Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts in the job-search process. You need to make the commitment to do the necessary research, track down the best job opportunities (using every method available to you), and then use your various sales tools (your resume, cover letter, thank-you notes, letters of recommendation, your personality, etc.) to do everything within your power to go after and land the best possible job. 

Accepting a job is like any kind of contract. You have to be clear about what you expect, and the employer has to be clear about what it s offering. As an applicant, you have to take an active role during the interview process and not always believe what people tell you. You have to ask questions. Having a slightly skeptical point of view can be helpful during the job-search process, but you can t come off as cynical or as an untrusting person.

However, it is an empirical question which effect dominates.

Clearly, this is due to the fact that until 2007 in Spain there was an intense activity in construction—infrastructure projects and new houses— which favour the hiring of GEs. Today, with a drastic reduction in budgets for new infrastructures, the GEs should turn their eyes to new horizons, without ruling out the job search outside our borders that some have already successfully tackled.
