Presenting a joined-up overview of the job-hunting process in difficult market conditions, this guide covers the full process from research to CV writing to the interview itself. Its main concerns are how to engage and overcome competition; how to cut down the time spent on applications; and how to ensure more of your applications turn into job opportunities rather than rejection letters.
