Additional Job Search Resources
- Reputable employment agencies can assist with generating interviews. Be sure to find out what is done to help you prepare for interviews and who pays the fee!
- It's estimated that only 15-20% of all jobs are listed in the want ads, and of those, most are also listed in the online version of the newspaper. When applying to a job in a want ad, make sure your cover letter and resume address all points listed in the ad.
- Talk to temporary personnel agencies about employment options.
- Take a related job, even at a lower level, which may lead to your goal.
- Consider continuing your education or obtaining specialized training.
- Talk to former employers about opportunities.
- Think about self-employment, including writing, consulting, or a small business.
