Job search

Searching for job vacancies has become more convenient nowadays because recruitment advertisements can be found in newspapers, recruitment notices/vacancy boards and the Internet, which has become a popular tool for job hunting by job searchers and recruitment by employers. Templates of application letter and CV can be easily found online for reference. However, please avoid copy-and-pasting the templates! Remember to personalise your cover letter and CV to increase your chance to be interviewed.
