Moving to a new neighbourhood

Moving to a new place can be a complicated process of organising new GP's, finding your new bank branch, but, perhaps most importantly, finding new employment in your new home is perhaps the most pressing thing.

Being in a new and unfamiliar place means that you will have practically no information that is relevant to the area and no connections upon which you can gain a job, so you will have to depend almost entirely upon public information and recruitment agencies.

Step 1: Get Online

The first step of any search for work should begin by ensuring that you've made it known on online jobs boards. These are the primary areas in which recruitment staff look for potential employees, so if you're not there, your chances of finding a job are going to start to plummet.

Step 2: Contact Local Agencies

Your next step should be to contact local recruitment agencies directly and see if they have any openings available. Local agencies have their finger on the pulse of the job market in your new area and can provide invaluable guidance.

Step 3: Research Local Employers

Finally you should research online for industry actors in your area, to see if they have any jobs available. You can also use LinkedIn to see if they are advertising any jobs on their account, and contact them through LinkedIn too. That way they can also quickly see a brief of your previous experience.
