Other ways to find job vacancies
- Search through the job sections of local and national newspapers.
- If you have skills specific to a certain industry, search through their trade publications or websites.
- Friends and family are a great source of information; they may even know of vacancies where they work.
- Create a profile on LinkedIn, the professional networking site.
- Work experience or voluntary work adds to your CV and can also lead to permanent work.
