How can I speed up my job search?

Fast-Tracking Your Job Search

It doesn't matter if you're one of the top freelance creative directors in your field or a brand new web designer, finding a job can take time when you're working for yourself. If you want to fast-track your search for clients, try signing up with a career agency. These organizations already have connections in the field, which means you aren't starting a job search from scratch, as you would be if you did it all by yourself.

Trying to find work on your own means you'll have to spend a lot of time networking, marketing, and sending out proposals. This is not only time-consuming, but it can be expensive as well. Rather than taking this kind of "scatter-shot" approach, signing up with a talent agency means that you'll have someone else looking for you. This way, you can concentrate on things such as refining and polishing your portfolio so that you're ready to interview when the agency finds a promising contract job. It can also help increase your chances of finding work.
