Guide to Job Hunting

3 Newspapers

Many jobs are advertised in local and National Newspapers, many in free papers, and others in job hunting papers. Any quick glance along large newsagent's shelves will reveal the local job hunting papers. Some of these are printed on a regional basis, with vacancies within commuting distance. Others are national.

The national press often carries vacancies for a particular occupational area; e.g. the Guardian has Educational Vacancies on Tuesdays, with other professions and occupational areas on other days of the week. This is equally applicable to other papers -

TIP: Most of the tabloids have web sites, and some carry vacancies online. Use a search engine to locate them, or try http://www.NEWSPAPERNAME.co or COM, it works most of the time.

Many employers will advertise in local and national papers, but not in the Job Centre, so it is a good idea to keep looking at these too.

Public libraries will keep most local and many national papers - which is worth bearing in mind as it can be costly to buy them all. Check the specific days when they carry job adverts, as many will only include vacancies on a specific day of the week.
