Promising and exciting career awaits youJob Vacancies is a website dedicated to helping you at all stages of your working life. Whether you’re just setting out and are wondering how to go about breaking into the world of work, desperately trying to find a job, any job, or whether you are a seasoned veteran looking to fine-tune your interview skills, you will discover a wealth of invaluable jobs information and careers advice here.

But that’s a lot of words, so, what do we really do?


Latest Job News

We’ll say it as it really is and you’ll never find us being some politician’s mouthpiece. This is no podium for an attempt at justifying a bloated expense account, this is hard-arsed news about things that matter to you, the jobseeker. We tell you where jobs are and where they aren’t, who’s offering training and who’s sending out redundancy letters. You’ll also be treated to the odd bit of editorial to set you thinking. If you’re after employment and you aren’t sure where to look, look here first.

Careers Advice

Don’t know what to do with yourself? If you haven’t got a specific vocation in mind, we discuss what’s around, look at salaries, qualifications, training, and just about everything you need to get you on the route to the top in whatever field takes your fancy.

Even if you’ve never had a job before or you’re still at school, we’ll give you advice and help about how to make the most of the skills and qualifications you’ve got – no matter how minimal they might be.

Find A New Occupation

Job Vacancies, Careers Advice And Latest Job NewsMaybe you’re thinking about leaving the regular 9 to 5 behind and emigrating? We advise on working abroad and living the dream (or nightmare as it can also be) but you won’t find us chinking wine glasses against a sunset backdrop. Perhaps you’d like to get a job as an entertainer at a holiday camp or serve meals on a cruise ship? That’s all here, too!

Company Reviews

We look at the major employers and what they offer by way of job vacancies – both in the UK and in the US. We investigate their often tortuous application processes (often a bit like an SAS Survival course – get to the end and we’ll take you on). We’ll tell you about bonuses, holidays, benefits and everything you need to make an informed choice about who is going to provide you with your livelihood.

The World Of Work

Fed up with the way the boss treats you or perhaps you are the boss and you’re sick of how your employees treat you? We cast a critical, if occasionally world-weary and jaundiced, eye over what’s going on in the jobs market. In fact, even if you’re settled in work and wondering what you’re doing on a job vacancies website, you’ll still always find something to make you go ‘mmm’ here.

Stack The Odds In Your Favour

Wonder why some people just walk into the best-paid jobs? An experienced recruitment officer explains the tips and tricks of the trade. Don’t just ‘apply for job vacancies’ and hope, or go along to interviews with your tail between your legs, start off with the expectation of actually being offered the job. For example, are you left tongue-tied when asked, “Why do you want this job?” or variations on the theme? Don’t be. We’ll tell you how to come up with an answer that will have the interviewer wanting to cancel the other appointments.

Most of the time there is nothing magical in the selection process – it’s just down to commonsense and a bit of graft beforehand. Once we’ve started you down the path to enlightenment, there will be no stopping you.

But, best of all, we’ll talk you through getting those job offers rolling in and we won’t even charge you for the privilege!

Our aim is to be thought-provoking, constructively critical, inventive and decisive about anything career, work or business related. There’s no space here for the mindless filler that other sites use to choke their pages with.

With years of experience of recruitment, sales, the commercial world and seeing things from both the employer’s and the employee’s point of view, we are:

It seems that the British public are out in force once again; all of them in search of that mythical creature that’s rumoured to make its presence known at this time of [...]
