Newspaper Job Advertisements

In Sydney, read the employment section of the following newspapers:

· Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday and Wednesday (My Career section)

· Daily Telegraph (Classified Section)

· Community Newspapers (such as North Shore Times)

Hidden Job Markets

Surveys have shown that up to 70% of vacancies are filled by ways other than newspaper advertisements, such as: direct approaches to employers; word of mouth through networks of family and friends; and door-to-door visits.

But what is the Best Way to do it?

· Approach the task in a systematic way

· Try to maintain a positive attitude

· Identify what you can offer an employer first, then thoughtful targeting of employers

· Visit door-to-door for 2-3 hours at a time can be part of an overall planned job hunt

Direct Approaches to Employers

· Many employers of casual staff keep files of resumes or a list of people to contact at short notice

· Approaches can be made by personal visiting, by phone or by letters

· Try places such as sporting and entertainment venues (such as SCG, Sydney Olympic Park), but also smaller places such as bars, restaurants, take-away shops, convenience stores, market research companies etc.

Finding Employers to Approach

· Friends and relatives can often suggest employers, or they can act as your eyes and ears to help find vacancies.

· The Yellow Pages phone directory is also a useful way of finding employers to approach.

· Think about the types of jobs you are after, and then look up the types of businesses that have these jobs in the index. Contact them either in person or by phone.
