# 218: Don’t Let The Market Fool You! People Are Moving Into Amazing Roles In 2023

 [Visibility Series - Part 5] 

In today's episode, I talk about not letting the market fool you! Plenty of people are moving into amazing roles in 2023. And plenty of companies are hiring right now!

You may be one of the many people who have been considering making a move for a while. You may be feeling reluctant because the market seems crazy; there’s a lot going on and there's been a lot of movement. Everywhere you look, all you hear about is inflation and recession. You may feel like this isn’t a good time for you to really prioritise your career goals and making the type of move that you ultimately want to make. 

I see a reluctance to take any action at all because people are equating exploring or preparing for a career move with actually doing it. Those are two very distinct phases. Preparing for a career move and contemplating a career move aren’t the same as handing in your notice and actually leaving a role. 

There's preparation that has to happen before action and in this podcast, we focus on that preparation piece, because whether you are looking to make a move in the near future, whether in the next three or six months, or whether that isn’t something that’s on the cards for you right now, you should still be looking at how you can prepare yourself for the future. 

Even if you don’t want to make a move right now, you should be thinking about whether you are prepared for the situation where you have to make a move. Doing your job and doing it well is one part of your career development strategy. There’s also the part where you’re actually thinking about how you're managing your career, your development, your advancement... and those things should be happening all of the time. 

There’s a quote that I really like, “be ready or stay ready, so that you don’t have to get ready”. And that just means being prepared so that if things happen you’re not caught on the back foot and you actually have put things in place. 

Visibility is such a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to you positioning yourself for the type of opportunity that you ultimately want.
