a side project that will strengthen your resume and allow you to become a competitive candidate.

Make New Connections

Who you know can get you far in business, so make a point to start networking more in the new year. Join a professional association with a chapter in Las Vegas or use sites like Meetup to find networking groups that hold regular events. You never know who you’ll meet at an event, and it could be someone who can help you find your dream job. Set a minimum number of events you’ll attend per week or month to hold yourself accountable for getting out there.

Partner With a Recruiter

Steering a job search is hard work, so team up with a recruiter. They’ll help you figure out where you’re headed, polish you into a competitive candidate, introduce you to their contacts, assist with interview prep and so much more. The best part is, any recruiter worth your time won’t charge you a dime, as companies are the ones who foot the bill for their services. If you can get career-propelling assistance for free, it doesn’t make sense to pass it up.
