Wherever you go, be alert to meeting people and introducing yourself as a person seeking employment later in the year. Try to use a friend or relative, neighbour, lecturer or former employer to get you an introduction or connection to the employer/s you want to target. Try to get people inside the industry area to give you an idea of where and who to target as the most likely person to provide you with highly relevant information, further connection and/or employment.
