You’re probably sick of hearing the same old sayings at the beginning of each year - but don’t let the annoyance of these phrases get in the way of fulfilling your ambitions this year.
If you want to make this the best year yet and exceed your work goals, then now really is the best time to push forward with looking for a new job.
January and February are widely seen by career advisors to be the top two months to look for a new job. There are several factors at play as to why this is the case. The first being that teams are typically given their new hiring budgets and sales forecasts for the year around this time. Combined with what was probably a slow December on the hiring front gives a big incentive for hiring managers to hit the ground running in the new year and hire accordingly. In addition, a lot of employees receive their bonus’ in December and January, so a lot of people wait until after this period to change their job. This is typically anticipated by companies and a strong factor why a hiring push is probably needed.
Even though there can often be a slow start to the new year with people still nursing a NYE hangover and the over-indulgence of the festive period, by the second week things are back in full swing and first-round interviews can start happening.
