Few words based on experience from area with high unemployment rate:
- After some time you will be insanely pissed off by people who judge by your appearance and nice looing CV. Don't let it be seen.
- In small bussinesses you are more often "interviewed" by the guy who will be your boss (rather than specialised recruiter); such guys rarely buy cheap tricks, they often want to check your skills here and now. Especially if the job in question is more technical. Be prepared.
- If there are no jobs available, no amount of self-advertising magic will help you.
