Most people use the festive break as an opportunity to regroup and refocus on what they really want before putting 100 per cent into finding a job in the New Year.
During December, the number of managers and executives appointed into work was slow across most sectors. However, there was certainly still some activity, reflecting the upward swing in the job market highlighted in November’s Management Moves report.
This month’s report shows that there were still certain sectors that made some significant hires:
During December, the number of managers and executives appointed into work was slow across most sectors. However, there was certainly still some activity, reflecting the upward swing in the job market highlighted in November’s Management Moves report.
This month’s report shows that there were still certain sectors that made some significant hires:
The most notable number of movements during December was in the Public Sector, which overtook Support Services to reclaim the top spot (a position it held last in July 2009). There was a lot of activity (appointments, promotions and departures) within local councils and the police force, while The Federation of Small Businesses made five hires.
If you’re interested in pursuing an executive or managerial position in the Public Sector in 2010, you should be aware that there will be fewer jobs out there due to public finance cuts. Research companies and actively pursue those with higher budgets; they are more likely to have something for you.
The majority of the other sectors show no net growth, with an even ratio of the number of appointments to the number of departures. In fact, Leisure, Hotels and Restaurants made exactly 30 appointments and 30 departures. Christmas time has traditionally yielded a high turnover of staff in catering and hospitality, so this is fairly unsurprising.
