Self advertising can be extremely important in terms of gaining the job you desire. Self advertising is taking your recruitment into your own hands. It can take a long time to hear anything back from recruitment agencies, and there’s no harm in you contacting employers directly to see if they have any opportunities. This is where you will need to pitch yourself to potential employees and be direct about it.

Advertising yourself using social media networks can also increase your chances of gaining a job, and it essentially means building up your contacts and making many people aware of your skills and the fact that you’re looking for work. LinkedIn can be an ideal network for building professional contacts, and by spending time building connections with relevant people, you may just get a lucky break.

This type of direct self-advertising can show you’re being more forceful about getting a job, perhaps more passionate and also unique. Even though some employers may not get back to you, they may just keep you on their records, so over part of communication with potential employers is vital.
