Knowledge is power.
Don’t be afraid of finding out what you are entitled to whilst you are looking for work.
To find the job you want you need to look at your skills and the type of job you want to do. You then need to plan how you will go about looking for it.
What you have to offer
Start by asking yourself honestly what skills and experience you have. Think about the skills you have developed in the jobs you have had before, and in your life outside of work.
Employment skills and experience.
Ask yourself the following questions to think about skills you have developed, including those built up in jobs you have had before:
did you develop any skills that will be useful in the job you're looking for?
have you worked as part of a team?
did you need to share information with others?
did you follow or give instructions well?
are you a good timekeeper?
do you have IT skills?
did you get any qualifications?
were you praised for any part of your role?
Where to look for jobs
There are a number of ways you can search for jobs:
* through Jobcentre Plus
* through newspapers
* on the internet
* by registering with recruitment agencies
* in trade journals
* through friends and other people you know
Many companies now advertise jobs on the internet through their own websites, recruitment websites or online job boards owned by the newspaper group.
The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
