Abracadabra!
Sell yourself
The best magic tricks go with a big flash and a puff of theatrical smoke! So make sure your CV is bang up to date and sparkling. A well maintained profile, bursting with endorsements, means your chances of being recruited are already off to a flying start. Be sure to highlight what you’re really, really good at. Your CV should make it obvious why a company needs to hire you.
Keep it clean
If your online persona could be regarded as slightly, erm, challenging – is that really you with your head stuck in a bin? – it could dent your chances of enjoying promotion to a Project Manager role. So to land the top jobs in IT, make sure your public profile won’t disappear your chances quicker than a Houdini vanishing act.
Branch out
Just because you’ve practised hard and learned card tricks for years doesn’t mean you can’t suddenly swap to conjuring rabbits out a hat. In the ever-changing world of IT there are always opportunities to transfer your knowledge and skills into brand new sectors, such as financial services or even hospitality.
Stay up to speed
Technology and software development can move faster than a Pac-Man on steroids. Stay still too long and you’ll be left behind wondering why no-one speaks pascal anymore, so make sure you’re continually upskilling.
Be bold
Some folks will do anything to avoid a fuss. Fair play. It works for them and sometimes they even get to the top by quietly working through the ranks in the same company for years. But this isn’t you: you’re a unicorn with magical powers! You’re always prepared for the next move – using s1jobs to secure a career that just keeps on getting better.
