A. FINDING A JOB                                    

The more ways you try to find a job, the greater chance you have of succeeding. Besides looking at advertised vacancies, you can get friends and acquaintances to help you out, or try contacting employers directly.

Job vacancy ads

Job vacancies are advertised in many ways. Make sure you check for vacancies in several places, as some may be advertised in only one spot.

Use the Internet

Many job vacancies are listed online. 

·       There are now many job vacancy websites. Some list vacancies for a variety of jobs, while others have job in specific industries, such as IT.

·       Many recruitment agencies use job vacancy websites, but also have job listings on their own websites.

·       Many industry organizations, such as professional bodies or industry training organizations, will have job listings.

If you are interested in working at a certain business or a particular employer, keep an eye on their website. Most organizations will list vacancies on their own website.


Check daily and local newspapers

Major daily newspapers usually have one issue a week that features most of the job adverts. Papers with a weekend edition will generally have a large employment section too.

Recruitment Agencies

Recruitment agencies often advertise vacancies in newspapers or on their own websites on behalf of employers. You will normally need to register with an agency before you can apply for the vacancy, but registration should be free, as recruitment companies get paid by employers.

Recruitment agencies will often contact you about other jobs they think will suit you, which can be an effective way to access jobs that are not publicly advertised.

Other places where jobs are advertised

  • Professional and industry journals - you can buy these journals, or see if they are available in your library or on the Internet.

  • Career expos - recruitment agencies, universities and industries hold job expos, where employers provide information about job opportunities at their companies, and list vacancies. You can often apply for the positions at the expo, so take a few copies of your CV and be prepared for impromptu interviews.

Contact employers directly

Contacting employers directly (sometimes called "cold-calling") allows you to tap into the large number of jobs that are not advertised. Many of these jobs are filled by people who have friends, relatives or other contacts through the organizations. 

They are also filled by people who have taken the time to contact the employer, or sent in an application. Approaching an employer directly can not only help you find out more about a job or industry that interests you, but may lead to a job opportunity.

Preparing to contact employers

You may know already know which employers you want to contact. If you don't, try looking on the Internet, the Yellow Pages and the business and job sections of newspapers to find employers you'd like to work for.

Then find out what you can about the organization, by looking at their website or information put out by the organization.

Informational interviews

If you do get to meet an employer, you have a great opportunity to ask a range of questions, and show your interest in what they do.

You can also find out information that would help you in a future application - such as about what skills you'd need to get a job - but you can also find out more about the work itself, to make sure it's right for you.

Examples of useful questions to ask are:

  • What do you look for in new recruits?

  • What types of skills and work experience do people need?

  • How often do vacancies come up?

  • What does the job (or jobs) involve?

  • What training would be given?

  • What would the career opportunities and prospects be?



Use your networks to help you find vacancies

Friends, family, former colleagues – you never know who will have a job leaThe vast majority of job openings are never advertised; they’re filled by word of mouth. That’s why networking is the best way to find a job. Unfortunately, many job seekers are hesitant to take advantage of networking because they’re afraid of being seen as pushy, annoying, or self-serving. But networking isn’t about using other people or aggressively promoting yourself—it’s about building relationships.

Job search networking is about making connections with people who can either give you information about potential job openings, or introduce you to others who have this information.

You have nothing to lose by phoning or meeting with your contacts. If you don't make the connection, you won't know if there is good information or a job lead. If you do speak with them, you may be successful. At the very worst you'll feel a bit uncomfortable. But being prepared will make things easier.

Work out who can help

Talk to everyone you know, including people such as:

  • family and friends
  • neighbors
  • previous employers and colleagues
  • people you play sport with
  • local businesspeople.

It doesn't matter if you don't know many people. The people that you know might know other people who might know of a job opening. 

If you can pick up the phone and call them for any reason, they are potential networking contacts.

How to find new contacts

  • Get involved with a civic, social, religious or sporting organization. As you meet new people in the organization you can network with them.
  • Join a professional organization related to your field. The meetings or other events are good opportunities for you to network.
  • Consider contacting employers directly and setting up interviews, as this is a very effective technique in networking.

What to tell your contacts

  • Tell them you're looking for work or interested in exploring new job opportunities.
  • Prepare a brief statement about what you're looking for and the kind of help you'd like.
  • Describe the position you are seeking and give a brief review of your background, qualifications or companies that interest you.
  • Be specific about what you're after. For example, say "I'm looking for a role in training and development within the public sector or a not-for-profit organization".
  • If they don't know of any jobs at the moment, ask them to keep you in mind. Most importantly, ask them if they anybody else you can contact.
  • Follow up with your contacts. Often people will tell you "I'll see what I can do/find out" and leave it at that. Ring them back to find out how they got on (this might remind them to do it).
  • Follow up leads. After your initial networking efforts and research you will probably have a long list of new connections. You may need to meet with them in person to introduce yourself and get more information or job leads.

 

Tips for making new contacts and maintaining your network

  1. Whenever you meet someone new, exchange business cards, or at least get one from your new contact, so you can send them your details.
  2. Be prepared. You never know when you may run into someone who knows someone with a job vacancy. Always project a positive attitude and have pen, paper or business cards on hand.
  3. Record and organize your network contacts. You can use a spreadsheet, index cards or a job leads form. Write down the results of meetings and any follow-up needed. This will help you organize your time and monitor your progress.
  4. Show your appreciation for the help you receive by sending thank you notes or by telling contacts the results of information they gave you.

 

Keep networking even after you've found a job. You never know when you might need your network contacts again.
