Help Wanted: Jobs Are All Around You If You Know How To Find Them

February 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment

As a professional recruiter, I used to spend a lot of the last few years effort watching the market to see which companies are now hiring. Jobs in the current market have gotten somewhat less easy to find, but the good news is that if you know where to look there are still plenty of jobs available! The article below will help give you an edge over your job seeking competition!

Now Hiring: Jobs on the Internet

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past ten years, you should know that a lot of companies are now posting their open positions on the internet. Thousands of people every day use the internet for looking for a job online. You’ve most likely already heard of Monster.com, but did you know there are many other online job search engines that post over 300,000 new jobs every month? Other than some specialized services that focus on executive level and other very high paying jobs, most online employment sites are completely free to use.

Even better, they will often send jobs that match your specific search criteria directly to your email box! When you create a new account at these sites you will have the option to create an automated email search agent. You can define specific keywords, locations, and industries that are related to the jobs you want, and within hours have great jobs appearing right in your email.

Keep in mind, not every company will post their jobs to every one of the online employment sites, so you will benefit by signing up with as many of these sites you can find. This can sometimes create a bit of information overload, as you will be receiving five or more emails every day! To manage these emails and keep your job search running as efficiently as possible, you will need a good system for organizing all of the jobs you receive, and keeping track of your process for applying and following up to the jobs you want.
