BANISH BLUE MONDAY FOREVER!
This time of year can be difficult due to the combination of bad weather, Christmas debt, the end of the holiday season and unrealistic resolutions. It is therefore not surprising that Monday 21st January has been declared as the unhappiest day of the year[1]. Returning to a job you hate can make January even worse and just adds to the misery. Experts at the specialist recruitment consultancy Hays Construction & Property are adamant that this need not be the case – many of the biggest employers across the region are on the look out for talent.
Across the construction industry, work flow rapidly picked up again after the Christmas break and Hays Construction & Property is currently recruiting for hundreds of positions – those with experience and a strong track record are particularly in demand. Surveyors, engineers, tradesmen and labourers are all highly sought after due to several local projects.
Mark Stratton, office manager at Hays Construction & Property, comments: “Many people dread going back to work after Christmas, but sufficient time has now passed to know whether it is time to start thinking seriously about finding a new job. There is so much work across the region that employers are crying out for good staff. Our specialist consultants can provide advice on the local market, possible career paths and CV and interview tips so that you are best placed to get a new job and banish that Monday morning feeling forever!”
