Exploring Job Search Channels

Before you actually start to look for a job, you need to spend some time to assess your priorities, skills, personality, interests and values. This will help you to be focused in your search for a job.

If you are looking for a job in the same industry, go beyond the traditional avenues like the newspapers:

	talk to friends, relatives and ex-colleagues
	surf job sites on the Internet
	contact employment agencies
	attend job fairs
	approach any of the CareerLink Centres

You should also be realistic and flexible in your expectations, such as salary and working environment. Be open to new job opportunities even if it means having to retrain to enter a career or an industry in which you are unfamiliar with.
