Ask to join or form a workplace committee. Offer to help coordinate a “lunch and learn” session, or an after-hours network of your peers. Turn to peer networks, blogs and books to support your turnaround. Feeling underutilized? Take the initiative. Approach your manager about taking on increased responsibilities.

I decided to leave my previous employee in June 2010 but was job hunting for 6 months and when I did get the role I am in currently I had to complete a detailed application form, attend three interviews and sit two psychometric tests (for language and numerical skills).
