As you may have realised, networking is one of the most important aspects of job hunting. Many jobs go unadvertised so it is important that you get the word out to your friends, colleagues and family members.  Make certain they all know that you are looking for work. One of the most under-used ways to get the word out is by setting up your own blog.

There are many ways to do this and probably the easiest is through wordpress.org” target=”_blank” title=”Wordpress.Org”>Wordpress.Org or Blogger . All you need to do is register and you’re virtually up and running. If you are one of those savvy people who have their own domain name and webspace then you can set up your own wordpress blog and customise it the way you want.

Yes, we all know there is a recession about and we are aware of the job losses. We read about it everywhere. However, if we fall into the trap of believing that there is no hope of getting a job because of all the negativity in the news then we are making it easy for others to find a job.

Change your focus. Stop being a Job Seeker and become a Job Hunter. Whats the difference? Well thats easy. A Job Seeker is someone who takes a cursory look at what’s available and makes token applications just to keep the Job Centre staff happy. However, a Job Hunter is a totally different breed altogether. They take positive action and look in places often overlooked by the Job Seekers.
