Know what you want from your career
“Before you jump into the job market, take time to reflect on what you truly want from your career,” Bethany begins.
"Research from Generation Logistics reveals that 69 per cent of job seekers prioritise work-life balance when selecting their dream role, while 66 per cent seek competitive pay.
“Establishing your priorities - whether that is flexibility, growth opportunities or company culture - will help you to focus your search and find a role that fits with your values and lifestyle.
“This may include taking a look at a different career path that is better suited to you than one you may already be established in. For example, logistics is a sector that 90% of people have never considered as a career choice2 yet it offers flexibility as well as excellent opportunities for career growth.
Tailor your CV for maximum impact
“When it comes to your CV, being clear and concise will have the strongest impact. Avoid clichés like “hard-working”,”team player” and “go-getter” as they add little value. Instead use active verbs like “led”, “achieved” or “delivered” to highlight your achievements.
