Most of us need to work in order to make money to pay the bills. If you have found yourself out of work then you may be stumped as to where to start your job search. When looking for a job there are a number of places that you can use to start you search. Some people go to the job centre and either speak to an advisor or many now have online computer systems you can use to find jobs that match your skill / experience level. This can offer you a wide range of jobs but you may not see all available positions especially if you are looking in a specific industry.

Online jobs boards are a hugely popular way to carry out your search.  Jobs boards are often quick and easy to use and allow you to search through hundreds of jobs at a time. You can often search by job type, location or salary and some allow you to refine this more by selecting qualifications you have.

When you start to apply for jobs, be sure to check that you have an up to date CV ready to send out or to upload to a job agency website. It is worth noting that you should always tweak your cover letter for each company that you are sending the CV to, to make it as relevant as possible, highlighting information that is specific to the job you are applying for.
