Ways to find a job in London

Getting a job is not always easy if you do not have much experience in the job market, but there are some things you can do to increase your chances of getting noticed, and hired by an employer.

• Networking. Many people find jobs from people they know, rather than traditional job adverts. Your family, friends, and other people, may know where work may be available for you.
• Attract employers. Rather than just looking for jobs, consider getting potential employers to come to you. Post your CV online and you could save yourself a lot of time and effort job hunting.
• Target companies. Look at organisations, which might make a good employer and contact them. It could mean that you only look at the big employers near you, or that you look on a nationwide basis.
• Remain positive. We know that we go through tough times when looking for work. It’s normal. But don’t take it personally if you are rejected or don’t even get a response because it is probably not because of anything you have done wrong.
• Find hidden vacancies. Many employers can hire you for a job even before they are advertised, if you can get in quickly. Look into internal recruitment and seek out word-of-mouth advice as good ways of always being 2 steps ahead.

Knowing how to find a job is a skill in itself. Once you have been successful in finding a suitable job, the process becomes easier if you look for employment again in the future.
