Job Hunting Methods

Once you have prepared your CV you are ready to start looking for a new job in earnest. But how are you going to find that new job you want? There are essentially four ways to find a job these days: advertised vacancies, recruitment agencies/head-hunters, speculative applications, and networking (using your own personal contacts/making new contacts).

You should devote time to all of these various methods. How much time you devote to each method is very much a matter of personal choice. To start with you might spend some time contacting the various recruitment agencies. Once you have contacted them they will normally contact you if anything suitable comes up. Replying to advertisements is a weekly task which definitely merits some time spent on it. Networking should definitely pay dividends (especially if you are at a senior level). If one method seems to work better for you in terms of obtaining interviews then you should devote more time to it.
