Summer is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and realign your career goals. With half the year behind us, now is a natural point to check in on your career goals and take intentional steps toward the future you want.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, ready for a change, or simply want to re-energize your job search, here are a few tips to help you refresh your approach this summer:
1. Revisit Your Career Goals
Have your goals shifted since January? That’s okay—careers evolve. Take time to reflect on what success means to you now. Is it a new challenge, better work-life balance, or a role that aligns more with your values?
2. Update Your Resume and LinkedIn
Treat your resume like a living document. Add new accomplishments, certifications, and responsibilities. Your LinkedIn profile should mirror your current professional story—don’t let it gather dust!
3. Reconnect with Your Network
Summer is a great time to reach out for a casual coffee chat or LinkedIn message. Reconnecting with colleagues and mentors can spark new opportunities and offer valuable insight.
4. Pick Up a Temp Role for Flexibility and Extra Income
Need short-term work or saving up for school in September? A temporary job can be a great way to earn income, build experience, and stay engaged without a long-term commitment. Our temp roles offer flexibility while keeping your career momentum going.
5. Consider Upskilling Before Fall
Thinking about heading back to school? Now’s the time to explore short courses or certifications that can boost your knowledge, expand your skill set, or keep you current with industry best practices.
6. Tap Into Seasonal Hiring Trends
Contrary to popular belief, summer is not a hiring dead zone. Many companies are planning for fall growth and looking to onboard before September. If you’re ready to make a move, don’t wait.
7. Work with a Recruiter Who Gets You
A supportive recruiter can help you see opportunities you didn’t know existed. At Arlyn Recruiting, we take the time to understand your skills, goals, and ambitions—because your success is our success!
