Newsroom Special - Career Crossroads Day

    ‘New year, new me’, as the cliché goes, yet it seems there’s more truth to the idea of ‘out with the old’ as new calendars are hung on walls across the world.

    In fact, one area of our lives we’re most looking to change in the New Year is our career, with the 11th of January found to be the day when most people are considering ditching their job.

    Nearly three weeks after Christmas, at the end of the first full week of work and with our next pay cheque still weeks away, Career Crossroads Day will see many disgruntled Brits wondering if they can really stick out in their existing role for another 12 months. Last year saw a significant spike in job search traffic during the same period.

    New research, commissioned by Arden University, uncovers some of the reasons so many of us are at this career crossroads, and we were joined by the university's deputy CEO, Victoria Stakelum, to tell us all about it.
