1. Deciding what you want

People move about jobs for a number of reasons.

  • Are you fed up with current job situation?
  • Do you feel that have achieved as much as you can in your current job?
  • Are you being career focused
  • Having a need to move on and progress further?
  • Can you obtain more money by moving externally to another company?


Whatever your reason you will need to plan your move ! When deciding the job that you want and the company you would like to work for you will need to consider:

  1. The money on offer - what's financial effect on you of accepting an offer - use the jobit.com salary calculator to find out.

  3. Working Environment - What are the working conditions like? Is it somewhere you feel comfortable and can fit into ? Is the company culture a place for you?
  4. Additional Benefits - How many holiday days will you receive? Pension Scheme? Private Medical Insurance? share options and any other benefits ?
  5. Training - what is available? will this improve the skills you are looking for? Will it improve future career progress.
