Finding a Job Online
Posted on May 10, 2008 | Filed Under Job Search
It’s the era of the Internet and as far as I’m concerned, there’s not much you can’t do on the Web, from getting the answers to any question your 6-year old can think up, to learning how to unjam a chain saw or install a laundry room sink to, yes… finding a new job.
Sure, the Web is more impersonal, but it also gives you a far greater reach when it comes to finding a job or marketing your talents. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The road online, just like offline, is paved with a lot of hurdles and missteps, if you don’t know what you’re doing.
First off, you need to post your resume at the right job boards for you. Not every job board has every type of job. And the huge ones, while giving you access to lots of jobs and employers, might not be the best place for you, if you have a very unique career or set of job skills.
So take the time to research the job boards before you post, until you’re sure you have the right mix for your situation. Speaking of job boards, have you seen ours? It’s here:

It has tons of job listings. You just might find one you like!
It can be tedious to fill out the forms and post at all of the job boards you want to use. So you can also look at a resume submission service, like Resume Rabbit.
And remember… you’ll still need to do your follow up. Although the Internet provides a lot of opportunities for research, information, and applying for jobs, you still have to write targeted cover letters and thank you letters and perform well in job interviews.
To your success,
