DID YOU KNOW? – 10 Effective Job Search Tips

By Kris Plantrich, Cprw, Ceip
Here is a list of not so common job search tips that you can use to your advantage to get noticed and be as productive as possible during your search. The important thing to remember is to conduct your job search like a job. Work at it every day, develop a plan and stick to it and don't forget to follow up on previous searches. Don't give up, hopefully the tips below will work for you.

1. Did you know Tuesday is the most productive day of the week? What does this mean to you as a job seeker? You can plan Tuesday as the day to network, to make appointments, reorganize job search files, or possibly re-touch on older leads. However you decide to spend your Tuesdays, make sure you take advantage of its’ natural productiveness in the work week.

2. Did you know that as many as 35% of employers are now using your credit report history as a means of judging personal responsibility, especially in occupations dealing directly with money? Something to think about and get in order before you begin your job search or at the least make sure you are aware of what others are finding when checking your credit history. Conducting a credit check on yourself might be a good idea

3. Did you know you could research the current earnings rate for your new position using pay comparison internet sites and increase your negotiating power by being prepared and aware? A couple of helpful sites to search and compare pay per job, industry, or location include www.salary.com, www.salarysearch.com or www.payscale.com

4. Did you know 65 to 70% of jobs are gained through personal referrals or networking connections? So get networking! Make a long list of all your friends, family, past co-workers, bosses, work associates, teachers, and professors. Also include contacts from associations, church or volunteer activities, hobbies, and your children’s schools and activities. Once you have a strong list start making your way through them to let them know what type of job you are interested in.

5. Did you know only an average of 36% of those job hunters interviewed regularly send thank-you notes while 75% of employers appreciate or expect the notes? Not only is it polite but it is a great chance to touch on something specific you talked about during the interview that will help you be remembered.

6. Did you know that over 90% of employers seek their assistant’s opinion when interviewing and making hiring decisions? When calling or visiting in person for an interview make sure to be polite and friendly to the assistants and secretaries in the office. Their impression of you might just get you the job or get you passed by.

7. Did you know business cards are a great way to network? Using a plain and simple card or with a photo works best. They are another great way to be remembered and are a quick and inexpensive career tool. Business cards work especially well when you have your resume posted online and can include the website on your card.

8. Did you know having a mentor can also be another great way to network? I know from experience that having someone more experienced in your industry and field to discuss ideas and questions with can be really valuable. They are also a great networking source as well since they are familiar with your skills, experience, and current objectives and goals.

9. Did you know 60% of large companies do salary planning in the fall? What does this mean to you? First, it is a great time to ask for a raise! If you are already working for a large company a fall raise while budge planning is going on might be easier to work into a budget then at some other time of the year. Secondly, knowing the hiring managers mind is on budgets and hiring needs for the following year they will be more interested in resumes coming in that fit their needs because it might save them money to not include your hire into next years budget.

10. Did you also know that 40% of job cuts announced are in the fall? This may be a great time to have your resume updated and ready – just in case. You will be ahead of the rest of your coworkers with an updated resume if layoffs occur and you need to look for work.

Recruitment Jobs: Creating Effective Adverts For The Internet

By: John Bult
The nature of recruitment advertising has changed dramatically within the last 6 years. During this time I have been in both recruitment, and the jobs board business constantly analysing the effectiveness if different channels to advertise vacancies for both our own medical sales vacancies, and also the recruitment vacancies on our recruitment jobs board.

Without question, internet advertising is now the most effective form of advertising for any recruiter. To clarify ‘effective’, it’s relatively much cheaper than any other form of advertising, in some cases up to ten times cheaper than paper, and it produces more, maybe ten plus times the volume of response. You can read many statistic about how many people would use the internet to find a job. In most markets, I reckon it’s pretty much everyone now. How many people do you know who don’t have a broadband connection (ie. ‘always on’ at a fixed price). Surely most or all of these would browse the internet looking for a job?

One can browse 100s of sector specific jobs over a cup of tea, even a beer in the comfort of your own home, without having to buy magazines and papers each week, in a very short space of time. Find the right sites and you won’t even have to do this, the site will e-mail you or even send you a text when a suitable job is posted.

I’m not so sure that recruitment agencies have yet latched on the magnitude of the change with many still spending huge amounts on paper advertising, when the cost of just one paper advert could cover an array of internet sites which would likely produce so much more. I feel there is still a perception that ‘paper’ advertising is the best medium for creating profile within a market.

In addition to this, the nature of advertising itself is very different and this requires a very different approach. We have noticed that recruitment consultants posting job adverts in the same style as they would have posted a paper advert gain a relatively poor response. The reason for this, we believe, is that a candidate browsing the internet, can view vast numbers of ‘very’ similar jobs in a very short space of time, compared with the relatively slow process of rustling through pages of different adverts to find the one that they want. On the internet, one can set filters to raise a whole basket of matching jobs easily. It them comes down picking a job that stands out.

Unfortunately, the task of writing adverts is not the most exciting of recruitment activities. The consequence is that many jobs are all rather bland, and to the reader might just as well be the same. For example, a typical recruitment consultant vacancy may look like this

Recruitment Consultant Our client requires a graduate with two years recruitment experience. You will have ABC experience and qualifications and be able to achieve 1,2 3 targets.

Firstly here, the title, reads exactly the same as almost every other title for a recruitment consultant vacancy. Secondly, the job itself almost reads like a set of demands simply reeling off a basket of client and job requirements. Consider the following advert on a page with 20 others written as above.

Recruitment with a difference! An open ended bonus structure, excellent career prospects, autonomy within your role and free membership of our neighbouring health club. These are some of the benefits you will receive working for *** Ltd.

Ideally you will have a degree…

In the first instance, this advert will scoop almost all the clicks from the vacancy page in front of all the others. Once on the advert, it will gain a significantly higher application rate. So what are the tangible components of this successful advert which generate the response.

Job titles

The job title needs to look different, plane old ‘recruitment consultant’ just is enticing enough and it will be a numbers game as to how many click this advert. The more ‘personality’ you can give it the better, it just depends how whacky your prepared to make it look. ‘You won’t find a better job than this!’ Will attract a lot more clicks, but may be incompatible and too informal for your corporate style, but the principle stands, the more personality you can give it, the more clicks it will get.

Job content

Jobs which begin with strong candidate ‘benefits’ attract a lot more applications than those which focus simply on client/job requirements. Obviously client and job requirements have to be in the advert, but put them after the candidate benefits. If your not sure how this job should be attractive to a candidate, it’s time to call your client and ask them why people should work for them, rather than somebody else.

If you follow these two basic principles, we reckon you could increase your response five fold.

Good luck

Job Search Trends

By Kelly Liyakasa
As 2007’s crop of college graduates find work or decide to further their education, it leaves one question open for debate: How hard will it be to find a job this fall? According to industry experts and the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, the average American holds nine jobs between the ages of 18 and 34, when compared to Baby Boomers who held around 10. This indicates a huge shift in the attitudes of younger employees in their job search process.

To begin with, more employees are bouncing among different jobs, trying out several career paths and bettering their skills in diverse industries. Who wants a blank resume when they can decorate it with five work experiences, all teaching them new things and requiring different responsibilities? For this reason alone, the job market should see improvement, as employees are more open to change, leaving room for prospectives to take their place when they leave. Many Baby Boomers and their counterparts are coming close to the age of retirement, if they haven’t given in their two-weeks yet already.

This leaves the younger labor force with even more of a chance to excel where their elders passed the torch. Education, health and business services are expected to see the most growth in employment opportunity, according to government statistics.

With promising job market statistics in effect, a beneficial way to land these careers is through job search engines. Technologically-driven graduates are using mega-job search sites such as Monster and CareerBuilder to sift out potential career possibilities that match their skills and interests.

6StarReviews.com reports that Monster even gives job-seekers the benefit of using online networking tools, mobile phone job updates, resume uploads and virtual career advice. In this day and age, complete career resources are available via the Internet. When combined with a new wave of job openings, workers and recent grads are sure to reap the benefits.

Online Recruitment is here to stay

Gone are the days when people used to encircle job listings in newspapers and wait for interview calls. Finding a job in India has become so much easier after the web has entered the public domain, says RK Sachdeva, CEO, Tecumseh India Pvt Ltd. He goes on to add that e-recruitment has a major role to play in the hiring of a manpower of 2000 which is a part of the Indian branch of this multi national company.
The Wikipedia encyclopedia defines the ’World Wide Web’ as a global, read-write information space. Indeed it is this space that has enabled us to connect and interact with people across the globe, in a matter of a few minutes. Amongst the population of these web-users are a number of employees and employers.
In today’s world of liberalization and globalization, the internet provides the workforce with a common platform to interact and communicate. Time plays a very crucial role in the progressive economy and e-recruitment ensures that hiring is a convenient process.
TV18 took up a 50% stake in JobStreet.com India which is an online recruitment company. TimesJobs.com, which is a part of India’s biggest media house The Times of India, broke away from its tie up with Career Builder of the US and has emerged to be the second biggest online recruitment agency. Facts like these establish the point that the Indian workforce is utilizing the web to improve its career prospects.
Employer’s Advantage
Online recruitment is the only medium through which an employer can post a job listing in a few minutes. Responses received are rapid and detailed too. The benefits availed by the employers are various. Employers have the opportunity to provide all the qualifications and characteristics that are necessary for a job. This ensures that only those who are qualified and capable are called for an interview. Right from the initial stages, both parties know and specify exactly what they are looking for. Hence, the time spent on hiring is reduced by as much as 65%. Also, in critical situations, companies can fulfill their manpower requirements through online recruitment portals.
Jobseeker’s Advantage
The jobseekers too can post their resumes on jobsites and receive quick responses to their job applications. You might be satisfied with your current work situation, but you can constantly be a part of the job market and receive updates concerning better options and opportunities. One always has the option of going through the job listings in the mail inbox. The hassle of running around and waiting for interview calls is prevented. You could be sitting in New Delhi and searching for a job in Bangalore or Calcutta. Hence, geographical barriers are broken.
Prevention of bias and inequality
After contact is established between an employee and an employer, the internet ensures that there is quick exchange of information between them. All the candidates are treated equally and merit is the basis on which a person gets a job. Therefore, the process is fair and employees are not victims of personal bias and preferences. Only quality candidates are interviewed through this method. Similarly, since there is no regulation on which companies are allowed to post job listings, big and small companies are alike and can search for qualified candidates through the same medium.
The preparation of resumes and the posting of jobs, the interview calls and the salary negotiations-the procedure involved in hiring remains the same. The internet just ensures that the process is more efficient and beneficial for both the employees and the employers.
Most importantly, this entire process is for free. You do not need to pay any money to post resumes and be a part of the job market. It’s a financially beneficial practice for the employers too.
The Internet and Mobile Association of India conducted a survey on online recruitment and concluded that the number of Indians seeking jobs online is expected to cross 9.2 million in the year 2006-2007. This signifies that online recruitment is definitely here to stay!

A leading USA online jobs portal

By: lazy

When I search for jobs at USA Online Jobs , I have come across some great job offers and have submitted my resume to various companies for review. I was lucky enough to receive several interviews. I have accepted a job with a big company in another area of the United States. I was more than happy to relocate and my family stood behind me one hundred percent. Because I used this job search site, I was able to select what job I would be interested in and in what location I would like to relocate too. Since I am a computer operator analysis, I needed to find employment with a company that still uses in house services.

I was surprised at how easy it was to use the USA Jobs site to search for a job in my field and also all the locations I could choose from without having to browse through jobs I was not interested in or the location. I say it took me about one month to find the perfect job and then it was just a matter of moving my family. The company also helped with this as well, they were more than happy to help pay for some of my relocation fees since they really wanted me to work with their company.

If you need a good place to look for jobs, I recommend USA Online Jobs because of the ease of use and the large database of jobs offered. Even if you are looking for a technical job or an office job, you can find many postings from employers everywhere. You can also have job listings emailed to you when something in your field becomes available. I really enjoyed this nice thing about the job site. If I was out for the day, I could look in my email to see if anything new was available for me to send my resume.

RESPONSE 1

I have to agree with you about USA Online Jobs, I also found the site very helpful in finding employment. I wanted to stay in my own area, therefore I did a search for employers in my city and in a field, I was familiar with just the same. It only took me a couple of weeks and I was once again working. It was nice to have everything in one area and I enjoyed having job announcements emailed to my inbox so I did not have go there every day. I would have say this site has potential to become the number one job search site. I enjoy reading about other people who have had success finding work, therefore I had to stop by and tell you that I was also a success story because I used USA Online Jobs. It is always nice to know we can all find work with the help of the internet.

RESPONSE 2

I am now searching for work on USA Online Jobs and did not know until I read here, that I could have job alerts emailed to my inbox. I thank you for the bit of information. I am actively searching for work in the accounting business and really do not want to leave my home, so it might take me a little longer. My town is small, but I have seen that other areas around me have job opportunities. I hope to be another success story in the near future, which I am confident I will be because there are many different locations to choose from on the job boards. I like to use a few other places as well, but I always seem to have more choices at USA Online Jobs. They seem to have a user-friendly site and I can navigate around it easily. I hope everyone has a favorable time looking for work on this site.

RESPONSE 3

I had to stop by and let you know that I found USA Online Jobs helpful towards finding a home job opportunity. I was surprised to see it there and decided to check it out further. I work for a medical practice with four doctors. I go to their office once every two days to pick up tapes for transcribing and then I return home where I work in my home office.

This was a great opportunity that I found at USA Online Jobs and had to share my story with you. I am not running my own transcribing business and making enough money to support myself without having to sit in a stuff office all day. I like the freedom I have and I would never have found this great job anywhere else, so I think the website is great and I agree with everyone else. It is a nice site to find the perfect job.

Online Job Hunting

By: Maxwell Hurst

There was a time when a person who wanted to find work had to buy newspaper and look through the classified ads section. The advent of the internet has changed that by creating opportunities for people to work either in a different state or in another country.
It has made the world a smaller place rendering it accessible for anyone with a computer to search for a job and apply to it.
There are many sites that offer such services. All the person has to do is open an account, fill up the necessary fields then submit your resume.
These sites usually ask for pertinent information such as the person’s name, age, address, contact number and social security number.
Additional information that will be requested is educational background. Employment history is also another thing that has to be mentioned which includes the job description and highlights that one has experienced during that person’s career. A section in the account will also ask the preferred industry of work, if the person is willing to do field work or open to relocation and the expected salary should one be accepted for the job.
With all the information provided, these sites will then match your qualifications with the jobs available. This service is free and matches can be seen when the person logs on the account or gets a notice via email.
Some sites offer a service with a fee that will place the resume over other applicants giving that person more priority but even that is a not a guarantee that one will get the job.
Online job hunting is not just for professionals. It caters to anyone who wants to work either full time, part time or on a per project basis.
Applying online is not only done through job sites. You can also check the websites of companies that usually have a section on careers to see what openings are available. You simply have to go through the process of giving certain information and uploading your resume.
There are many jobs available in the market. The internet has made it easier for companies to make people aware that there are vacancies available. It has also made it convenient for applicants to apply online instead of walking to an office and dropping of a resume. With everything that is just a mouse click away, all it takes is a little effort on one’s part to sit down in front of a computer and looking for a job.

Let Maxwell Hurst uncover the secrets of Job Aquisition for you. With his expert assistance You Too can land the Job of your Dreams! http://www.jobhunterhandbook.com/
