In this final part of this review we will look at specific strategies for generating quality job leads in the professions listed above.Get Connected To Your Network:
Assemble an email to your network of work associates, personal contacts, and business associates. Let them know that you are in a career transition and would be grateful for referrals if accessible. Include a short cover letter outlining your job interests and top skill sets. Thank them for their thoughts but do not pressure them for immediate responses. Let them know how they can reach you and thank them for their friendship.
Build A List Of Your Top 10 Job Sites:
Single out ten targeted jobsites that organizations and recruiters use to announce the type of employment opportunities you desire and the part of the country that you seek to live in. Include a few of the well know job boards like Monster and Career Builder. Now expand your search to include niche job sites that cater to your industry specifically. For instance if you desire an accounting job then seek out job boards that focus specifically on accounting job opportunities. Consider creating a few different resumes that are customized to a specific niche or occupation. Set up job search agents that send email alerts to you when a match is found.
Add A few Jobs Aggregators To Your Arsenal:
Jobs Aggregators are specialized online employment portals that scrape jobs from the top jobs and centralized the listing in a convenient search engine for you to use. Jobs Aggregators can save you an enormous amount of time and energy by bringing jobs leads into a single source search engine. Popular Job Aggregators include SimplyHired, Indeed, LinkUp.com, and JustJobs.com.
Consider Using Direct Employer Websites:
Many of the jobs posted on the most well known job sites are submitted by executive recruiters and employment agencies. The companies charge employers a hefty premium for a placement and therefore the jobs they post tend to have very specific skill and work history requirements. As an alternative you may want to consider exploring job boards that employer centric. For example
DirectEmployers.com hosts jobs that are compiled directly from company sites. Submit an application to one of these sites and you likely to get a call directly from the HR representative or hiring manager.
Contact Companies Directly:
Websites like Hoover.com provide detailed employer contacts and a financial analyst of the wellbeing of many of your targeted choices. You can also attain corporation contact information at the public library or on sites like GlassDoor.com and Vault.com. Another great source of company information is Yahoo.Finance.com. Research specific companies that meet your work requirement and use some of the above sources to secure contacts name. Other sources of contacts can be found on sites like LinkedIn for a nominal fee.
Automate Your Job Search:
Consider some of the tools that can electronically distribute you resume to a group of targeted executive recruiters. Avoid blasting your resume to a large group of contacts that are not dedicated to hiring individuals with your specific industry requirements. Look for services that display the list of recruiters and can build the list by professional search type and geographic region. Look for services that can provide you with a list of contacts to follow up on after the electronic submission.
A few businesses offer services where they will dispatch your resume automatically to 80 or more jobsites with one submission. Before submitting your resume check to see if the vendor can provide a list of the web sites that your resume will be sent to. Beware that many of these site are plainly resume repositories that will look to exploit on your resume by selling your name to and resume content to private companies. Look for established websites that your work associates may have used before. Determine if the service has an online chat service that can answer questions or direct you to live support person. Ask if the service will provide you with a report of the sites that your resume gets posted to.
