Legendary life-work planner, Richard Bolles, states 85% of all successful job search candidates land a job by finding the best fit doing a life directed search. This means they perform a search based on their skills, talents, knowledge and expertise and find an industry that needs them. But finding a job does not guarantee job satisfaction. To land a job and be satisfied, begin with evaluating your views and values. What is your approach to work? What are you looking for in a job? Do you see your job as a paycheck? Advancement? Prestige? Fulfilling your destiny?

Here’s a 3 step process to identifying your work approach:

1. A Career is largely viewed as a profession requiring special training. If you view work as a career you are satisfied with advancement, prestige and prominence. Even though money is important you are likely more interested in expanding your sphere of influence. If this is your work approach, make a list of what it will take to keep you visible for future promotion opportunities. Keep track of accomplishments, maintain a schedule of networking events and learn the art of self-promotion.
2. Maybe you view your career as a Vocation. In this work approach you see your daily tasks as a strong inclination to follow a particular career. You recognize what your talents are and work hard to ensure you autograph your work with excellence. On a spiritual level you understand the WHY behind WHAT you do. If this is your approach to work and you are not doing work that you enjoy, this could be a source of major stress and discontent. Perform informational interviews and self assessments to discover which work brings you the most satisfaction. Work with a coach to help you find your profitable career path.
3. Do you simply see your job as a means of paying the bills? Then your work approach is limited to financial rewards. A Job defined by Dictionary.com is a specific task done as part of the routine of one’s occupation or for an agreed price. If you are not earning enough for this job then you are likely to not be satisfied. You may sometimes feel like you are in a holding pattern until the next opportunity comes along. If you are trying to balance financial rewards with job satisfaction then choosing a career is your next step. Invest in yourself and take the time to find out what interests you, what you are suited to and get moving to the life you were meant to have.

With expert guidance you too can discover your perfect career and find job satisfaction. All three work approaches are important for job satisfaction. As of January 2010 45% of Americans were satisfied with their job. Staying true to your values and what’s important to you will keep you on the path to having a satisfying career. Remember your view of your job determines the strategy you use to improve your satisfaction. Take bold steps to fix the problem.

During the economic meltdown in the past two years many workers lost their jobs. The sharp reduction in the financial worth of key financial assets such as, properties, shares etc., led to a depletion of monetary resources to keep many firms in business. This financial crisis has had serious and even damaging effects on the strong and mighty in the financial world. Considering how severely big businesses were adversely affected, many smaller businesses were washed away from the markets by the flood of financial woe and meltdown. London being one of the major financial capitals in the world was not left unscathed by this misfortune, but still strives to recover from its effects and aftermath problems. These have made the job market an uneasy and sometimes fierce battleground.

The five most popular and effective ways to find jobs vacancies in London are through the following.

1. Friends and Word of Mouth: Your first step in finding a job in London is to be open about your desire to find a job and speak to people. The world is still largely a place where who you know is as important as what you know. Speak to your friends, family and sometimes people you meet along the way. You may join forums that deal with your business niche. Do you have friends in positions that will be helpful to you? Even if you do not know anyone in such a position, your friends and other people may have those connections. If you are able to gather the right and timely information through word of mouth it stands a good chance of giving you a positive edge in the job market.

2. Job Centre: The next step would be to visit your local ‘Job Centre’. There are very many ‘Job Centre’ offices in London and at least one in every local area. You will find people who are paid and willing to help you in your job search. They have resources that will help you find jobs in London that suit your skills and training. They also have a database of employers who advertise job vacancies in London through their various ‘Job Centre’ offices and website. You may also be eligible to receive certain financial help during your job search.

3. Recruitment Agencies: It is highly advised that you register with as many recruitment agencies as possible, especially the ones who deal with job vacancies in London for your specific need. When you register in some of these recruitment agencies, you may be asked to undergo an aptitude test or some sort of other short test depending on the job niche. In registering you may also need to confidentially give them some personal information about yourself. I do not know of any recruitment agency that does not adhere to data protection laws. If you are concerned about these do not hesitate to ask about their data protection policy. Creating a good rapport with recruitment consultants will make them remember you and hopefully inform you immediately a vacancy arises. Some might place you on a waiting list. Make sure you check in from time to time to make sure your file does not become forgotten paperwork.

A few recruitment agencies in London which will be helpful include Manpower 52 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6RB, Reed 9 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6XF, Adecco 351 Oxford Street, London, W1C 2JF, Office Angels 25-27 Oxford Street, London, W1D 2DW? etc.

4. Newspapers: In London there are a few free newspapers which have job vacancy advertisements. Examples of such free newspapers are the ‘London Lite’ and ‘London Paper’. You can also buy some magazines, news papers and brochures which advertise job vacancies. The ‘London Loot’ is one of such papers. During the past Christmas holidays, the London Loot paper featured a wide list of job vacancies in the Brixton Area of London. A few newspapers advertise specific job vacancies in London on certain days of the week. You may want to note that and pick up a newspaper on the day when vacancies within your job search area are being advertised. Other newspapers which advertise job vacancies in London are the ‘London Times’, ‘Guardian’, ‘Daily Telegraph’ etc.

5. Online Job Websites: The internet is ever increasing as a major source for information. There are websites dedicated to job advertising and job searches.
