Am I looking in the right places for vacancies?

Been on the hunt for a new role for months now, and having very little luck. It doesn't help that I live in a semi-rural area but I'm happy to commute if required. I've fairly recently moved here for a few reasons and currently without work/living off savings.

95% of the jobs I see on sites like Reed, Monster and Indeed are very particular, skilled jobs that I'm not qualified in any way for, e.g. teacher, accountant, specialist IT roles, labouring jobs etc.

My background is general fraud investigation for the public sector, insurance fraud investigation, internal investigation, loss prevention (but wouldn't call myself an auditor as I have no formal auditing qualifications) and financial crime investigation. I have also worked in the private investigation business, interviewing various parties for civil and criminal cases.

I barely see anything that is remotely suitable. Am I looking in the right places? Are there more specific recruitment websites I should be looking at?

Absolutely tired of spending countless hours searching and only coming across the usual things I've mentioned before, it's very frustrating.

Get registered with as many recruitment agencies that you can find.

Are there any trade organisations / magazines etc you could look at? Possibly those for the accountancy / financial professions.

Have you got yourself onto Linkedin? Sounds like you need to network to find your kind of jobs.
