QuoteThere is no one right way to get a new job, but there are quite a few wrong ones. So first, make sure you consider all your options. Ask yourself where you are and where you think you can get to. And be realistic.

Then spend some time detailing your skills and experience, while also thinking about what makes you want to do the job in the first place. It can be useful to think back to the ‘highs and lows’ of previous roles and the reasons why you experienced them.
