In some sectors there appears to be quite a few job vacancies currently especially if you are interested in working in the care industry. To give yourself the highest chance of getting a job, here are a few pointers to consider.

Firstly, apply for as many jobs as you can as this will increase your chances of being successful. Even though this will mean spending time searching every few days and filling in application forms or sending off your CV and covering letters to prospective employers it is a worthwhile way to proceed if you are serious about your job search.

As there is fierce competition for some roles, you will need to ensure that your CV and covering letters are top quality so that they can compete against other candidates’ applications. Experience alongside qualifications is the main thing an employer looks for when they make their choice as to who they should invite for an interview so make sure your CV lists all your skills and achievements. If you are not as qualified as others, it does not mean that you will be ruled out if you can demonstrate a willingness to undertake further training and have other attributes that will be valuable to the employer.
