1.Get Qualified. When an employer looks at a CV that person is going to want to see evidence that you are capable of applying yourself, have an ability to learn and have experience of the tool or functional area you are applying for. I cannot stress how important it is to demonstrate to employers that you have that capability. If you have Prince2 Practitioner or your are a qualified ISO 9001 auditor then make sure these are included in your CV. If you feel you have gaps in your IT professional qualifications then do something about it. Don't let that be the reason you are not getting interviews.
2.Know your ITIL. Nearly all service orientated IT
roles these days, especially with medium to large companies, are going to require you to have experience of a or exposure to ITIL. If you are not at least qualified to foundation level then your CV will not get past the first cut. ITIL v3 Foundation Level is the entry level qualification which offers practitioners a general awareness of the key elements, concepts and terminology used in the ITIL Service Lifecycle, including the linkages
between Lifecycle stages, the processes used and their contribution to Service Management practices.
3.Be aggressive when job hunting. One of the most common ways to job hunt these days is to apply to online adverts from sites like job serve.co.uk or monster.com. That is fine and you will find a lot of good stuff out there.
