Are you looking for a new role but not quite sure what you want to do? There are some things you can do to help you figure out what your next opportunity looks like: 1.

Research and explore Do some background reading into different industries and job roles. Attending networking events and chatting with people in the current sector may also be a good idea. 3. Consider further education Whether you want to stay within your industry or change careers, taking courses and attending workshops to expand your knowledge can be worthwhile.
