Looking for work is in all respects a full-time job, because it is an activity that takes up your time and resources like a proper job, and as such it must be organised.
Let's try to focus on the tools you have at your disposal to look for a job and what we can do to gain the skills you lack, not just to enrich your CV but also to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively position yourself or reposition yourself in the world of work.
The first step, even before looking for a job, is to ask yourself: "What do I know? What can I do?", trying to answer these questions helps to define your professional goals, that is, to decide and keep clear in your mind what type of work you want to do and orient yourself towards that objective (if you have any doubts about it, you can take advantage of the professional guidance service free of charge at PFLazio, by making a request to the relevant local office).
Once you have defined your objective, you need to understand if you have "all the right cards" to be able to apply, or, on the contrary, if you lack essential or ancillary skills that relate to the achievement of the objective itself. A first clue can be found in the answer to the question: "How do I do what I know how to do and what I know?"
To help you further in this approach, on the INAPP website you can go look at the atlas of work and professions, in which we can look for the one you have decided is your final objective. There are several useful classifications that can be consulted for free online provided by ISTAT and the Lazio Region, and the European ESCO classification, with descriptions of the necessary knowledge, skills, and other important information about every professional role covered. We also suggest consulting the Excelsior Project, which provides residents with the hiring forecasts of companies, with a regional focus.
It is very important to gain awareness of the real demand in the labour market for the professional role that constitutes your objective, and to know which activities the market is willing to pay for. More information about studies on labour market supply and demand, the different types of contracts and incentives for businesses can be found here.
Following this preamble, we can now focus on:

1. what skills am I missing in order to be able to apply with greater chances of success? (this depends on the type of professional role, for example: improving knowledge of languages, acquiring skills in particular applications, knowing and using social media better...). Any gaps can be filled with adequate training, which is available free of charge by projects such as Porta Futuro Lazio;
2. the creation or revision of a CV that is effective and suitable for the position (also by using the free CV check service available at PFLazio).

Once these two points have been taken care of, we can concentrate on the other parts that constitute an active job search, i.e. job search strategies and useful tools and references.

Seminars are regularly held in the Porta Futuro Lazio offices (and online during this period of extraordinary measures for the COVID 19 emergency) that provide extensive recommendations and tools for a successful job search.
