The perfect time to leverage the “Winter Arc” is NOW. It is a concept popularized on TikTok that encourages using the dark, cold days of winter to refocus on your career goals and personal development.

Don’t wait for Jan 1st anymore, and start leveling up your career and yourself now.

What you can focus now glowing-up your career before the year ends:

Make Your Resume Glow & Land Interviews

The first step in your Winter Arc is to polish your resume until it shines.

Focus on:

  • Highlighting your key achievements and skills that align with your desired roles.

  • Tailoring your resume for specific jobs by using relevant keywords.
    Always check Job Descriptions.

  • Using transferable skills in your resume from the previous roles.

An impressive resume can make a significant difference in landing interviews, so take the time to refine it. If you need my help in making your resume an interview magnet - let’s talk.

LinkedIn Profile Revamp - Optimize It for Job Search

Your LinkedIn profile is often your first impression on potential employers. Use this time to revamp it:

  • Update your headline and summary to reflect your current career goals and skills. Use the keywords all across your profile.

  • Add relevant skills and endorsements from colleagues to add more credibility for your profile.

  • Ask for 3-4 recommendations from your current & past colleagues.

Optimizing your LinkedIn profile will significantly enhance your job search efforts.
I know about LinkedIn a lot, and my forte is to give your profile the recommendations that will attract recruiters into your DMs. Yes, it’s real. Let’s get your profile a new look. 

Work on One Skill You Want to Learn for the Next 60 Days

Choose one skill that could elevate your career and dedicate the next 60 days to mastering it.

  • Enrol in an online course to gain new knowledge, I love Coursera, LinkedIn Learning.

  • Setting aside regular time each week to practice and apply what you learn.

  • Share & track your progress on LinkedIn. Don’t do it alone.

The end of the year is a fantastic opportunity to reassess and realign your career goals & start acting NOW. You’ve got this!

Great news - we are still in October, imagine how much you can do for yourself and your career before the New Year.
