How to Find Jobs That Suit You Like a Pro
Posted on 18. Feb, 2011 by Avery in job search help
Though jobsites such as CareerBuilder and Monster can be part of your job search strategy, you should expand. These sites aren’t bad, but they don’t provide the best job search strategy either. This is because these are mainstream websites that receive hundreds of applicants to one job posting. This makes some good companies not post job openings on these job sites.
Raise your job search to an executive level by seeking job search help through your local copy of the Book of Lists. Published by the Biz Journals, the Book of Lists is a guide to the most prominent companies in various major cities. It provides coverage on several industries, including information such as companies’ revenues, websites, phone numbers, and presidents’ names.
The Book of Lists is an excellent source for jobseekers for three reasons. First, most businesses are bypassing advertising in the classified ads and search engines. This is to narrow their selection of candidates by experience in hopes of attracting professionals. Second, the Book of Lists provides current information on businesses – unlike classified ads and search engines. They only post ads. If you’re applying to a business, you need to know every detail happening at the business. You may decide that based on those details, certain companies aren’t right for you. And third, with all the information provided in the Book of Lists, you can network with the movers and shakers of your industry – a good advantage when seeking employment.
In other words, the Book of Lists goes beyond the regular job search. It keeps you connected in your industry. This is definite plus for a 21st century job search strategy.
Glassdoor.com is another great job search strategy. This website offers detailed information on companies such as CEO approval rating, salaries, company reviews, employees’ satisfaction, and more. You can also read Real-time reviews. So if you want to know the pros and cons about a company, this is the go-to website for this information.
Yelp.com works similar to Glassdoor.com. A social networking website, Yelp.com web visitors can read reviews and ask other web visitors questions about a business for employment purposes.
Glassdoor.com and Yelp.com can both be helpful websites to jobseekers seeking online job search help.
