Job Tips & Financial Strategies

Whether you’re looking to make a career move, or just trying to find a higher paying job, the holidays are a great time to put yourself on the radar and do some professional networking. This is the time of year when you’re likely going to parties, meeting up with friends and family, and possibly meeting new people. Amidst all the small talk, work is a common topic. Are you looking for a job? Now is the time to talk about it.

However, you need to be careful with your money. Before any job transition happens, make sure you have a complete understanding of your finances. You will need a working budget, awareness of all debts and incomes, financial goals and a plan to reach them! Your next job needs to help you accomplish those goals. Finally, don’t forget to consider the benefits of a job offer. Health insurance, disability plans and 401(k) contributions should all factor in as you consider switching jobs.

Stay tuned for next time for our next Weekly Round-Up! If you’re struggling to pay off debt, schedule a free credit counseling session today.
