Job searching strategies

Employment websites

There are a large number of web sites which list current vacancies. This offers a convenient way to search for vacancies, but as with newspapers, not all jobs are advertised. This means you will not find every job that is available by conducting an Internet search and these jobs also attract many applicants.

Online job search

These web sites are often tailored to specific industries, or provide the function of selecting an industry in your search. You can also select from occupation, location and use keywords. Internet searching provides advantages in that you have the opportunity to be notified by email when relevant positions arise, it is convenient, faster and provides access to a wider area and is cheaper than newspaper searching.
