Whether you are actively looking for a new job, or considering new options, the team at X4 Technology are here to help. Below are some of my top tips.<\/p>\n

Learn new skills<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever experience you currently have, whether that\u2019s 20+ years or you are just starting out, building your skills will make you more desirable to employers. Think about what skills you can add to your CV that will increase your chances of a better job, or higher salary when the economy picks up again.<\/p>\n

Think about where you want to be in your career in the next 1-3 (or more) years and ensure that the new skills you are learning or improving, align to your future career goals. What is your salary goal? Are you making the right decisions now to help you reach that goal?<\/p>\n

For some, this might be going back to university, for others it might be simply getting better at something by practising or taking a course. There are many free certified courses out there in data science, software engineering and a whole range of other technologies that will help you advance your technology career.<\/p>\n

Check out the average salaries in tech using free tools on platforms like Glassdoor. The below average salary data are just a few I have noted for different roles, but it will give you a rough idea of the type of position you want to aim for and what your potential earnings look like.<\/p>\n
