Knowing how to go about getting a job can be<br />

tricky if you have limited experience in the job<br />

market, but here are five tips which will increase<br />

your chances of gaining employment.<br />

Network - Many people find jobs through people<br />

they know rather than traditional job adverts. Talk<br />

to family, friends and other people you know and<br />

ask if they are aware of any vacancies.<br />

Attract employers - Get potential employers to<br />

come to you. Post your CV online with various<br />

agencies and you could save yourself a lot of time<br />

and effort job hunting.<br />

Target companies - Look at the organisations<br />

which might make a good employer and<br />

concentrate on them. This may mean you only<br />

look at the big employers in your area or it might<br />

mean that you look into one sector but nationwide.<br />

Think positive - We all get a few knock backs<br />

when looking for work. Don't take it personally if<br />

you are rejected or don't even get a response. It’s<br />

probably not because of anything you have done<br />

wrong.<br />

Find hidden vacancies - Many jobs are landed<br />

before they are advertised but you need to act<br />

quickly. Look into internal recruitment and get<br />

friends to tune into their own company grapevines.<br />

It’s a good way of getting your foot in the door<br />

early.<br />

Knowing how to find a job is a skill in itself. Once<br />

you have been successful, the process becomes<br />

easier next time around.<br />
