Define Steps for looking for a good job?

Set aside some time each day where you can concentrate on looking for jobs. initially, you should be spending a lot of time creating an effective CV. After this you can spend time on the following areas:1.Registering with construction recruitment agencies2.Searching construction recruitment websites. 3.Scanning the local and national press.4.Finding trade journals that may have jobs advertised for your construction industry 5.Sending out speculative letters to potential construction employers. 6.Applying for advertised jobs (and customizing your CV and covering letters if necessary) 7.Chasing up old contacts to find out about vacancies. 8.Check the local job centre / employment office. 9.Following up any letters you have sent out. You should split your tasks up so you can use your time efficiently. For example, you can enter local construction recruitment agency information (address, etc) into a database and mail merge your covering letter. This way you can get them all out and mailed in the same day. This is also useful for sending out speculative letters, although these should really be customized for best effect.
