What is different about looking for jobs today in West Sussex compared to 10 years ago

What is different about looking for jobs today in West Sussex compared to 10 years ago

This information page deals with the ever changing job marketplace and is designed to help people that are seeking out jobs today and also for people who are looking to possibly make a career change in the not too distant future.



As anyone who watched the recruitment market will no doubt have noticed, jobs today are somewhat more likely to be on a contract or temporary basis. Of course this can be somewhat off-putting to anyone who has mostly been employed on a permanent basis before, however in actual fact this is nothing to be afraid of.


Jobs aren’t always for life anymore



Jobs today unfortunately just aren’t usually ‘for life’ anymore and thus even if you’re employed on a permanent basis there is no 100 percent guarantee that your job will be permanent.


We suggest that a great way to look at jobs today is that even if the contract type being offered by the employer isn’t exactly what you would have wanted in an ideal world – is to consider a temporary or contract position to be a great opportunity to ‘get your foot in the door’ and also to ‘check out’ the employer to see how much you enjoy working there before you decide to stay with that company for a long time to them.


West Sussex has some great opportunities



We very much hope that by regularly visiting AllWestSussexJobs we can help you to find the very best jobs today, West Sussex has some great opportunities to be found and AllWestSussexJobs wish you the very best of luck with your job hunting.
