What’s Your Strategic Career Transition Plan?
June 12, 2018
Welcome to the inaugural post of the Tews blog page! If you’ve not heard of Tews – we’re a 20+ year-old recruiting and placement firm based in Orlando Florida specializing in the areas of Finance & Accounting, Information Technology and Administrative/Human Resource placement.
With over 1,000 placements every year, our internal recruiting team has just about seen and heard it all (in fact you probably wouldn’t believe some of the things we’ve seen and heard!) That experience makes us an incredible resource for anyone in career transition or for those passively looking should the next great opportunity suddenly present itself.
It’s often said that career transition or unexpected job loss is one of the Top 3 biggest stressors you’ll face during your lifetime. With the average person changing jobs seven times during their career, it’s highly likely we’ll all face those stressors multiple times. The bright side of any career transition is that those who have planned for it in advance typically end up in a significantly improved career position — that is a “career of feeling” as opposed to just another job. That strategically planned search must begin well in advance of unexpected developments such as downsizing, restructuring or in some cases termination. Employees who keep their skills sharp, and their networks sharper, are then well positioned to take advantage of career transition as opposed to being a victim of unfortunate circumstances.
Over the next twelve months, we’ll explore topics that will help you plan a strategy for future career transition. We’ll take a deep dive into career search topics including: What Should You Expect From Your Recruiter?, How Do I Get Noticed By Employers?, Pros and Cons Of A Counter Offer, E-mail And Phone Etiquette, Proper Interview Preparation and Hiring Manager Follow Up.
We hope these carefully chosen topics will help you begin to think about your personal strategic career plan so you can be ready if and when unexpected career circumstances present themselves.
So thanks again for visiting the Tews blog. We hope you’ll find yourself back here again soon.
