Searching for Jobs

When you set out on your job search, it's rarely possible to guess how long it
will go on for. As time passes, the rejections mount up and the budgets get
tighter, it's easy to become disheartened.

However, this is exactly the time when you need to dust yourself off and put in
more hard work than ever. One of the main attributes of a successful job seeker
is persistence. Here's a few tips to help you stay positive:

There's a vast range of potential employers out there, from small start-ups to
the biggest multinationals. Which type best suits you is for you to decide,
based on your personality, your likes and dislikes and, of course, your
experience. If you're unsure, take the time to do as much research as you can.

A common misconception about looking for a new job is that all vacancies will be
either advertised or easily visible. Unfortunately, that couldn't be more wrong.

Many vacancies are regarded as hidden, never to be seen by the majority of
people - instead of advertising, employers will fill these vacancies by
word-of-mouth, headhunting or simply recruit internally. Knowing how to get
yourself in contention for these roles could give you a major boost when it
comes to finding your next role.
