Question I'm recently made redundant - just find it odd that I got very little notice, is that normal?
Anyway I have asked all my friends if they know of anyone (networking), I am working closely with a few reputable recruiters and I am applying frantically for jobs. I write cover letters to suit the job ad.
My question is, what else can I do to get a job, please suggest some tips that you can think of?
Answer Ben-
Thanks for your question.
Sounds like you are doing all of the right things so far.
You don't mention your field.
Most good recruiters have a specialty - mine is accounting.
Start with a google search for "(your field)jobs in (your city)" or "(your field) recruiter in (your city)" and
contact some of the recruiters on the results list.
