The job market

Working the job market is always a challenge, whether you’re a young graduate looking for a first position or a recently redundant employee with the intention of getting your career back on track. It’s never easy to find the ideal position for you and even harder to apply for it successfully. Fortunately, there are a number of resources available that can help to ease the job search process and make your efforts more successful in future. We’ve selected three of them here...

MoneySavingExpert.com

The Money Saving Expert is a website dedicated to helping individuals reduce their expenses. Naturally, the longer you spend out of work the further your resources will dwindle, so any new techniques you can employ to stretch the contents of your wallet further and ensure that you aren’t being ripped off will doubtless come in handy. Of course, the money-saving techniques you’ll glean from MoneySavingExpert.com can also be applied once you’re back in the workplace, too…

Glassdoor

Another online resource, Glassdoor is home to user-generated content dedicated to analysing levels of employee satisfaction from company-to-company. If you’ve been offered a new job but are concerned that you won’t fit into the workplace, Glassdoor can help you decide. Naturally, reviews from former employees must be taken with a pinch of salt, but they’re generally useful watermarks by which to judge an individual company. Glassdoor provides interview advice and salary comparisons, too.

Renovo career coaches

Here at Renovo, we feel that the ultimate resource available to any job seeker is an expert career coach. Career coaches can help job seekers to find suitable positions for their skills, experience and preferences, work to perfect their CVs and application forms and even help them with interview preparation.
