    web-sites of course.

    No good using buillding-sites, battle-sites, camp-sites, or picnic-sites, as they will get you nowhere,

    indeed.co.uk
    I sometimes use universal jobmatch aswell. But indeed tends to display jobs posted on other sites. Im also registered to various other sites just to apply for the odd job here and there. No idea what they are now tho.
    Sometimes my advice may not be great, but I'm not perfect and I do try my best. Please take this into account.

    Some great responses guys. This site is supposed to help people not remark with sarcastic comments. Try Indeed, totaljobs, CV library & reed.They are the 4 that I use.

    Put the word out on Twitter, Facebook etc, with a link to a blog with info about your skills experience etc.

    Most regularly updated listing sites that I used were-
    https://www.reed.co.uk
    https://www.totaljobs.com

    NB: Competition for jobs is fierce, so make sure you STAND OUT!
    breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??
  • It depends on what job you are looking for but job niche sites are better less competition
    For IT, HR jobs try recruitgo.co.uk.

    I'm one of the 20-odd million subscribers to LinkedIn, which is really a social media site for businesspeople.

    Joining is free and there are literally hundreds of recruiters who use it and a whole jobs section where they advertise the jobs they have, plus companies post jobs they're hiring directly for.

    I have found LinkedIn to be vastly superior to all the job boards and websites out there and have found my last 3 jobs using it.

    One good technique is to research the sort of companies you want to work for, find out who the MD, Sales Director, Head of HR is and send them an "InMail" asking if they're hiring. These InMails do cost but they go directly to the recipient's personal email address so certain to get to them.

    I generally don't bother with recruiters full stop.
