How To Keep Up In Our Job-Jumping Society

The average person will change jobs ten to fifteen times, according to the Balance, a source of personal finance and career information. As 87 percent of workers within the age of 25 to 29 have an average length of employment of fewer than five years and a similar percentage for those within the ages of 30 to 34, workers need to be constantly ready to pick up new opportunities.

The following three methods give job searchers, or better labelled as job jumpers, the right type of help to find a suitable career.

Qubed – Finding the right career

Everyone has some sort of passion in life and working within this field might just be the solution to finding the right job for them. However, completing university and receiving a degree is not always the right path for an individual’s most suitable career.

Qubed connects millennials with the right career options most suited to their passions and personal talents partnering with some of the world’s leading schools, brands, non-profits and employers.

They currently offer programs for fashion industry and sport industry essentials and provide an online certificate for the completion of the program. Each program offers carefully considered assignments to help students develop skills and gain insights into their prefered industry to determine whether it truly aligns with their passions. They are able to build a portfolio and prepare for job interviews and transition into the career of their dreams.

VisualCV – Resume Creation

First impressions are important and before getting a foot through the door, an employee will be judged on their application or CV. A resume should be well designed, succinct and show the employer exactly why they’re the best fit.

VisualCV is a resume creating platform accommodating to workers frequently changing jobs and rearranging their CV.  

Through this platform users can choose from a variety of industry-approved templates and easily create multiple profile versions of their resume. This can be access from a mobile phone, which while might be relatively small for documental changes, offers an easy on-the-go method to update a resume. Users can then track their results through the platform to learn when their resume is viewed or downloaded.
