Better search habits

Begin with the journey you can sustain.

A search can become too broad to manage when every location is treated as equally practical. Begin with a realistic area and the hours you can work.

Look beyond one exact job title.

Employers can use different titles for related work. Begin with the responsibilities and skills rather than assuming that one phrase captures every suitable role.

Make the work understandable before asking for an application.

A candidate needs to understand the work, the location and the essential requirements. These facts belong near the beginning of a vacancy description.

Check the connection between the role and your experience.

Before sending an application, return to the role description. Does the application explain why your experience is relevant to the work?
