Letters and E-mails
Being pro active in finding an opportunity with an employer send letters with CVs and emails.
When looking for a job or placement, you have to be motivated, committed and
use your initiative. Depending on your situation and how much experience you
already have, depends on how long it will take to find a job or placement.
Staying motivated. This could be to do with money or generally having a job,
either way, you need a motivation.
Being committed. Staying with cause, not being thrown off by distractions or
rejections. It might take months and months and you might end up writing 100
letters, it might cost money, but you have to stick with it, otherwise you will never
prevail!
Using your initiative. If you’re trying to find a job or placement and you stick to
just one method for months, without any positive results, you need to use your
initiative and change tactics. For example, if you’re just using recruiting websites
to try and find a job, start phoning companies yourself or sending e-mails directly,
just to increase the chances of getting a response.
To have direct contact with employers you can send them a personal letter
(professionally written) enquiring about any possible vacancies or job that are
available that match your skills so attach your CV with it.
