Looking For A Job?
If you are looking for a job, you can look online, but don't expect that it will
come easily. You will need to register with many areas, and keep checking for
new jobs that come up. You should sign up with various temp agencies in your area -
many have sites and send email updates of job openings. Find recruiters and headhunters who
specialize in your are of job expertise - they are hooked up to businesses
hiring people. Always be wary of those who require a fee in order to work with
you - often they are not reputable - get references first.
In all honesty, for most people and
jobs - the best way to find a job is to network - talk to people you know who
work at the type of places you want to find a job at. Meet more people there. Sometimes
you can make a good impression and even create a new job using your talents. The
trick is that people need to KNOW you are there and have the talent. You need
exposure. Talk to everyone you know - people always know other people who can be useful
to you. Go to job fairs, go to events, visit and learn about the companies
you are interested in (you especially need to study up if you are looking to
interview - the more you understand the company, the better your presentation will
be about what you have to offer to the company). Also, don't forget to talk to others looking for
a job - there are many ideas that work and don't work, plus leads others can't use.
Prepare your resume and get it posted online and sent to people and employers who will look
it over. Register it in as many places as you can. Prepare a 1-2 paragraph profile of your
experience and your wants in a job. Prepare a 1 minute "commercial" that you can use
when you meet people - you have to say it in a minute for effect. Many networking
groups go around the group and that one minute is all you have - make it a good
one minute talk. Discuss your job skills, and your job aspiration - without the "fluff."

are specific job types for specific skills. You might even jog your mind into thinking of a new career. See the
listings and post your resume.
