Net that job

Be choosy
When looking for work on the web, be selective. Target those sites that will give you what you want with the least effort. Resist the temptation to register with lots, concentrating on a small number of resources that focus on jobs or locations that suit you best.

• Each newspaper offers different types of jobs. Are the jobs that interest you more likely to be in The Financial Times or The Stage?
  
  
• Don’t overlook professional and trade publications, from The British Medical Journal to Housing Today, most have online versions with vacancy listings.
  
  
• Register for mail alerts from sites that advertise jobs. It’s an easy way of keeping an eye on vacancies. Keep details of how to unsubscribe to avoid an overflowing mailbox once you no longer need this information.
  
  
• Look out for job sites that allow you to search by location. This will help narrow down your search.
  
  
• Many local authorities advertise public sector jobs on their sites, if you want to work in Cumbria for example, take a look at the County and District Council sites as well as local newspapers that cover the region.
