Finding a job

Finding a job in these economic times can be difficult. It also depends in which industry sector you are in. Job vacancies have gone down in most of the industry sectors because of recession. Job vacancies have remained stable in some industry sectors.

For example, there will always be a demand for healthcare professionals and many other jobs.

Some people are even considering changing their careers however this is not always necessary. If you are planning to change your career, you need to make sure that you will be happy in the new career and that you will have job satisfaction.

If you have lost your job, how can you find a new job? There are many things that you can do.

The first thing that you need to do is think positive and believe you can get a new job. The second thing you should do is revise your CV. You can make a CV by yourself or you can use an online CV Builder or a Resume Builder.

Making a good CV and resume will help you a lot. You can also look for a Free Resume Builder.

You can also plan to move abroad if you don’t have a job in your industry sector. You can look for UK Job Vacancies, Jobs in Dubai or Job Vacancies in other countries that you like.

The best way to look for jobs is online nowadays as it is cost effective. There are lots of sites online and you can get decent information about companies that have vacancies.

You can also look for jobs in newspapers.

There can still be some companies which do not advertise in the newspapers or online. These companies use ‘word of mouth’ for getting other employees because this saves them time and money. You can also directly contact the companies you may be interested in and ask if there is vacancy for the job you are looking for.

You should also make sure that when you are called for the interview, you are prepared. The best thing to do is to think of the questions that can be asked by the interviewer. If you have the right answers for the questions that are asked during the job interview, you will get the job.

  1. To add to this, business networking, building career networks and developing personal contacts is very important when seeking jobs. This is because up to 70% of jobs are never advertised.

    Some useful tips: Ensure you have a business card to the ready (best way to give out contact details). Be proactive about finding contacts and use their insight and advice. Be interested in what they say, stay confident and remain professional because successful networking is a good forum for others to introduce and recommend you.
