Job Search Resources

Keep looking and applying for jobs for which you have the appropriate skills. Before applying for a job, find out about the company offering the job by asking others and looking at their website. An employer will be impressed if you know about what the company does, but also you need to satisfy yourself that they are a company where you would like to be employed.

It has been suggested that you will have a better opportunity by working through an employment agency that knows how to market your skills, rather than going directly to the company. Also the employment consultant may suggest revisions to the way your CV has been written – but you have to provide the right information to the employment consultant.

CV preparation

Your CV is a very important piece of paper that you hope will get your application moved from a large heap of initial job applications on an employer’s desk, into a smaller heap of the applications to be selected for an interview.
