You could advertise your skills/talents on free classified ads such as Kijiji or whatever else is out there in cyberspace.

You may also want to try this if you have a few bucks to spend:

Advertise in your local newspaper both hardcopy and online -create an eye-catching slogan or something like that.

Get eye-catching business cards printed.

Media Relations. If you think that you have done something special or unique with your work, send a press release to magazines, newspapers, radio stations and online newsgroups. This kind of exposure is free and will help increase public awareness of you and your work. The media is always looking for new and interesting stories, so you may get the chance of being exposed and for free!


Attend shows. It is important to show up whenever a show or an art fair is on. This way you can get your name out and this is also a good opportunity to make contacts.

Get the Employer Hooked!

It’s all about keywords, jargon, conciseness and highlighting the correct words to grab the attention of the employer who is always in a hurry. These recruiters only have 30 seconds at most to glance or browse through your resume. So what would make them stay and read its entirety? Focus on your skills and your qualifications. Always ask yourself, “What would make me suitable for this position?” or better yet, “What can I contribute to this organization?” The answer to these questions should be the center of your resume but summarize them through keywords and highlights. You do not need to provide explicit details - that is what the interview is for! The goal of a well-prepared resume is for you to keep the recruiter interested that they will invite you for an interview.
