Want a New Role Before Christmas? Make These 5 Moves Now
13 September 2026
Show Notes
September is one of the most important hiring windows of the year. If you want to make a move before Christmas, this is the time to get strategic.
The market is still tight. Recruiters are flooded with applications. AI is increasingly being used to search, screen and shortlist candidates. So sending the same CV to every role and hoping for the best is no longer enough.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the five-part strategy I’m teaching women inside the Bold Move Career Accelerator right now:
Clarity. Network. Positioning. Tailored CV. Visibility.
And I’m sharing exactly why each one matters.
One woman had applied for a role and heard nothing for four weeks. She reached out to one person she knew inside the company and, within 24 hours, she had an interview and was moved through to the next round.
Another woman repositioned her LinkedIn profile and, within roughly 40 hours, a recruiter contacted her about a role she genuinely wanted.
This episode is for you if you’re applying and hearing nothing, wondering why your experience isn’t translating into interviews, or simply want a clearer plan to help you land the right role before the end of the year.
In this episode:
Why September is such an important hiring window
How to get clear on the role, company, environment and culture you actually want next
Why your network is one of your biggest career assets
How to activate relationships strategically without networking feeling awkward
Why recruiters are increasingly using AI and LinkedIn search tools to find candidates
How to position your LinkedIn profile around where you’re going, not just where you’ve been
Why tailoring your CV is now non-negotiable
Why five strong applications can be more effective than 50 generic ones
How AI is changing screening and first-stage hiring
Why visibility is becoming career currency
How posting and commenting can create opportunities you never applied for
The five-part strategy: clarity, network, positioning, tailored CV and visibility
The goal isn’t more applications.
It’s more choice, options and the right opportunities.
If you want a new role before Christmas, make these five moves now.
