strategies to secure your new role.
Finding a job can be tough, especially in a competitive job market. Relying on just one job search approach, such as online job boards, can limit your opportunities. Diversifying your methods – networking, directly approaching organisations, and leveraging social media – can increase your chances of success. Each approach offers unique advantages, like personal connections or immediate feedback, which can be crucial in landing the right job. Sticking to one method might seem easier, but being proactive and using a multifaceted approach is often more effective in today’s dynamic job market.
