How You Can Use The Internet In Your Job Search
If you haven't already starting using the internet to assist you
in the job search, then you are missing out on a huge employment
trend. There are numerous reasons to take advantage of this
powerful tool, the most important one being that employers are
using the internet more than ever to find candidates. If recent
internet usage studies are accurate, nearly 48% of businesses do
at least some of their recruiting online. Not utilizing the
internet in your job search means that you are flying under the
radar for many potential job opportunities.
The internet is useful for a number of job search-related
activities including: -- Searching for Jobs Online -- Posting
your Resume Online -- Networking -- Company Research
Searching for Jobs Online
Million of job openings are posted online each year, many times
more openings that you could possibly access on your own outside
of the internet. There are a number of general employment sites
that allow postings in all professions, industries, and
experience levels. These sites are very large in both size and
scope, but are popular with employers and job seekers alike.
If you are able to narrow your job search to a specific
profession or industry, niche sites will be incredibly valuable.
Niche sites are those websites that specialize in a particular
industry or profession, as opposed to allowing for the postings
of any position imaginable. The advantages of using a niche site
are (1) that you will not need to sort through nearly as many
job openings to find those that fit your qualifications, and (2)
that traffic is much less at niche sites. As a result, the
competition for these positions is not nearly as fierce.
Examples of niche sites in particular fields include: -- For
Human Resource Professionals: SHRM (http://www.shrm.org) -- For
Teaching Professionals: Teaching Jobs
(http://www.teachingjobs.com) -- For Medical Professionals: Med
Search (http://www.medsearch.com) -- For Accounting
Professionals: Accounting Job Search (http://www.accounting.com)
In addition to standard online job boards, many government
agencies (from the local to federal level) now list all
available positions online. Companies with corporate websites
also frequently post any job openings on the company's job
announcement board. You can use any major internet search engine
such as Google or Yahoo to find a specific government or company
website.
A final note on online job searches: a large majority of
newspapers with widespread circulation publish classified ads,
including job openings, on the internet now. These ads can be
accessed for free in most cases, and will give you direct access
to any local position openings.
Posting your Resume Online
Resume banks
are large online databases that allow you to post
your resume to be accessed by recruiters and potential
employers. The advantage to keeping a copy (or copies) of your
resume online in a visible location is that allows employers
actively seeking candidates to consider your credentials without
you having to submit your resume directly to the company.
Individuals worried about confidentiality can opt to leave
personal identifying information off of the resume and simply
provide an anonymous email address at which interested employers
can reach them.
Many job boards also have resume banks, so take the time to
browse around your favorite job sites to determine your options
for posting your resume. Resumes can frequently be uploaded
directly to the site or cut and pasted for quick posting. In the
event that the site does not support this technology (or if you
only have a hard copy of your resume), you will need to manually
enter your resume into the site by filling out a form or typing
into a pre-designated text box.
Technically-savvy job seekers may also choose to post their
resume on their own hosted website, on a free personal site
provided by your Internet Service Provider, or on a company
website (such as Careerhunters.com) for a small fee.
Networking
Networking is one of the most successful ways to find a new job,
since personal relationships often lead to opportunities that
you might have otherwise never knew existed. The internet offers
innumerable opportunities to network with other professionals in
your field. Online forums, newsgroups, and professional
journals/blogs allow you to connect with professionals who may
be able to point you (and your job search) in the right
direction. You may even be able to find a mentor to help guide
you in your career development.
Company Research
The internet is a powerful tool for conducting research on a
specific company in which you are interested. Using a major
search engine to scour the web for information on a company will
turn up a company's corporate webpage (if they have one) as well
as a variety of other web sources disclosing information that
may be highly pertinent to your job search. Use the internet,
for example, to research the company's products and services,
industry, competitors, financial information, history, and
reputation.
