Finding A Job

Job hunting can be daunting, especially if you haven't done it for a while. A lot of jobs aren't even advertised; and more and more employers now ask for a CV when they're recruiting.

Via offers a range of Skills Health Checks that can help you discover the most suitable jobs for you. All our Advisors are qualified and trained to offer impartial, confidential and friendly support.

A job search consultation with an advisor will show you where to find the right vacancies and how to apply for them - so you'll come away with everything you need to know, to get the job you want. It can help you to:

  • Understand which job search methods work and why
  • Make the best use of the time you spend job hunting
  • Focus more clearly on your career plans and how to achieve them
  • Understand the local labour market and how your career path fits with it
  • Widen your horizons by thinking about types of work you might not have previously considered

What can we do for you?

If you are looking to find work, change career, gain extra skills or get back in to work after redundancy we can help. 

Via offers a range of free of charge professional and confidential services to help you gain confidence and experience and reach your career goals.
