To get the most out of your job search, keep yourself informed, prepare well and use up-to-date job search techniques.

You’re much more likely to get a job if you:

• know what you want. You need to be aware of your goals and skills. The My Guide section will help you explore and identify career goals.
• understand the labour market and patterns of work.
• prepare for success. Practical information about how you can prepare both mentally and physically for getting that job.
• create a job search strategy that works. Learn how to find those job leads; research jobs, employers and their needs.
• present yourself effectively. Information about writing and preparing resumes, applications, covering letters, portfolios and how to present yourself on the phone.
• build your interview skills. Information about presenting yourself in an interview.
• know what to do when someone offers you a job. How to behave; what to do.
