Job Search and Career mapping – Searching for a new job can be daunting, especially when we don’t know where to start. We are happy to sit with you and offer tailored advice on the best methods of searching and applying for vacancies, as well as looking for upskilling opportunities that will increase your chances of getting the job you want.

Speculative Applications

Compared to popular ways of applying for job vacancies, speculative applications offer the opportunity of applying for jobs that are not advertised and such, giving the applicant the competitive advantage. Please remember that this method can be used when looking for both paid and unpaid work.

Steps to follow:

• Select the occupation and industry you are interested in – Attend company open days, careers presentations, or employment fairs
• Research and Identify potential employers to target – subscribe to newsletters, press announcements or Twitter accounts
• Draft a CV to use when contacting prospective employers – attend our workshops or make an appointment to see one of our team members
• Prepare personalised cover letters for each employer – make sure that it states clearly what you are looking for (paid role or unpaid work experience) and your availability.
• Source the name and email address of the Human Resource Manager by visiting the company’s website, LinkedIn, or by calling the company directly – never send a general email as it will be overlooked

Follow up with a phone call – this will show your genuine interest in securing a role with the company
