Research: Finding potential roles

In the next activity, you’re going to be looking at how to apply for jobs and it will be helpful for you to look at a few different job adverts to think more about the kinds of skills which recruiters are looking for, especially in the areas which sounds the most interesting to you.

For now, use some time to find three different job adverts which sound interesting to you; these don’t need to be local to you. Take some time to read through them and think about the skills that they are asking for.

This work will be useful in the next activity as you learn more about applying for jobs.

Indeed A job site which has many different companies advertising for staff.
