Reblogged from Manchester Graduate Careers:
So you're looking for a particular type of job. You've scoured every newspaper and signed up for all the jobsites, and recruitment agencies that you can find. You've applied for every vacancy going or there are no jobs to be found and you are out of options. What else can you do? Apply speculatively.
Applying speculatively means sending your application when an organisation is not advertising a job.
Another great post from our Information Manager, Holly, on how to make speculative applications - particularly important for postgrads chasing specialist posts.
And with that, I'm off on hols for a couple of weeks - see you later in August.
