Release Body: Even when work is just a means to an end to pay
the bills, it’s important to enjoy as much of it as possible
as it’s where most of us spend the bulk of our waking hours.
Most
people feel they are in the wrong role, underpaid and undervalued
at some stage in the week but the hardest thing of all is knowing
what might make things better.
Sadly,
the laugh a minute job doesn’t exist for most people, and
the scope to be a racing driver or a supermodel is severely limited.
But no-one should routinely dread getting up in the morning on
weekdays, and if they do, they are probably in dire need of a
change.
The
secret to getting the most out of your job is knowing what’s important
to you, according to the experts at leading recruitment agency, Search
Consultancy. For some this might mean freedom, and for
others it might be routine. Some like personal challenge and some
thrive on teamwork.
Sadly,
many people are reluctant to leave the devil they know to explore
what else might be open to them. But the consultants at Search
argue that a good recruitment consultant can help you identify
your options and what it would take to make the change.
Sarah
McParland, Director with Search said, “A good
recruitment consultant is not in the business of putting round
pegs into square holes and will spend time with candidates exploring
their strengths, skills and ambitions before putting them forward
for a role.
“Just
as importantly, they will have taken a clear brief from their
client about the job on offer and what sort of person would do
well there. This takes into account the culture of the organisation
and the make-up of the team in which the candidate would be assigned.
“There’s
no point in putting a quiet, methodical character into a lively,
unstructured environment if that would make them unhappy. And
that holds true whether they have the technical skills for the
job or not.
“At
Search, we don’t just look for a match of paper qualifications,
we look for the best fit available between the candidate and client.”
To
achieve this, Search offers one to one interviews
to prospective clients at all levels. They can also use psychometric
or other testing methods to assess candidate suitability, always
with the aim of finding a good match.
A
good recruitment consultant helps individuals to be realistic
about their options and will advise on any skills gaps which the
candidate might need to work on to achieve their goal. There’s
no point in just wishing for the moon and it can be a revelation
to some people just how easy it is to make a change which suits
their current circumstances much better than staying in the same
old rut.
McParland
adds, “It’s not unusual for people to investigate
their options and decide that all they need is a change of firm
or culture to give them back their drive. Sometimes, a different
boss or change of hours and conditions is all that’s required.
At other times, a radical revamp of lifestyle and goals is in
order. No two people are the same”.
