Creative Job Searching
Many jobs are never advertised through the usual media. Some employers choose not to advertise because they receive enough speculative applications to make advertising unnecessary whilst others prefer to use recruitment agencies. Sometimes an organisation might not realise that it could benefit from employing a graduate in a particular role and might therefore be open to persuasion.
Finding contactsMake use of employer directories. They will tell you an employer's location, size of company, turnover and what they do.
Getting a foot in the doorThis does not mean contacting employers and asking them for a job. You need to be more subtle. Approaches could include:
What are the benefitsAt the very least you should be able to find out more about a particular job or employer you are interested in. At best, making and developing contacts will lead you to the job you want.
