One in three people seeking new careers

Press Release - 29th August 2007

Almost a third of people over 35 claim they would like a different career, according to a survey by Bradford and Bingley.  Whether they're fed up with their current job, or simply feel inspired to look for a refreshing change - Fuse Jobs is here to help people looking to change their career and therefore their lives for the better.

"We spend more than a third of our lives at work, so job satisfaction and work-life balance is integral to people's well-being and happiness." Says Matt Haikin, Director of Fuse Jobs.

"Opportunities to seek new career challenges have never been greater. With the growth of the service industries, and the demand for transferable skill, the range of employment opportunities available is better than ever."

"Fuse Jobs has played a pivotal role in helping our users make one of the most important changes in their lives. From mothers seeking to make a fresh start after raising their families to more mature workers inspired to try a complete change of direction - Fuse Jobs has already helped thousands of people.", says Matt.

"Many people think that older workers are settled and satisfied.  We welcome the Bradford and Bingley survey which challenges this and reveals that a desire to change direction is not just the privilege of those in their 20's."

The figures by Bradford and Bingley are a great support for Fuse Jobs, who provide support for all people looking for entry-level careers - whether they are swapping careers , starting anew, or returning after a break.

People who are willing to begin a fresh start in their lives are a great resource for London's only social enterprise online recruitment initiative, and will help make employers realise what a valuable and virtually untapped pool of candidates they are missing out on.

Covering a range of industry sectors, and working with a broad spectrum of other social and charitable initiatives, Fuse Jobs brings together all the advice, guidance and current vacancies anyone in London needs to find the new career they're looking for.
