Most people who are looking for jobs usually get their leads from the classified ads. This could either be in traditional form, e.g. newspapers or trade magazines, or it could be in electronic media, specifically, web sites.
But there is also another effective avenue for getting information on job openings – your own social circle.

This can make or break you in your future job hunting exploits for you might not believe it but people do actually check up on your character references. Companies, usually the big ones do background checks and spend a lot of time and resources in getting the people they want. They even go to the extent of giving better offers for highly qualified people they know they need and have to get into their ranks. Large companies have certain positions reserved for industry leaders and experts which they go out of their way in signifying their intent of hiring.

Decide on which jobs you want, which company you want to work for and do your homework.
