We have numerous free publications on specific areas of work, such as the Prospects Focus Series , Hobsons Casebooks, GTI Journals and Inside Careers Guides , which include employer adverts. New Scientist and Nature are obvious sources of scientific jobs. Countryside Jobs Service and the Environment Post provide details of environmental and conservation vacancies, as does the Green Directory web site. Artyfacts and Artists Newsletter carry art-related jobs. The Prospect Occupational Profiles give useful indications of where vacancies are advertised for particular types of jobs.
Professional bodies can be useful sources of information too.
Not all vacancies are advertised, so you may find it useful to make speculative applications to the type of organisation that interests you. Recruitment agencies can be a useful additional tool in the job hunt. Some specialise in particular areas, while others deal with a wide range of vacancies. There are a number of web sites that allow you to enter your CV on a database which will be searched by employers. These can be useful but success will depend on the number of employers and students using the particular site and also on whether the employers are likely to be of interest to you.
