Tips & Advice

Getting yourself into employment is a three stage process. Randstad has some tips and advice on the basics, plus some free templates for you to download to help you in your search for work.

The three steps:

  1. find a job which fits your skills and which you feel you’d like to do;
  2. write a CV and send it to your potential employer or employment agency together with an application form or covering letter;
  3. attend an interview.


And then? Well, the next bit is in the hands of whoever it is who decides these things, and it’s beyond your control. But for the bits which ARE within your control, Randstad has some advice:
