Job Sourcing
There are essentially four methods to find a job these days:
- advertised vacancies
- recruitment agencies/head-hunters
- speculative applications
- networking (using your own personal contacts/making new contacts)
How much time you devote to each method is very much a matter of personal choice.

Recruitment Agencies
Recruitment Agencies have an important part to play in today's more flexible job market. Because of this, whatever your reservations, you cannot afford to ignore them.
Employers use them because it allows them to try out staff before making a long-term commitment and allows them to take on additional staff to cope with sudden rises in demand or seasonal swings.
Some agencies will deal with a variety of jobs, some will specialise.
