Finding opportunities
The key to finding excellent opportunities is to have a combination of strategies. Looking at advertised vacancies is important, but networking is also an extremely valuable way of making connections to get you a job. Start networking as early as possible and let contacts know what job you want – that way it won’t just be you looking!
Improve your networking conversations by doing background reading, reviewing professional bodies' websites and reading job descriptions to raise your awareness of what might be available.
