In recent weeks, we've been asking job seekers about their plans for 2011--and they're telling us that the coming year is all about a new focus on work.
We asked, 'Will your job or career be more or less of a priority in 2011 than in 2010?' And 61% said work would be more of a priority (9% said it would be less, 14% said they expected no change, and 16% weren't sure yet).
As many experts are predicting a rise in hiring over the next 12 months (at least a slight one), even people who already have jobs are thinking of looking for work in 2011.
We asked, 'What's at the top of your career wish list for 2011?' And 66% wished for a new job with a new employer (15% were hoping for a raise or promotion at their current employer, 17% were hoping to become self-employed, and only 2% were happy with the status quo).
The good news is, job seekers are mostly hopeful about their prospects. We asked, 'Do you think 2011 will bring improvements to your job or employment situation?' And 42% said they expected conditions to improve (33% expected conditions to worsen, and 25% expected things to stay about the same).
Of course, a career or job search doesn't improve on its own, and our poll respondents seem to recognize that. We asked, 'Are you making New Year's resolutions related to your career or job search?' And 78% said they'd made work-related resolutions.
