There is nothing like a new year to make you feel refreshed and ready to renew your life!

All of us make a variety of resolutions through out the year, things we are going to do better, or change about ourselves, but nothing is as well publicised as the New Year Resolutions!

Whether you keep them only for one day, we all do it! Make those resolutions and plan for the coming year.

Sometimes having that break from routine over the festive season, gives us time to reflect on our lives and the changes we want to make. During this time our resolve may be stronger we are often more motivated and keen to pursue new paths.

It is during the early weeks of the year that many people reassess their careers and think about where they want to head for the coming year. Sometimes candidates reflect that they are not happy in their current role and begin to take steps to reshape their career. This can be around longer-term learning, short courses or career coaching to understand what is needed to shift careers.

Many parents begin to think about returning to the workforce in the coming year. You may have decided that 2017 is your year to re-enter the world of work.

Time to dust off that old resume, and start looking for opportunities.

The start of the year is always a busy time for us at CIRCLE Recruitment & HR Blog as we run our Recreate Your Career Workshops to assist people looking for work.

Being recruiters, we know first hand what employers are looking for and assist our candidates to tailor their applications, understand how to read job adverts and know what is really being assessed.

We cover resumes, cover letters and interview skills. All in a relaxed half day in our head office in Miranda and with small groups of no more than four attendees. If your fresh start includes working this year in a new job, give us a call to find out the next available workshop and let us help you with your 2017 fresh start! 1300 923 000
