Searching for a job

You have the following options when searching for a job:

1. Networking and Referrals

Many of the best jobs are never advertised. They are filled by candidates who learn from people they know, or someone you know may recommend you for a position.

2. Job Boards and Career Websites

Job boards have moved to virtual format. You can also use job search engines or any of a vast number of career-related websites that post job openings.

3. Job Fairs

Job fairs are often targeted toward specific industries, although some job or recruitment fairs are more generalized.

4. Company Websites

You can go directly to the career section of the company’s website.

5. Headhunters and Recruiters

Many organizations hire through recruitment agencies to streamline the hiring process. Headhunters actively recruit individuals to fill specific vacancies.

6. Temping or Internships

Temporary employment and short-term contracts often lead to permanent positions.
