Looking at job search on a website

At times, job searching can feel tiring. Despite this, taking the time to find the right work for you is key.

It is important to tailor your job search. Applying for roles that match your experience and skill set. Some jobs may require special skills or training. 

Try not to overload yourself with too many applications. Shortlist the roles that you are truly qualified for, or more ambitious roles that really interest you. Invest your time in writing fewer, high-quality applications.

We can find you the right service to support your job search. Many services offer a caseworker who can help you on your journey. They will identify your skills, interests, and longer term career goals. From there, you can find sectors or roles that match up with your strengths and goals. Please search our directory for available services.

Finding the right job may take time but persist with a targeted approach. We have over 70 partners across the city to help in finding a role that suits you.
