This will not be easy specially with the current market scenario but, there is always a chance to get a better job offer as employers are still constantly looking for more productive staff to help the companies come out of the crunch.
Organize Your Activities

Network
Enhance your online and offline network by connecting with old colleagues, relatives and friends to get maximum leads to the new job opportunities. Become a part of the clubs and attend other local events where you could expect to meet people in your line of work.
Consult a recruitment agency
Go back to the same recruitment agency that helped you in the first place or contact some new ones for this purpose. You may also attend job fairs to search the new and higher paying job.
Be visible to prospective employers/ recruiters
