New year = New career? Staffing experts believe the job outlook is strong for 2023. Hiring trends show a lot of promise with tech and biotech companies having the greatest demand for jobs. Also, several warehouse and manufacturing jobs have raised wages to attract more applicants.
Goals vs Resolutions
Many popular new year resolutions are actually goals, not resolutions.
If there is a specific achievement, it’s a goal (such as “lose 25 lbs” or “run a marathon”). Permanent changes to your life are resolutions (since you keep doing them every day and not just until a specific achievement is reached). Be realistic: Goals can bring happiness but can easily cause discouragement if you don’t hit your goal on time.
