Searching for Jobs

Job Hunting While Your Employed?

So you want to look around for your next career step but you are concerned that
your current employer will find out and give you an early exit? Confidentiality
in your job search is a reasonable concern and makes the way you approach
finding your next position all the more important. Confidentiality and privacy
issues in today's hyper-informative world are issues that should be taken
seriously.

How can I use a company party to network?

Whether it's an annual event or an excuse to pick up office spirits, many
companies like to get their employees together to get to know each other outside
the usual work environment.

How do I build and maintain a contact database?

When networking and developing your contacts, it's easy to gather a wallet full
of business cards and have no recollection of who they belong to and where you
picked them up.

An effective and intuitive database will help you identify who you have met,
what you have discussed and, most importantly, where the available jobs
opportunities are.

Building a list
Managing your network requires methodical listing and dating of
contacts made and replies received.

Should I become a specialist or a generalist?

If you're a graduate or assessing your long term career option, one question
you'll have to consider is whether to choose the path of a generalist or a
specialist.

It's not an easy question to answer because of the changing nature of roles
within large organisations and the increasing pressure put on all employees. You
need to decide which presents the most rewarding and the most secure employment
path for you.

Part-Time, Temporary or Permanent?

In today's society there is an increasing trend of people opting out of the
traditional full-time working schedule and choosing flexible working patterns
instead. Most employers are open to the idea of flexible working even if they
don't currently offer it as an option to employees.

So what are the options available, what do they mean and how do you know which
one is right for you?

themselves, North London has a wealth of character, a thriving multicultural
environment and a cosmopolitan air that sets it apart from the rest of the
capital.

Despite substantial urbanisation of the district throughout the twentieth
century, many of the former villages and towns that once existing in their own
right before becoming absorbed by the expanding London area, have retained some
of their original charm and identity.
