Thinking about getting or changing your job?
If you are, then you might want a hand to applying for it.
Where to look?
Often the best way to find a job is through word of mouth. A friend or relation might be working somewhere and they tell you about a job before it is advertised. They may be able to put in a good word for you.
The Local and National papers all have job sections where employers advertise jobs on a regular basis. Some papers like the Guardian advertise specific kinds of jobs on certain days. Specialist magazines also advertise jobs in their field so if you are looking for a job in repairing and restoring classic cars then you might think about looking in a classic car mag for a job.
The EDP and other local papers have a job section which advertise a wide range of vacancies with local and regional employers.
There is also a wide range of employment agencies advertising posts in everything from advertising to zoos.
The Government also runs a series of agencies and schemes to help you find a job to suit your skills. You could try these websites to give you a pointer in the right direction.
