Where can I find a job?

If you're looking for work, you may find yourself asking 'where can I find a job?' In the current economic environment, unemployment remains high in the wake of the global recession and you may find it takes longer to find a job than you had initially expected when you began your job search.

Sources of Work

Either way, it's important that you consider all the opportunities available to you as you search for work

Job Boards

Job boards can be a great source of work but they can also be problematic. If the question is 'where can I find a job?' then the answer is certainly 'on the job boards', but there are also other questions that need to be answered.
