Steps to Take when looking for Work in 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.
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.
Your next step should be to contact local recruitment agencies directly and see if they have any openings available.
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 an brief of your previous experience.
