This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 769, Mon 18 November, 2024

Happy Monday Escapees!


Each week in this newsletter we share 10 of the most exciting and purposeful roles direct from our jobs board. Roles that will grab your attention in organisations that might just make you believe that there is something more inspirational out there.


But how often do you click through to the job listing, get the warm and fuzzies about your possible escape and then suddenly see a requirement for the role that makes you think, ‘dammit, I have no experience doing that?’.


We know this happens all too often. Organisations will write about the dream candidate - this ultimate, mythical jobseeker - the one that ticks all the boxes. However the reality is that these same organisations really do recognise that their perfect new team member might have slightly different experiences and skills to what they have laid out - and very often they value the importance of character, experience and transferable skills over an initial checklist of non-negotiables.


So today we suggest you take a look at the top 10 jobs below. Click through to that job that gets you all fired up and submit that application. Even if you don't tick every single measure of skill and experience required, be the jobseeker that takes the plunge, gives it their best shot and who knows what might happen!


Happy Escaping!
