It has been 5 years since i last was looking for work and i am wondering if things have changed much. Is Search Assoc still a good way to go or is applying directly to a school better or...? It seems like things are changing but having been out of the market for a while, I am just not sure...

Any advice would be appreciated, I am currently updating my info on Search but have no plans to attend a fair this time and I wonder if that makes a difference.

A premium agency such as SA or ISS is generally a good investment if you have a broad job search, if you have a narrow or restricted job search you can easily track vacancies directly.

Always follow the instructions in the vacancy but absent that, direct application is more productive than application through premium agency.
