Here are some of the most effective ways to make your online job hunt process,
more effective:
Finding a Hook:
When you see an ad listing a hiring connection, look for the person’s
background. It is not a tough task these days, you can look for any professional
on google and can find their social connections. Try to make a special
connection with that person.
There can be chances that both of you have studied in the same institute. They
can be your senior or junior. You may have some direct or indirect professional
association. Try to find if there is any mean to reach that person with a
personal base.
Linkedin.com is the one of the most appreciated way to look and reach the person
whose name is mentioned in the job offer. It is not a must that you will get
success in searching that person but it will not hurt to give it a try.
Search Your Specific Niche:
Search for your specific niche. Rather than wasting time on random sites, focus
on the sites that offer openings for your field of interest only. For example,
if you have any expertise in wine industry, look for jobs on the websites like
winejob.com.
A website like this, lists the jobs related to production and distribution of
wine and other related jobs. You can also check for the online portals that are
offering jobs with the higher pay or offering jobs from the most trusted
employers (and they obvious to offer market competent salaries). Look for the
sites like careerz360 and apply with your updated resume over there.
Posting Your Resume:
Apart from scanning the best job portals for the ads, consider uploading your
latest resume over there. For many hiring mangers the resume database of these
portals is the first stop. However before doing so, check the privacy policies
of every site and make sure that all the information you are going to share over
there is secure and will not be misused in anyway.
Avoid mentioning your social security number on such sites as it may lead to
serious issues like identity theft. Also if you are currently on job then try
not to apply for the positions with the employers named as anonymous. Try not to
let your current boss know that you are on hunt.
Create Your Candidate Profile:
Most of the online job portals ask you to fill up their candidate profile and
share information like salary expectations, job interest, preferred area of
working and few others. In most cases, if there is any position matching your
demands, you may get an email notification or there are chances that the
employer will contact you directly for the open vacancy.
Sing-up for Job Alerts:
Most of the job provides offer you the services to get registered and get email
notifications about any new posting that meet the criteria of job you are
looking for. You can set the search based on eh preferred salary, location,
timing, and else. You can also select the frequency of the email you will
receive in your inbox.
Using Search Filters:
Many job portals like that of careerz360 which is working on regional basis,
helps the users to refine the search. They allow them to decide and set job
alert according to their preference of the area they want to work in. you can do
the same. Search for categories with sub categories and find the jobs specified
to that search.
Set your preferences and find the best of the open opportunities in the areas
you are willing to consider. The world brings new opportunities, every day, but
to those who are willing to search something new, challenging and inspiring to
them. Are you the one who is willing to get something extraordinary today???
