Composing a CV can be a daunting prospect for even the most experienced of job hunters, but if you have little or no work history it can fill you with even more dread. However don’t let the lack of work experience put you off applying for a role; after all you can make the most of other factors; such as your skills, potential and your drive and passion.

The jobs market has changed; many employees no longer choose to stick with one company, yet alone in the same sector for their whole career. However, it can still be a very scary prospect to land a job outside your current field. People decide to change their career for a number of different reasons; including seeking a new challenge or because their current employer is downsizing.

As part of the selection process, it’s becoming more and more common for companies to ask candidates to attend an assessment centre. The prospect of an assessment day can leave you in a bit of a spin; as you will be meeting lots of new people, taking part in some challenging tasks, while also trying to showcase your best attributes to a potential employer.

Eat less, exercise more, kick bad habits; although a lot of resolutions focus on improving our health and wellbeing, a new year can be the ideal time to fine-tune our career. The start of another year is the perfect motivator for making a fresh start and having a more proactive attitude to achieving your objectives in the workplace.

More and more companies are turning to Twitter to source new candidates for roles and it has lots to offer candidates too. For instance, Twitter can be an effective tool for your job search for a number of reasons; it can guide you to new jobs leads, connect you with industry professionals and help to conduct vital pre-interview research about a company.
