It is not easy getting employment now

Although in some fields there are plenty of opportunities for employment if you want a career with prospects and one in which you can earn good money and receive additional employment benefits you may have to search harder for your ideal role.

The first thing to do is to register your interest in employment with businesses by sending out a well written and relevant CV. This should be tailored to the role you are interested in and include relevant experience that you have had. It is important to review your qualifications to see whether there are any additional courses that you could enrol in whilst you are applying for jobs as this shows a willingness for ongoing professional development.

If you are successful in your application and are offered an interview carry out your own research into the company and the role you are applying for so that you can talk knowledgably about the business and the company ethos and ask questions that are relevant to the role. On the day of the interview arrive promptly, smartly dressed and armed with some questions that you can ask the interviewers.

Should you be unsuccessful then the majority of employers will be willing to give you feedback on your application which will be useful for future job seeking.
