The question "when is it better to change jobs" at first glance may seem strange. Say, since the job that you dreamed of, and even well-paid, has already turned up, what is there to think about? You need to grab onto it with your hands and feet until such an attractive vacancy is taken away from under your nose.
Employer's opinion
If this question: "When ..." - ask the employer, he is likely to be surprised. He does not have a headache about such problems. He just knows that he needs an employee, today, or better ... yesterday. However, after a little thought, any employer will still formulate his wishes.
The first will sound something like this: "I would like new employees to soberly assess their strengths." Indeed, the employer may doubt when you say that you are ready to leave even tomorrow, not yet knowing the terms of reference and the list of skills that will be needed in a new job.
But it is worth listening to the second wish even more carefully: "If an employee was in one place yesterday, and today he is already entering a new one, then this will certainly affect the quality of his work." Of course, this is also not always in the power of the applicant, but still it is worth trying to use this recommendation. Moreover, specialists of personnel, recruiting services and psychologists fully agree with this statement.
Expert opinion
According to psychologists and headhunters, the burden of old working relationships, principles, if you like - "ways" adopted on previous work, can significantly complicate the entry of an employee into new team, with other, unusual for him at first requirements. Therefore, to recover from the previous work and at the same time mentally prepare yourself for a new one for at least a week or two is highly desirable.
Out of the frying pan into the fire 
Of course, when switching to a "burning" vacancy, when everything is done on the run, talking about rest is not appropriate. But with a "planned", prearranged exit to a new place - completely. Most often, the widespread method of dismissal "after vacation" is used for this, when the employee spends the last formally working days at his previous job on another vacation, albeit incomplete in duration. Or on time off, if such a system is provided for in this particular organization.
From the point of view of psychologists and recruiters, there is another significant plus of changing jobs during the "holiday" period. In the summer, when the bulk of people leave for a legal two-week vacation, managers in any company face a problem: there is a lot of work, but few people. In this state of affairs, having entered a new place, the employee finds himself in a situation where the entire small team is united in front of a common goal (the required sales volume, the launch of a new project, etc.). And this, from the point of view of psychologists, is just good.
In such an environment, there is no time for intrigue or squabbles. Avral will unite you with the new team, well, and the rest of the workers who will catch up after the holidays will have no choice but to agree with the majority.
Little nothings of life
Of course, you can’t foresee everything, and some problems may arise in a new place. They can appear anytime, anywhere, at the most unexpected moment. That's why you need to be as focused as possible. To do this, psychologists have come up with a few tricks that will help you mobilize all your strength.
1. Go to work "on Monday, the first." In this case, it is, of course, an allegory. Seriously, entering a new workplace, combined with some important date for you or just a calendar boundary, can significantly add to your composure. For example: from the new year, from the first of September (the children go to school, and you go to work), finally - from the birthday, wedding anniversary, or simply from the first of March (April, May, June ...).
2. Change jobs (and in general go to any cardinal changes in your life) stands at the time or period of the year that is most comfortable for you emotionally. By the way, spring is by no means such an "easy" period for everyone. For many, this is the hardest time of restructuring the body to a new regime, when it is easy to oversleep not only work, but the whole life.
3. By the way, here's another "trick" for you: if you are a night owl, you should not accept a job where the working day starts at 9 am. Take care of yourself and do not force your body.
The rest of the wishes, expressed by psychologists and personnel specialists, mainly relate to the preparation of "everyday": to calm down as much as possible and prepare as much as possible.
Try to solve all the problems at home so that they do not distract from the first days at work. If this is not possible, leave all your worries for some later date, but for now, focus only on work.
That, in fact, is all. It is unlikely that you learned a lot of new things from this article, but we tried to structure the advice of experts as much as possible in order to once again draw your attention to them. Although the main thing, of course, is to find a job. Favorite and highly paid. May you be lucky!
Astrologer's adviceOur life can be called good if it contains love, friendship, good health, spiritual development and work that brings satisfaction and earthly goods.
We are born with a specific horoscope at the time of birth, which outlines our abilities, inclinations, needs and opportunities to achieve goals. Knowing what our strengths and weak sides, knowing how we can realize ourselves, where the best way we can show our abilities and talents, we can build our happiness.
When choosing a job, we most often focus on our environment, while not necessarily following in the footsteps of our parents, but most of us still remain within a certain area. Since we are born into certain time, in a particular place, family, then this forms our personality and our capabilities. Although in our time we have more of them than before.
In order for us to love our work, three conditions are necessary: 1) we must be suitable for it, 2) we must do it a lot, and 3) we must have a sense of success.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime" - so says the Chinese proverb.
Consider five effective methods looking for jobs that astrology has to offer.
1. Contact the organization you would like to work for directly, and always in person. This must be done at 11-12 noon.
2. Ask your friends for help. The more applicants for the desired position, the more preferable it is to enlist the support of someone already working in this organization. If they put in a good word for you, then you will have an additional chance. In this case, your arrival should be by the beginning of the working day at 9-10 am. Perhaps you will immediately put on the job.
3. Ask for help from relatives. If your relatives work where you would like to work, then come to get a job at lunchtime or immediately after it. Bring some food to the table. Your conversation will take place in a pleasant discussion of various options and job offers.
4. Use an employment service. Go there after dinner, and if you have been given the address of the proposed place, immediately go to the address. When interviewing, do not forget to ask about the scope of work and salary. Be vigilant, otherwise you may fall into a trap. Don't sign anything right away.
5. If the new job and the job don't work at all, you need to do a self-assessment. To understand the situation, you need to listen to the recommendations of astrology.

I hope that these tips can help you in some way in our difficult time. I wish you success!
I am often asked: what is the most right time for job search: summer or winter, before holidays or vacation time. I have one answer: best time is today. It doesn’t matter what the weather is outside the window, what day is on the calendar, if you are interested in a new job, start your search on any day of the week and month.
Some candidates are sure that looking for a job before the new year, for example, is not worth it. This is not a completely correct setting. I agree that at this time most HR managers are busy preparing corporate events, but I assure you, if the company has an urgent vacancy, then a competent specialist will find time to conduct interviews and find the right employee.
Often, it is New Year's Eve or vacation time that becomes that magical moment when candidates manage to find a worthy job offer. The thing is that many people are relaxed at this time, someone goes on vacation, someone deals with family matters, and companies need employees at this particular time. If you devote part of your time during these periods to looking for a job, then you may hear the desired offer much earlier than planned.
In addition, many valuable employees and they are potential candidates do not quit with previous place work, expecting an annual bonus. Statistics show that just before the new year, the number of job offers increases, and the number of applicants, i.e. candidates are declining. Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
Take action. Moreover, vacancies posted on recruitment sites are not removed for holidays, which means that after returning, managers will continue to search for staff. You never know at what point a company recruiter will return from vacation and continue his work. Therefore, do not hesitate to send out your resume even on holidays.
The only thing you don’t need to do on long holidays, when the whole country is resting, is to call the manager on his mobile. Believe me, if I have an urgent vacancy, and I have to work on weekends, then I will call the candidates myself. But if there is no great urgency or there is a clear understanding that none of the management plans to meet with applicants on the weekend, let me rest with everyone.
AT summer period When the holiday season begins, the situation on the labor market takes approximately the same form as on new year holidays. There are many vacancies, and applicants leave for summer vacations or take their children. Another great chance to quickly find a job. Those lucky ones who stayed in the city and are actively looking for work can very quickly find a worthy offer.
Regardless of the above, if looking for work is relevant to you, continue to do this on any other day. You cannot know in advance at what point and from where that very cherished offer of an ideal job will fall on you.
No wonder they say: there are many corners and salvation behind each of them.
It is more correct to look for a new place during periods of seasonal bursts of activity in the labor market. When do they happen?
The first seasonal peak of job change falls on February - April. During this period, people have already received all the required bonuses and bonuses for last year. They are no longer kept in the service of remuneration for past merits, therefore, in the first quarter of the calendar year, recruitment agencies receive great amount summary.
Migration covers bank employees and lawyers in late March - early April, since they receive bonuses in January-February. In spring, there is a great demand for people working in the service sector - in hotels, restaurants.
The summer period is traditionally considered by many people as the off season, but this is not entirely true. June and July are the peak months for finding entry-level positions. Many graduates immediately after graduation start looking for their first job. If a student worked while studying, then after graduation he expects to be promoted. Not having received it, he just goes in the summer to search.
June and the first half of July can be called a dead period, but only for top managers and middle or senior managers. In most companies, June-July is the holiday season, and those who make decisions on personnel matters can rest. There is another factor: workers in high positions should receive decent wages, and the budget for next year and plans for the development of the company in the middle of the year are not yet ready. Accordingly, it is difficult to fully understand whether another specialist is needed for an average or high position.
In the middle of summer, with the necessary tactical plans and budget in hand, leaders can decide to expand the staff. At this point, vacancies for applicants begin to appear. From the second half of July and in August it is much easier to get a well-paid job than in the first half of the summer. If you can apply for high positions in a new job, but have not yet parted with the old one, try not to do this in May-June. In the absence of specific offers, you risk becoming unemployed for up to two months. It can hurt further career. When a person settles for new job"from the street", and does not move from one company to another, he loses 20-30% of his salary, he is less appreciated. And the longer you sit without work, the lower your " market price". After two or three months of downtime, you will have to agree to a salary that will be less than the previous one.
Demand and supply in the labor market reach their highest point in the period from September to November inclusive. All managers have returned from holidays, plans for the next year have been approved and coordinated, new jobs have appeared. Yes, and the applicants took a break over the summer, decided on where and how they want to work. Autumn is the high season in the labor market. Low-level and middle-level specialists have a chance to find a job quite quickly at this time.
New Year and May holidays - worst time to change jobs. Everyone will not be up to you and not up to work. Salute, salad and parade are guaranteed to push all other problems out of the head of the employer.
Many people think that autumn is the best time to look for a job. Is it really? Agreed to answer this and other questions about the ups and downs of supply and demand in the labor market CEO consulting agency "Ecopolis" Natalia Zharova.
WHO IS TO BLAME AND WHAT TO DO?
What, in your opinion, are the reasons for fluctuations in supply and demand in the labor market?
- It's usually about the applicants themselves. Many of them are sure that looking for work, for example, in December, January or during the summer months is a waste of work, because firms and companies, in their opinion, rest at this time, and therefore no one recruits.
Isn't it true in reality?
- Of course not. Most businesses operate throughout the year. They send their employees on vacation in turn, for a maximum of two weeks in a row. To have a rest at once by the whole enterprise - this happens extremely rarely. Serious, stable companies don't work like that.
It is impossible to imagine, for example, production stopped for a month because all the employees went on vacation.
So, you can and should look for work throughout the year?
— Yes, the demand for new employees from employers is relatively stable during all twelve months.
AUTUMN "BREAK"
And yet, in September, the number of offers for applicants increased. Does this mean that employers also have periods when they especially need new employees?
- Autumn revival in the labor market is a traditional phenomenon. But according to our estimates, this year the rise is small: both demand and supply have grown by twenty percent.
What kind of vacancies have increased - at new enterprises, or at those that have been working for more than a year? And for which specialists?
- According to my observations, the market for new jobs is stable today. Most of vacancies appear as a result of the rotation of personnel at enterprises "with experience". They are looking for highly qualified professionals with modern education capable of developing and improving their business. Today, the demand for specialists of higher and secondary qualifications for manufacturing, construction and trading companies has increased. In construction, project managers, supply departments, chief mechanics are required. On the manufacturing enterprises, mainly in the food and textile industries - chief technologists, chief engineers, production managers and their deputies. Trading companies sales managers needed commercial directors and heads of marketing departments, who own modern methods of analysis and management. There is an increased demand for business analysts, who are invited by companies seeking to standardize business processes, and logisticians " new formation", capable of not only bringing and clearing cargo, but also optimizing the entire process, including procurement management, warehouse accounting, and so on. Last years in the market there are insufficiently qualified marketers of various levels and lines of business. Another feature of today's labor market is the shortage of chief accountants. Demand clearly outstrips supply here. I think that this is due to the complicated accounting in enterprises.
