From when I first started working at the age of 16, I decided that I wanted to gain as much experience in different areas within a job role as possible. Some people are happy to go into one role and stick at the same tasks day in day out but for me, I was constantly looking for the next stage.

May employers like to see members of staff that are willing to learn and get involved in new projects? Sometimes a company may be looking to expand and take on new staff. As an existing employee, you may have the opportunity to apply for internal vacancies prior to them being advertised elsewhere. If you have shown that you like to try new things and have already proved your worth in your existing job, then you have a good chance at being offered a job in the new role or a new department.
