Out with the old...In with the new!

For many, the New Year offers a clean slate and the chance to begin a new adventure. Is finding a new job your New Year's resolution?

If you're looking to leap into new job territory in 2023, here are 3 tips to help you land a great opportunity:

Start now. Economic uncertainty may slow hiring soon. The job market remains strong, but no one knows how long that will last. If you're planning on making a job change, don't delay. You don't want the best opportunities to dry up! Start researching desirable companies and roles while your options remain strong.

Define your career goals. Before you make a change, identify what you would like to achieve in a new role. Higher pay? More flexibility? Better benefits? The chance to learn new skills? Once you know what you're seeking in a new position, it will be easier to search for opportunities.

Optimize your resume. Of course you'll update your resume with relevant education and experience, but you should also consider customizing your approach to each job. Many companies use applicant tracking system software to scan for keywords in resumes and applications. That means a computer will read your resume before it ever makes it to human eyes! When applying for a job, scan the job posting for keywords relevant to the role's duties and responsibilities. Then customize your resume by working those keywords into your resume to make it clear you have the necessary qualifications.
