If you are currently unemployed and want to find a job that is just right for you here are some tips for getting employment quickly.

Firstly, look at the skills and knowledge that you already have and consider whether additional training or qualifications would open up more doors for you. It is possible now to do a course remotely from your own home meaning that issues such as transport or childcare may not prevent you from accessing further education.

Secondly, try to be open about career possibilities as it may be that a career in a different sector may be better especially if there are fewer job opportunities in your previous career. Some colleges offer courses for unemployed people who are looking to retrain so it is certainly worth enquiring if there are any being offered in your local area. Some courses will be free if you are in receipt of certain benefits which is an advantage to many.

Sometimes doing the leg work and going around different employers asking if they have any job vacancies can result in finding out about a job before it is advertised widely. Having printed copies of your CV to hand out is a good way to make yourself known and demonstrates your willingness to work hard.
