Many employers are now advertising their vacancies online on specialist websites or online job boards.

Jobs online

Employers will often tell you whether or not you have been successful applying for a job by email. In some cases, this is now the only way that some employers fill their vacancies. For example:

  • most recruitment companies advertise job vacancies online
  • there are currently around 1000 online job boards in the UK

To make sure you keep up with the latest vacancies, you will need to:

  • find ways of having access to the internet
  • have your own email address
  • know how to find vacancies and fill in applications online
