Are you waiting for the perfect job to come along? Stop waiting – and start taking control. Yesterday, I spoke with two Chartered Building Surveyors – one recently Chartered, the other at Associate level. Both were considering a move but waiting for the “right” role to come along. Sound familiar? Here’s the problem: waiting for the right role means leaving your career to chance. Both of these Building Surveyors are in high demand, but the idea of relying on job ads or waiting for opportunities essentially puts someone else’s priorities ahead of your own. There’s a better way to approach this. Start with you. Ask yourself: ✅ What do you need in your next role? ✅ What will move your career forward? ✅ What aligns with your personal goals? When you focus on what you want rather than what appears to be on offer, you take control of your search. So, stop waiting for luck to land the perfect job in your lap. Be intentional. Take charge and find it. If you’d like help creating a tailored approach to your job search, get in touch. I’d be happy to guide you every step of the way. #mrics #rics #charteredbuildingsurveyor #surveyorjobs HD Surveyors Ltd

Specialist vs. Versatile: Which Chartered Surveyor Path is Right for Your Career? 🏢 In the world of surveying, larger firms often focus on one specific asset class, creating specialists within a team. Smaller companies, however, may encourage surveyors to work across multiple asset types, giving them a broader market understanding. When deciding on your next role, think about what suits your career aspirations: do you want to specialise in one area, or are you looking for variety and a more dynamic career path? #CareerGrowth #RealEstateCareers #SurveyorJobs #JobSearch #RealEstate

The industry for recruiting Quantity Surveyors is incredibly challenging at the moment - employers are struggling to find the right people and even when they do, the competition is fierce and there is little guarantee of being able to hire the person you want. But life as a candidate is not easy either! I've had many instances recently of speaking with candidates who have had contact from no fewer than 10-15 agencies about different roles (and some times the same role!!). Imagine trying to decide which role is the best fit for you in that scenario! This brings up the question - is it better to work with one recruiter or a variety? In truth, it really depends on the experience you're after. If you need a role quickly and the job itself is more important than what you're doing day-to-day, then you're probably better off speaking to multiple recruiters. This should present you with a broader range of opportunities that vaguely match your criteria, albeit requiring a considerable amount of your time to manage all of these different conversations If however, you are more selective, you are perhaps more passive in the market, and it's critical that you're next move is the right one in your career, you're probably better off working with one single market-expert who can go on this journey with you to pin point the right role for you. So next time you are thinking about a job switch, consider what you want and what the best approach is to get this 🤔 #hiringsupport #quantitysurveyors #qs #recruitment
