You've have a good plan which looks ...Georgia,<br /><br />You've have a good plan which looks really good.. Just a few thoughts to add:<br /><br />- As well as getting your CV out with the agencies, I think it is worth identifying your absolute perfect job! If you could have the pick of any job, what would it be? Then.. approach that company directly or ask your network of ways to do that. I think there's a danger on job-hunting that we can all become a bit reticent about going after what we want.<br /><br />- If you've not used it before, I'd really recommend doing the StrengthsFinder test (Tom Rath's book of the same name is less than £9 on Amazon and includes an online assessment of your top 5 strengths). It might help you get even clearer on what you want to do next.<br /><br />-If you have some spare time, it might be worth seeing if you can use the time to do your job free-of-charge for a charity as a way of both doing some good and building another case study.<br /><br />I hope it all goes well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322234233343246477noreply@blogger.com
