If you are about to go on the hunt for your perfect job, here are some tips to help you to find it…

Many people think that job websites are the way forward, but lots of jobs get snapped up before they are even advertised – how? Word of mouth. There are a lot of ways to get yourself out there-  from using LinkedIn to spreading the word amongst friends and family that you are searching for a job.

Make sure that you are looking in the right places – if you have a specific industry in mind or a certain job, try to find places that specialise in this such as this procurement recruitment agency for example. Looking in the right places will mean that you don’t spend a lot of time looking through things that are not relevant to you which can be time consuming and frustrating.

Getting in touch with companies directly is also a great idea – pick up the phone and contact companies to introduce yourself, and ask if they have any vacancies now or in the future. It may be that they keep your details for when something comes up, but this is a great way to get yourself out there and show your interest if nothing else comes of it.
