Summer is often seen as a time to slow down, when work and business are put on hold and the holidays begin.
But if you’re looking for a new job, growing a business or thinking about your next career move, August can actually be one of the best times to get ahead.
Using these quieter weeks to search for jobs, update your CV and LinkedIn profile, prepare for interviews or refine your business plans can put you in a much stronger position when activity picks up again in September.
Employers are still recruiting and businesses are continuing to grow. That’s why Work Avenue’s free one-to-one employment and business support continues throughout August, making now the perfect time to book an appointment.
Whether you’re looking for personalised career advice, help with your CV and job applications, interview preparation, support with changing careers, or guidance on starting or growing a business, our experienced advisers are here to help.
You can also search hundreds of current vacancies through our live Jobs Board, with both full-time and part-time opportunities across a wide range of sectors and levels of experience.
So rather than waiting until the autumn to start thinking about your future, why not use this month to take that next step?
Then, when September arrives, you’ll be ready to build on that progress with the return of our popular programme of workshops and events, including CV Live, Applying for Jobs with Support, Transferable Skills, Interview Skills, Building a Business: Getting Started, and LinkedIn for Business.
To book a free one-to-one appointment with one of our employment or business advisers, simply complete the appointment request form and we’ll be in touch.
