How to Do an Excellent Online Job Search


By Ramon Tarruella

Find and respond to online job ads.

Based on today's search oriented society, the first thing anyone will do when starting a job search is find and respond online job ads. It's all about typing a few search terms that describe the type of job you want, applying for anything that comes up, applying for jib interviews and get the job after one or maybe two weeks. Unfortunately, most of the times, it doesn't work like that. Finding a job nowadays require a little more effort.

Takes some time to analyze all available job offers.

It takes some time to analyze all available job offers, understand which ones match your profile. That's why you can't just rely on the job title. Many applicants that go this way (not analyzing the job post thoroughly) end up being rejected in job interviews. So it's important to understand to not apply to anything and everything.

Here are some tips you can apply when doing your online job search:

1) Check out company websites.

If there's a company you'll like to work for, check their website. Most of the times you will find a section called "Careers". This section allows you to apply for a position even if they are not hiring at that moment. By doing this, the company will notice your desire of working with them, thus this may give you extra points, over other applicants, when a new position opens. Most of the times companies love to hire professional that has a connection or a value associated with their company. Being fond of the company is about being fond of their culture and also the brand. When you fill the online application form, let them know in one of the form fields, that you have a real understanding of the company.

2) Visit job search websites.

The following sites: Monster.com, Indeed.com, Craigslist.org and CareerBuilder.com are excellent resources for finding a job. Their search engines let you find by keyword, location, category, salary, etc. Some of these sites have career resources and some of them even let you post your resume online. These sites post hundreds and even thousands of jobs, so make sure you visit them on a regular basis.

3) Use Google to search.

You may type "nursing jobs in Toronto, Ontario", for example, and check what Google gives you back. You'll notice most of the links point to the job platform sites listed above and also sites you haven't check out yet. Change the Google search terms a bit to get even more live results.

4) Use job boards.

Several companies browse online job boards for potential new qualified employees. Post in the job boards related to your skill sets, this way you'll get better chances you get hired for your dream job by these companies. In case the job board allow members to post their resumes, make sure you post yours. Choosing a very catchy and professional headline, will increase the chances of being picked by employers.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
