There are a number of ways you can search for jobs, including online.

Find out which day the local paper comes out and the days it advertises jobs. Newspapers also keep you up to date on which companies are moving
into the area and which are expanding.
You can use this information to apply to those companies before they advertise to see if there
are any jobs available. You may want to contact a company for more details about a job after
reading an article in the local press.

Recruitment agencies advertise short and long-term jobs and some specialise in particular areas of work.
If you register with the relevant agencies in your local area you’ll be kept up to date on the latest vacancies available.

People you know can give you useful information about job hunting. It’s worth talking to them about the type of work
you’re looking for, your skills and experience. They may know about a suitable vacancy or think of you when they hear
about vacancies in the future. They may also be able to put in a good word for you at the company where they work.
Networking events and conferences are also a good way of meeting new contacts. Before attending the event, you
should think about what you want to get from it. You should also take a few copies of your CV along with you.

A large number of jobs are never advertised, so it is worthwhile contacting companies to ask if they have any vacancies. A benefit of doing this is that you’re not competing against a large group of people, like
you would if the job was advertised.
Employers are used to people asking questions about jobs, so if they can find somebody without advertising
it saves them time and money.

Some employers now use social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter to recruit new staff.
To take advantage of this, make sure you’ve signed up with a relevant social networking site and create a profile that will impress potential employers.
