Think about 2010 career changes now
3 December 2009
THOSE looking for a change in career or job next year, need to begin their search now says one local recruitment firm.
As we enter into the home straight for 2009, Angela Ferguson, senior consultant at OSA Recruitment is encouraging those who are considering a move to begin planning now.
“Even if you’re not thinking of moving until next Spring, now is the time to begin preparations. As is the way with Christmas, early planning is key and this method of thinking needs to be applied for those seeking new employment.
At the end of September Social Security reported a surprising fall in unemployment and figures for Guernsey have also been mirrored in the UK. The Office of National Statistic’s employment statistics for the third quarter showed an increase in employment over the last three months with the fall in the number of vacancies beginning to stabilise.
“The results are encouraging and whilst we cannot speculate over current trends we are seeing a definite increase in vacancies coming through” said Mrs Ferguson.
With the number of vacancies increasing and positions available now with OSA Recruitment in key areas such as trust, compliance and company secretarial, the firm is concerned that candidates don’t miss out by waiting until the New Year to get the wheels in motion for a move.
“As a result of difficult market conditions we are increasingly mindful that the recruitment process is taking longer and we are keen to ensure that candidates thinking about job changes in February and March are aware of this.”
