	Employment considerations To succeed in the employment market it is best to start with a clear understanding of the routes to employment and the means of finding and securing employment. Everyone would prefer a career that he/she enjoys 100% but in reality most of us have to compromise and find one which contains as many of our likes and as few of our dislikes as possible. Whether a young person is leaving school or college, or facing a career change, before any choice of career can be made it is necessary to answer some of these fundamental questions. Getting a job is not an easy business and requires patience, effort and hard work. It can also be a lonely experience but tackled in the right way it can bring its own rewards. These pages aim to help you answer some of them.
	Job hunting Effective job hunting is not a haphazard process. It follows a series of logical stages: writing letters filling out job application forms attending interviews possibly sitting some tests It also involves competition; being selected before other applicants who are all chasing that same job!
