Other reasons to use ALO
ALO can lend a helping hand when it comes to searching for jobs and preparing for interviews. Use the resources to do some background research into particular companies and key industry trends to make sure you’re battle-ready for your next interview.
Our top tip for using ALO
The database names may make them seem like they are highly subject-specific – for instance ‘only’ covering engineering or management. However, most of them have extensively wide coverage so it’s always worth searching for your chosen topic in all of them. You might be pleasantly surprised by the results that you find!
