A guide to job huntingJob HuntingMost people will have basic knowledge of where and how to look for a job but here is a basic guide to helping you get the most out of your job search: * Job/career centres - Job centres will usually provide a wide variety of different types of jobs and new openings are posted on a regular basis so it is well worth visiting on a regular basis if you are serious about looking for work. Staff working in the centres is there to assist you in looking for your particular line of work and to help you arrange interviews and offer advice and support in your search. Career centres differ in that they usually help people searching for work up to the age of 21 though some now also help older people, career centres will usually have jobs that are specifically aimed at younger people and which are not advertised by the job centre. A lot of the career centres will also hold a register where you can be listed and when suitable vacancies come up they will notify you. Younger people may also be sent on training courses and attend group meetings for getting help with writing resumes and have access to free newspapers advertising jobs and can make use of telephones and computers free of charge. * Newspapers - Many job vacancies can be found listed in National, local and free newspapers, there are also newspapers that specialise in job vacancies, usually these are printed by region and only have vacancies that are within commuting distance while others have vacancies on a wider scope. A lot of employers with vacancies will just advertise in newspapers and not list jobs with the job or careers centres so it is worthwhile to scan these on a regular basis. It is worthwhile checking out your local library as most libraries offer newspapers daily free of charge. * Magazines, journals and agencies - A lot of professions will have their own journals or magazines in which employers will advertise openings, some of these can be bought from a newsagent off the shelf while others are only available as subscription. If you are looking for work locally then vacancies will usually be listed with employment agencies, these cover all different types of work and employment agencies can be found listed in the yellow pages. * Employers premises - A lot of employers will have job vacancies and work opportunities posted on the premises, the larger stores such as DIY companies and food retailers will have job boards which people can look at which saves them the time and expense of listing vacancies with agencies or newspapers. Some companies will list your name on their books even if they haven't got an opening at the moment and keep you in mind for future vacancies. * The internet - The internet is a great way of looking for a job, employment and recruitment agencies use it to advertise job openings locally, nationally and internationally. Local companies will also have web sites where they list any vacancies that they may have and most will let you apply for the job online. Filed under: Job Hunting |
