Newspapers

LOOK IN THE PAPER
Six years ago when I used to help people find jobs, the paper was the biggest source of adverts. If a job was advertised I used to tell people to man the phone from 11am when the first edition of our local paper came out as the phone would be red hot with calls from people looking for jobs.
Things are a bit different now, with more and more people using the Internet. However there are still a lot of firms who publish job vacancies in local newspapers and some firms where they don't like IT only publish in the paper. I was amazed last week there was a job in a local school- it was published in the paper but not put on the Internet, don't ask me why?
Check out your local paper, do they have vacancies posted every day or a special job day on a weekly basis. Also check out where you can find a paper for free, libraries often get and keep copies of  local papers, so you can sit and get the details.

 You might be looking for a high powered high level job so check out any regional, national papers that may carry supplements on specific days for specific types of employment- well worth spending some time over and if you can find a library or a coffee shop you won't have to buy the paper!
