- Chat with people and listen carefully at all social occasions and meetings. Try to find out if there are any job opportunities that other people know of.
- Get in touch with a valid and professional recruitment agency. Phone them first to find out if there is any sense in sending them your CV. At this point you can also find out if, at the moment, they have any positions that are perfect for someone like you.
- Don’t be shy. Call up a company for which you’d like to work and find out if they currently have any positions open – speak to the Human Resources Manager, or even the Director, if possible. Find out what kind of qualifications they’re looking for. Even if there are no positions currently offered in your field or with your experience, ask them what kind of qualifications or experience they would look for were your dream position open.
