How to find a job

Recruitment Agencies

Agencies advertise vacancies covering temporary and permanent positions, have access to vacancies which may not be widely advertised elsewhere and operate in a wide variety of industry sectors. Some agencies deal with entry level roles for graduates, or temporary roles which require particular skills or experience.

Advice

• You should not pay to apply for a role through an agency
• You can register with more than one agency
• Check their website for vacancies you wish to apply for
• Recruitment consultants tend to be very positive about finding you a job, but it is important for you to be proactive and telephone a named contact at the agency regularly to ensure your name is at the forefront of their minds when a job comes in
