95% of people say that finding a new job is their New Years’ resolution this January, finds a recent survey by TipTopJob.com. The survey asked over 1,000 users of the site. That leaves only 5% of people who have a New Years’ resolution related to something else.
January is always the busiest month when people are determined to organise their life and set themselves goals for the year. Putting off finding a new job is the easy option as it can be a difficult process but why not in January, when you are feeling motivated, get a plan into place and make things happen?
Have you already made it happen? Are you in the process of making this happen?

In our most recent survey, we asked our users if they were hoping for a kiss at their Christmas party this year and if a kiss could lead to a promotion in the New Year.
We found 43% of respondents are hoping to kiss a work colleague at the office Christmas party and that 1 in 3 people felt that if they managed to kiss their boss at their Christmas party it could lead to a promotion in the New Year. Are people really that desperate to exploit this kind of behaviour in an effort to build their career?
Our survey asked over 1,000 users in the lead up to Christmas.
It is a funny way of thinking because really only the outcome of having too many drinks and kissing work colleagues is embarrassment and awkwardness when it is time to go back into the office.
We would love to hear about what happened at your Christmas do? Did anyone embarrass themselves? Did anyone kiss the boss? Let us know….
TipTopJob have reached a new milestone on their job numbers of 535,000 live jobs with over 1 million new jobs posted last month. Jobs have increased on average by about 9% each month over 2013 and the number of jobs being posted on the site has tripled since the same time last year.
Majority of jobs are found across the USA, UK, Germany, France, Canada and Belgium but cover over 83 Countries across the Globe. About 30% of the jobs are IT based and the top industries include Health, Marketing, Catering, Sales and Education but there are a healthy number of jobs across all 35 industry sectors.
As a fully global jobsite, TipTopJob are able to offer a good variety of vacancies for those wanting to work within their local market but more importantly those looking to re-locate overseas, which is not something other jobsites are able to provide.
Mike Dauncey comments, “This is an exciting milestone and puts us in a good position to achieve being the leading unique International jobsite”.
At the end of November, we saw the largest growth in terms of jobseekers in the Government & Public Sector, Customer Service & Call Centre, Catering & Hospitality and Retail & Wholesale industries in November. Information Technology, Engineering and Health, Nursing & Social Services continue to be the industries with the largest number of jobseekers registered in them.
In terms of job numbers, the Charity sector, Recruitment and Work From Home saw the largest rise but the Health, Nursing & Social Services industry was the industry with the largest number of jobs posted in it in November.
When looking at Country data, South Africa had the most number of candidates registering in November compared to any other Country. The USA, UK, India and Canada were also at the top. The United Kingdom however, continues to hold the most number of candidates.
The USA still has the most number of jobs being posted in it.

When looking for a new job, corporate social responsibility of an organisation may not even enter your mind and it may not be something a lot of companies have time to think about but when considering large corporate organisations it is somewhat quite significant.
In our most recent survey, we asked 1,000 respondents what they felt was the most important to them when assessing CSR within an organisation. We found that “value to customers” was the more important category within Corporate Social Responsibility in the employees/jobseekers eyes.
The top response was 39% who said “value to customers” was the most important. This was closely followed by “acting responsibly” where 25% responded. 16% felt “treating employees well” was important.
Only 3% responded with “partnering with suppliers”, this was the least important factor. Only 8% felt “Investing in communities” was important and 9% felt “respecting the environment” was important.
If you were looking for a new job and checking out what the organisation got involved with in terms of its corporate social responsibility, what would be the most important factor for you? Would you agree that “value to customers” is the most important factor? Do you think “partnering with suppliers” is the least most important factor?
We are pleased to announce a new section within our Career Centre this week named Job Profiles / Descriptions.
The section details selected popular roles across some of the industries we cover. Each of the job roles includes an explanation of what is involved in the job, what entry requirements there are, what skills and abilities are required, what salary expectations are, what hours are expected, what training is involved and what career progression there may be.
So far, we have covered the following industries; Accountancy, Aerospace, Agriculture/Fisheries & Forestry, Catering & Hospitality, Charity, Construction, Education & Training, Engineering, Health/Nursing & Social Services and Information Technology. There will be new industries added and more job roles within each.
