L

ooking for work is
never easy, even in a
strong job market.
The UK jobless rate
held steady at a near 11-year low
of 4.9% in the three months to
August, according to the Office
for National Statistics.
'These figures show employment
continued to grow over the summer
and vacancies remain at high levels,
suggesting continuing confidence in the economy,' the ONS said.
This is potentially good news for all of you. However, some areas
(care) are recruiting more than others (banking).
We've put lots of career suggestions in this issue, from teaching,
to construction and manufacturing. Perhaps you'll be inspired to
apply for a job in a field that you haven't considered before?
The days of finding employment after school or college and
staying in that sector until retirement are long gone for most of
us. Recent research shows that most young people try multiple
jobs before they settle on one to follow as a career. And even then
they may hold 10-14 different roles throughout their lives.
So don't put too much pressure on yourself if you're still unsure
of what path to take. Whatever job you decide on, it's not set in
stone, and if you discover that you're unsatisfied a few years down
the line, you can retrain and change direction.
We've also included lots of practical advice on applying for jobs
and aceing interviews. Good luck forging your career path.
