It has been two years since Covid changed the workplace dynamics in massive layoffs and remote work. We went through the Great Resignation in 2021 when many people simply quit their jobs for one reason or another. Many factors attributed to this from fear of Covid to the need to provide child care.
I have experienced a demand for resume and LinkedIn reviews during the last two months that has been an all-time high. People are not only looking to find a job during their career transition, but many are looking for new opportunities after working at the same place for many years. It looks like this is the year to make that change.
A recent Top Resume article shows the best times of the year to apply. It indicates that January and February are the best months followed by March, April, and May. My advice is to update that resume and start applying earnestly to your targeted companies. Utilize one of the many resume scanning websites to ensure your resume closely matches the job description.
