Top 10 Job Searching Tips

Top Ten Job Searching Tips How many of these have you read? Here we go again, but this time I am concentrating on those matters which have emerged over the last two to three years, that we often neglected or failed to use in the past; mainly it's to do with new technology.
1. Get a professional email address.

Ditch the babyangel@gmail.com. Now is the time to professionalise yourself, use your proper name or professional name.

2. Google yourself.
Sounds egotistic doesn't it? But just in case you wrote something many years ago, and it raises its head to bite you in the foot, it is better to check what is out there on you in cyber space. Also while we are at it, blog your email address, telephone number and address as well, all these can leave a digital footprint exposing yourself to other information .

3. Add your email address to your CV or resume.
How many times do I see this omission?

4. Start blogging.
This is a free way of getting yourself known and building your profile.

5. Register on online job sites.

There are many: seek.com, TradeMe/jobs.co.nz, and also check out your local newspaper online listings.

6. Use social networking sites to your advantage.
Make a special professional Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Bebo etc account specifically to your work environment, keep your personal social networks to your friends.

7. Network.
Join societies, organisations and clubs associated to your career. Check out the Yellow Pages and online directories to see what is available, then network with these people.

8. Specialize - Become a Subject Matter Expert.
A sophisticated society has many specialist roles, therefore, the more specialised you are or can become, the more expertise you can provide, and more value to an employer's team. But don't forget to be a generalist in all areas connected with your career.

9. Lead from your strengths.
If you know what you are good at, or above average, or just brilliant at ... then move from that area first. If you are good at public speaking then use that as your primary form of accentuating your strengths.

10. Mitigate your weaknesses.
Similar to number nine. Play down your weaknesses. Avoid (especially in those first couple of meetings) those things that you are not so good at, or generally don't like doing.

Employment - Searching Jobs Online

Job searching can get very tricky sometimes. You have to know exactly what it is that you are looking for. You never want to go out and look for just any job because you don't have one. You have to find out what you are good at and what it is needed in the workplace right now. If you can support what is needed, then you are in the zone.

Thanks to the rise of technology over the years, it has become easier for people to find jobs out there. Using the internet to your advantage can get you the best chance of landing a job sometimes. Searching jobs online can help you find out where the demand is and where you fit into it. There was a time where it would take a person literally several months to find a job offline. This is regardless if there was a recession or not. The main reason was because you had to network, ask around and have great connections in order to get the most out of a job search. Now with the internet on the scene, you can gain access to jobs faster than ever before.

When you are looking for jobs online, you will want to look for major staffing agency sites or find career sites like career builder, or monster. You will also want to look up directories that supply a database full of jobs and employers around the country. There shouldn't be any excuse for anyone not being able to find a job online.

If you are looking for resources to find a job today, look at my blog and take advantage of the many resources that are available. I have resume servicing sites, employment sites and tips on how to be prepared for that next major move.
