Welcome to Week 6. Last week, you considered your own networks and how you can use networking to find out more about your sector. You also thought about how to manage your online profile on social media. This week, you’ll be looking more closely at different types of employer, highlighting the pros and cons of these employers from your own perspective and identifying which is right for you. You’ll also explore how and where jobs are advertised, find out what is meant by the hidden job market and consider the advantages and disadvantages of speculative applications. Finally, you’ll look into the area of self-employment and think about whether this might be something which appeals to you.
