Labor Day officially marks the end of summer for many people.

Beyond queuing in the Fall foliage and home décor – it can also usher in the season for you to begin a new job you LOVE!

So, if you’re in the middle of a career search or considering one …

Take these next few hours as you wind down the holiday weekend and follow the steps below to get started on your accelerating your career transition:

– 🤔💭 Reflect on the career you truly want. If you’re still debating on what your next role should be, you should take time and reflect on what is important to you and your future. Nothing is impossible – this is true for landing the job and getting the money you deserve.

– 👨🏽‍💻👩🏽‍💻 Set aside a specific time to update your LinkedIn profile and resume. Labor Day weekend may have been jam-packed with parties, your family, and other tasks. So, devote a few hours this week to give your undivided attention to updating your LinkedIn profile and resume. If you need help, we’ve got you covered.

– 📲🤝🏽 Connect with your network. Take heart if you attended a few cookouts this weekend and missed the opportunity to let your friends and family know that you’re job searching. Networking nowadays can be done with the click of a button. (Remember this: Almost 80 percent of all jobs that get filled per year go to a “known candidate.”)

Looking forward,
