With the number of unemployed people totalling over 2.5 million people in the UK, it can be pretty tough to get a job these days. A lot of jobseekers have to compete even harder for the same jobs, with many people even applying for jobs in areas that they would not have normally considered commuting to because of the distance or time involved.
As well as visiting recruitment agencies in Birmingham, Manchester, London or wherever you maybe, the Internet is one of the best places to look for jobs as it provides real-time updated job listings on both job board websites and on employers’ own websites, a luxury you would not have if you relied solely on newspaper job listings.
