If you are searching for a new job don’t just use the careers services which charge you for help and advice, as there are plenty of organisations offering guidance free of charge.

One easy place to find advice is your daily newspaper, which will often have positions advertised and advice on how to apply.

There are often articles on applying for a job in the jobs section of the local newspaper and this will be specific to the local market which is most valuable to each candidate.  It is not totally free, but it comes with the cost of the newspaper.

You will also find a great range of magazines providing guidance on job hunting.

Many of the magazines are tailored to the world of business, with articles from successful business people and organisations. 

You will find a great selection of magazines which are dedicated to a certain industry type, such as banking or nursing. As these are dedicated and industry specific you are likely to find a wealth of great recruitment advice for the area you wish to work in.

The free resources for job hunters are worthwhile, but there is advice for a fee as well. Have a look on the internet at a great site I found at Tesco Job Vacancies.

Professional job agencies are a popular place for gaining advice on successful job hunting. However, advice from a job agency is not always free of charge.

Staff working within a recruitment agency will have up to date knowledge of vacancies within your chosen field.

In addition recruitment agencies there are also organisations who specialise in helping you write your CV and application letter. This service is generally not free of charge.

You should consider if the cost of using these services will be worthwhile in your search for a job.

Books should also be considered a valuable resource when searching for a job as there are many available providing practical tips and guidance for those searching for a job.

Many successful job hunters have stated that the professional services who charge for their advice are the key to finding employment.

If you are successful in finding work following careers advice then don’t forget to recommend the agency or newspaper you used to find your job.
