From your friends or other people you know . People apply for jobs recommended or brought to their notice by their friends, family and acquaintances, possibly where these people work themselves.

By advertisement. Employers advertise vacancies in papers or magazines, sometimes in special supplements dedicated to job vacancies, and deal with the job seekers who respond with an application or asking for further particulars. The job seeker can place an advertisement themselves, in which they usually give their qualifications, experience and the kind of work they are interested in, and then wait to see if any employers reply.
|
Through the labour office or job centre. Employers report their vacancies to labour offices. Job seekers come there and look at the displayed vacancies on their own or with the help of a placement adviser for jobs, to see which would suit them and correspond to their qualifications. Then a personal contact between the job seeker and the employer may follow.
|
Through a recruitment agency. Employers use the services of specialized personnel recruitment agencies, which select suitable workers to meet the criteria required by the employers for particular jobs.
|
By searching on the Internet. There are many web sites offering jobs, structured according to different fields of work or by region.

"Cold Canvassing" or Assertive Application. Of course it is possible to dial the telephone numbers of different companies and ask about job opportunities. It is also possible to visit and enquire at personnel departments, sometimes even without phoning for an appointment first. But make sure you have your written CV ready and be prepared to outline your ideas about the job you would like to get. It also helps if you have a named person to contact in the company you are approaching.
