And keep your ear to the ground. Badger all the people you know who are now working in archaeology, obviously the most senior the better. Don't just ask about jobs in their company, but often folk will intimately know the business of several units in the area. Often people chat in the pub, about how such and such a unit has won a tender, and has loads of work at such a date. There are strong regional arrangements like this, though it can be hard to find out when work is actually coming up if you don't have someone on the inside. This is how I got the job I'm in now, which is more or less keeping me in food, booze and loan repayments.
Good luck to us all.
