Searching for a job during the credit crunch isn’t easy. Many companies have been making cuts wherever they can, cutting down on company positions and making employees redundant. Those who have jobs are doing everything possible to hold on to their positions, while those who don’t are eager to take any employment opportunities that may come their way. So the thought of finding a specific job in a specialised field seems, to many, unlikely - if not almost impossible.

However, even in the midst of a troubled economy, specialised sectors continue to require both experienced and entry level employees. Indeed, some industries have strengthened, needing more employees, while others are taking measures to fine-tune their operations during the credit crunch - which means many require specialists. Alternatively, other types of businesses are working hard to expand their spectrum of expertise based on the demands of the industry - which, once again, means they’re always on the lookout for prospective employees with a diverse set of skills.

So, if the jobs you want are out there, what’s keeping you from finding them? Often, it’s just a matter of searching in the right places and by the right means, ultimately enabling you to hone in on the perfect job.

When searching for a specific type of job it helps to first research whether there are any job sites dedicated to your industry of interest. If there are, you’re likely to find many more positions relevant to your interests. The reason for this is that specialist industry job search sites do half the work for you, right at the outset - that is, they provide you with a resource dedicated to the industry you’re interested in. Then, all you have to do is search for particular positions within that industry. Since the site is dedicated, it’s more likely to return more positions relevant to you.

However, another way to source jobs in a specific field - for example, jobs in energy - is to hone your search by company. If you’re even relatively familiar with an industry, you’re likely to be able to name at least a handful of associated companies. You can always refer to jobs posted by these companies on their own websites, to see if any of them match your skills.

Alternatively, many companies take CVs to keep on file, in case a position that matches should come up. So even if you don’t immediately find a post that’s right for you, it’s still worth sending your cover letter and CV to relevant HR departments, in the event that something becomes available. While the credit crunch has certainly tightened the job market, you shouldn’t feel that you can’t find a job that’s right for you; however, it is important that you use the right tools and look in the appropriate places.

Looking for a job has never been easier. With the convenience of the computer and the internet, you can easily do a job search online. This permits a much broader range of searching options for jobs, as well as more information on what is out there. Instead of picking up a newspaper at the stand every week, you can get online and look through the hundreds of jobs posted on a regional job board. They will typically update it at least several times a week, if not every day, providing a large edge over their competition.

Finding an online job board can be difficult to many, so I have covered some of the top options by region below. While this is by no means a complete listing, these are regional boards that usually have an extensive job listing base.

Jobs in Birmingham:

One of the regional job boards for Birmingham is http://www.mybirminghamjobs.co.uk/. They rely on a search engine set up, but that enables you to set your criteria so that you will have narrowed down the options to something closer to what you truly are looking for.

For a more categorized site check out http://www.myjobsinbirmingham.co.uk/. They have a very easy site to use that is streamlined, categorized, and is kept up to date. The benefit of categorizing is that you can instantly search for jobs that fall under your desired profession, saving a great deal of time and energy.

Jobs in West Midlands:

While there are many jobs available in West Midlands, finding a job board that is specifically for that region is a bit more difficult. The job board at http://www.jobs-midlands.com/ lists hundreds of jobs, but you need to be prepared to spend a bit more time in the navigation of their site, as you will need to perform multiple searches.

The job board http://www.mywestmidlandsjobs.co.uk is a more streamlined job site that still relies on the search engine, but has a clearer set up, and ease of use.

Jobs in Gloucester:

The job board at http://jobs.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/ is probably one of the most categorized sites out available. With over forty-seven job categories, it makes a job search much easier that you would normally expect.

At the job bank http://www.glosjobs.co.uk they list jobs according to the main category, and then have many sub categories. While at first it seems more complicated, it streamlines the process, and keeps you from being overwhelmed at the thousands of listings.

Jobs in Wolverhampton:

Check out http://www.jobseverywhere.co.uk/ and search the region. They list jobs by category, so whether you are a teacher, engineer, in marketing or something else, it simplifies the search for you.

Another great job board is http://myjobsinwolverhampton.co.uk. They are set up specifically for Wolverhampton, and allow you to search by job, and or a specific part of the region. The site is easily navigational, and keeps the job listings updated.

Jobs in Shrewsbury:

Finding a regional job board in Shrewsbury is much more difficult. While there are many general job listing sites, your best bet for a regional job bank is the listing site at http://www.myjobsinshrewsbury.co.uk. They keep things updated enabling you to be sure that what you are looking at are jobs that are still available.

Jobs in Tamworth:

The job board at http://jobs.tamworthherald.co.uk/ has a great setup. With an ease of use and great navigation, this site does a great job of making your job search easy. They update their site often, and also include a search engine in case you prefer that method of searching their site.

Over all you have many options for looking for just the right job. Regional boards are the best option as people in that particular region typically run them; ensuring it to be more relevant to what the area will be like. Another benefit is that because they are regional, companies are more likely to actually post their open job positions on the online site. They also are kept cleared of filled positions, ensuring you the greater possibility of finding a company that will hire you.

While online job boards are great for keeping information at your fingertips, there are some down sides to them. The thing to keep in mind when researching a job online is that you need to apply for the job as soon as you find it. Since it is posted on the web, it reaches a wider range of people, so the sooner you apply, the more likely you are to actually be considered for the position.

Many people are turning more to the internet to find jobs, and as a result employers are enjoying the possibility of posting their jobs on the web. It cuts down on the expense for a company to advertise in paper, as well is bringing more attention to the company. The benefits of online job boards are nearly endless, but if you aren’t used to using them it may take a bit more time for you to learn the differences in set up. Once you have taken the time to figure out how they work, take advantage of this incredible and ever growing job market. While you may miss a job opportunity when you are relying on a newspaper because of the companies listing the job in a different paper, you won’t run into that online. Quite often the same jobs are posted on multiple job boards, ensuring the highest visibility possible.

Instead of waiting for every thing to go online, and running the risk of missing the very job that you have been searching for years, take the time to check out the online jobs. It’s a great market, and a good time to be looking for jobs. More than that, it will be a hint to the company that you a technology savvy, encouraging them to hire you long term. So check it out. Use the incredibly helpful technology that has been developed to help you find that job.

Construction jobs throughout the world rely on contractors to keep costs low while ensuring a high level of quality. Contractors work on an hourly basis and do not require long-term healthcare coverage from construction companies. Many construction companies develop relationships with contractors in certain cities and regions to cut down on travelling expenses for full-time professionals. You can take advantage of this flexibility and reliable source of construction jobs by focussing on a specific area of construction.

There are many roofing contractors who spend their summers hanging shingles from dawn until dusk. Roofing contractors work with subcontractors to complete roofs in a timely manner. Your ability to work in high places for an entire day along with quick hand speed can help you land work as a roofing contractor. It is important to think about the size of residential spaces you can complete with limited help from subcontractors. Construction companies will decrease wages for contractors to ease the costs of hiring subcontractors for timely work.

One of the most lucrative construction jobs available to contractors is laying pipes and fixing plumbing problems. The reason why these jobs pay high wages is the certification requirements set forth by most municipalities. Plumbers need to be familiar with local building codes and environmental regulations before they lay their first pipe underneath a home. You can pursue plumbing licenses and certifications while working other construction jobs to avoid financial hardship as you advance your career.

An area where contractors can land plenty of construction jobs throughout the year is carpentry. A carpenter is involved at the end of home construction projects to lay down tiles, carpet and other flooring. The process of laying down tacks and carpeting glue in large rooms makes carpentry positions simple for young construction professionals. You need to get familiar with unconventional floor plans as well as unique flooring products if you want to land larger jobs as a carpenter.

HVAC professionals can land construction jobs in almost any town on a contract basis due to the rising concern for home heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Contract positions involving HVAC installation and maintenance require professionals well-versed in ventilation, electricity and other elements of construction. There are government and industry regulations that force HVAC professionals to seek certification before they work as a contractor. These jobs pay well and there are plenty of positions offered by construction companies as well as HVAC suppliers.

Duncan Freer asked:


Chancellor Alistair Darling’s Pre-Budget Report (PBR) has been seen as one of the most important packages of government proposals in over a decade. Included in that package were some very positive moves for renewable energy, which could equate to a big increase in ‘green-collar’ jobs - particularly renewable energy jobs, nuclear jobs and other careers in the UK’s energy industries.

The government gave a significant boost to the wind power industry by promising to extend the Renewables Obligation of financial support until 2037. The Renewables Obligation, which places a legal requirement on UK electricity suppliers to source any growing percentage of their power from green sources, was originally only in place until 2027. The Chancellor’s 10-year extension is intended to “ensure investors can plan with confidence for the future”. The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) said that the move was “really encouraging” and would stimulate companies looking at plans to build expensive projects deep into the North Sea. These projects include tidal projects as well as offshore windfarms and other renewable energy sources. This extension of the Renewables Obligation gives these companies a reassurance that the government will be investing in renewable energy, which translates into a greater confidence and business growth, which in turn inevitably leads to more job opportunities.

With government targets for 10% of UK electricity supplies to come from renewable supplies only two years away, the renewable energy industry is pumping investment into new methods of meeting those targets, again all good news for those looking for careers in the UK’s energy market. Nuclear power will be part of that package, so nuclear jobs look set to increase as new stations come online as part of the UK’s long-term plans to meet its energy needs. Despite a real desire for environmental energy to be the key to Britain’s future energy needs, there is a shortfall in supply and demand. It is probable that this shortfall will be taken up by the nuclear industry, whether the public wants it or not. The alternative is a country that cannot meet its own energy demands, so a compromise has to be made.

But not only has the Renewables Obligation been given an additional 10 year lifespan - the Chancellor also announced that the government would be bringing capital spending forward to finance the environmental sector as a whole. Mr. Darling said that this could potentially create one million jobs in the low-carbon industry over the next 20 years, giving the UK a new growth industry that has a long-term future. This obviously means a big increase in the number of potential energy jobs available and a stable career platform for thousands of people. Philip Wolfe, director general of the Renewable Energy Association said that “energy projects are significant undertakings and companies require 15 to 20 years of a stable policy framework stretching ahead of them to give them the confidence to invest.” It is this investment confidence that not only would benefit the environment, but the jobs market as well.

Although the oil industry is in surprisingly fine fettle and currently meets most of our energy demands, renewable energy is the future of both supply and production not just in the UK but globally as well. The Environmental Industries Commission calls on the government to go further, saying that the development and implementation of a long-term growth strategy that includes a clear environmental policy framework, incentives, research funding and skills development is a matter of urgency if the UK is not to be left behind in the race to become a leading low-carbon economy. All of this again bodes well for those seeking careers in the energy industry and renewable energy jobs in particular.
