Friends and Relatives Let your friends and relatives know when you're looking for a job. Applying Directly to Employers Even though a business doesn't list a job opening, call, write, send your resume, complete a job application or ask for an informational interview. Try to make personal contact with the person who does the hiring.
Most federal jobs have very specific qualifications and application instructions.
Once you have registered, the local offices can make referrals on state and local openings. Local Government Agencies City and county offices have a personnel department or officer that handles job openings. You can find these opening at TWC, in local newspapers, at city hall and at the personnel office. These agencies place workers in jobs with different employers for a limited period of time. This is an excellent way to make contacts and develop new skills to improve your employability.
