Looking for a new role when you work in HR can feel a bit strange. After all, aren't HR the ones who hire and fire, not actually look for roles?
Of course, it's normal to job hunt as an HR professional, and for many, the year has begun with the need to do so rather than just interest in a new role. A scroll through LinkedIn shows many 'Open to Work' banners, indicating that HR professionals have either finished in a role, perhaps through redundancy, or quit and now looking for new opportunities.
If you are one of them, there are clear, practical steps you can take way beyond that banner which will help you on your hunt.
Optimise your profile and CV with key words (and expect to do this more than once!)
Job hunting can be hard work - emotionally and physically. But it is, as they say, what it is, and that effort is imperative if you want to be seen, contacted and get to interview stage.
