There are also good opportunities for
entrepreneurs and those who wish to work for themselves, either as
contractors, freelancers, self-employed business people, consultants,
franchise owners and more. As with ‘regular’ full-time employment roles,
these jobs are widely advertised on mass recruitment sites and also on more
specialist websites.
To stay up to date with the jobs market, you need to be organised and
responsive.
Sign up for all of the websites
that are relevant for your field of work. These may include generalist
sites and sector-specific recruitment sites.
Keep an eye on the changing array
of jobs, even if you aren’t immediately looking to make a move. It’s
good to see how the trends are progressing and where opportunities lie – and
you may even spot your perfect job while you’re perusing!
Read widely about economic trends and regional performance and
particularly local labour indicators and predictions. This will help you to
get a feel of whether your current region is one with sustainable employment
or whether relocation could be beneficial to you.
Start to network with local business groups with a focus on your
particular industry. Details of these can usually be found by searching
online for local industry meet-ups. Otherwise try contacting your local
Chamber of Commerce for more information about what is happening in your
area.
Keep an eye closely on
the news too, so that you’re better informed and can make predictions on
the local job market more accurately. Many people nowadays use the online
versions of newspaper and news channels to get the latest
breaking UK news, but
newspapers and periodicals are also valuable for their editorial, insight
and analytical content that goes beyond the headlines.
Remember too to look at things such as businesses for sale in the back pages, the jobs pages themselves and whether there are any large recruitment drives in certain sectors – or conversely, news of redundancies in local large companies or particular sectors.
