What is different about looking for jobs today in Gatwick compared to 10 years ago

This information page deals with the ever changing recruitment market and is designed to help people that are searching for jobs today and also for people who are looking to possibly make a career change in the near future.

As anyone who watched the job market will no doubt have noticed, jobs today often seem to be on a contract or temporary basis. Of course this can be somewhat troubling to anyone who has mostly been employed on a permanent basis previously, however in reality this is nothing to be afraid of.

Jobs aren’t always for life anymore

Jobs today unfortunately just aren’t always ‘for life’ anymore and therefore even if you’re employed on a permanent basis there is no 100 percent guarantee that your job will be permanent.

The most pragmatic way to look at jobs today is that even if the contract type being offered by the company isn’t exactly what you might have wanted in an ideal world – is to consider a temporary or contract position to be a fantastic opportunity to ‘get your foot in the door’ and also to really find out about the employer to see how much you enjoy working there before you make a permanent commitment to them.
