National Career Development Month
November is National Career Development Month, a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to kick-start or advance their career. Whether you’re a student exploring future career paths or a professional seeking a change, this month is all about growth and development.
At Leapfrog Recruitment Consultants, we are here to support job seekers at every stage of their journey. Finding that first role can seem daunting for students and recent graduates, but we’re committed to helping you navigate the job market. We offer a wide range of entry-level positions with opportunities for training and development to help you build the skills you need. Fiona Wright, our Associate Director, emphasises that “career paths often develop by chance. Not everyone knows exactly what career they want, and paths can change along the way. Sometimes, a job can lead to a career without you even realising it. That happened to me—twice! When you enjoy a job, it can naturally evolve into your career. There’s often too much pressure on school leavers to choose a specific path.”
For those considering a career change, National Career Development Month is a great reminder that it’s never too late to pivot. We understand that switching fields can feel overwhelming, but our experienced recruitment consultants can guide you through the process, helping you find roles that align with your current skills while offering you the chance to grow in new directions.
Fiona Wright, our Associate Director, emphasises the importance of personal development in any role: “Having opportunities for growth within a job is essential. It not only gives individuals the motivation and drive to succeed, but also allows them to stay engaged and committed to their career path.” At Leapfrog Recruitment Consultants, we focus on finding roles that match your current skills and offer room for you to develop and achieve your goals.
Here are some useful career development tips:
Set Clear Goals: Take time to identify where you want your career to go. Setting short-term and long-term goals helps guide your development and gives you a clear path to follow.
Continuous Learning: Whether through formal education or online courses, expanding your skills is crucial. Stay updated with industry trends and new technologies that can set you apart.
Networking: Building a network of industry contacts can open doors to new opportunities. Attend events, connect on LinkedIn, or join relevant professional groups.
Seek Feedback: Regular feedback from colleagues, managers, or mentors can help identify areas for improvement and development.
