Your local library is a rich source of both national and regional papers along with other specialist publications and periodicals featuring both jobs and industry related news.
Specialist Trade Publications And Journals
Employers often advertise job vacancies in specialist trade publications and periodicals. These are an excellent source for both experienced professionals and qualified recent graduates.
Subscription to many specialist publications are either at a reduced rate for members or free. There is usually a professional body tending to its members' interests and advancement for most professions, so if you possess a professional accreditaion you should ordinarily apply for membership to your particular body and subscribe to its publications; never more so than when you job searching.
While specialist publications offer an effective means of targeting specific professional vacancies, the vacancies may be from anywhere in the country, so you may have to consider issues such as distance and possible relocation.
