Using your term break effectively

Now Easter is nearly upon us most of you will be on your term break. Surprisingly during these periods we normally see activity slow down as most students choose to either take it easy or tie up deadlines. If you're the savvy type you'll be using this gap to your advantage by re-assessing yourself and getting back into the job scene. Try taking one or two days out to look through feedback, read back through your CVs, work out where you have been looking and form a new direction which you haven't tried. Searching for a job online can be laborious when there is so much to get through, but in this marketplace it's still an absolute necessity if you want to find a good selection to apply to - especially if you're preferences are quite particular. Remember to always take notes on the different places you search, what industries are looking for, the jobs they have and the advice they may give - but form your own conclusions. It's these notes that can be re-worked back into your job search to help you become more refined.
