Although finding a job can be difficult and time consuming here are some things you can do to make it easier.

• Let people know you are looking for a job Around 75% of people find jobs through people they already know instead of online
• Search Company websites Not all companies post their jobs in classified ads or through online job lists.  If you want to work for a specific company check out their website to see their job openings.
• Keep a positive attitude
