Being busy at work and being valuable at work are two very different things.
You can spend an entire week in meetings, replying to emails and ticking tasks off your to-do list, only to realise that your most important work hasn’t moved forward.
And if you're looking for your next career opportunity, remember: the goal isn't just to find a job where you can stay busy. It's to find a role where your skills and contributions can make a difference.

We’ll advise her to accept the role while building her data skills, working on volunteer projects, and applying for entry-level data positions when she’s free. She should also set a realistic timeline for transitioning so she doesn’t get too comfortable and lose sight of her goal
Absolutely. Changing careers in your late 20s doesn’t automatically mean starting from entry level. The key is to identify which of your existing skills, experiences, and achievements can transfer into your new field.
Here’s what you can do:
5. Reposition your CV: Highlight relevant achievements and transferable skills instead of presenting your entire career history through the lens of your old profession.
We’d say follow up no more than twice after an interview. Send the first follow-up if the timeline they gave you has passed, then send a final one about 5–7 business days later if you still haven’t received a response.
Job hunting can feel like a numbers game. The more applications you send, the better your chances, right? Not necessarily.
Spending hours applying for roles that don’t match your experience or career goals can leave you exhausted, with little to show for it.
Here’s a practical tip: Score each role from 1–5 against these three questions before applying. Prioritise jobs with the strongest overall scores, then spend time tailoring your CV and preparing a thoughtful application.
Remember, a focused job search isn't about applying to fewer jobs just for the sake of it. It's about putting your best effort into opportunities where you have a realistic chance of succeeding.
