Finding and securing a new job
Finding a job is, in itself, a job. It is a job that needs thought, planning and intelligent actions. Work Horizons provides advice, clues and direction. You work at your own pace and in a way that suits you. Naturally, we hope you have taken time to consider the type of work or organisation which will bring meaning and fulfilment to you. However, if you have decided to skip past that section of this site it is fine.
- Do you know what sort of job you want? Do you have the necessary skills?
- Where can you find job vacancies? What do you need to change in your CV?
- How can you manage an interview when you haven’t had one for years?
- Can you negotiate if offered a job? And what will it be like on the first day?
In this section we will be helping you answer these challenging questions, while giving you insight to the needs, attitudes and approaches of employers.
