As increasing numbers of people lose their jobs, the employment market gets tougher by the day. So here is everything you need to know about finding a new role. Looking for a job needs to be a full-time job if you want success. You need to go through jobs websites every day and tailor your CV and covering letter for every application. It can be depressing going through endless adverts, applying and being rejected. But your efforts will eventually pay off. Factor in lots of breaks, get plenty of exercise and don’t give up.

The first thing you need to do is think about the types of roles you are going to apply for. In this tougher market, you need to be flexible and even consider a complete change of career. Next you need to spend time creating a CV that will help you to stand out. Then clean up your social media accounts and make profiles private – one bad joke could put employers off. Don’t put it off, start applying now. Apply for a set number of jobs each day.
