5 FASTEST WAYS TO FIND A JOB

5 FASTEST WAYS TO FIND A JOB


1) JOB ALERTS- Simplyhired.com and Indeed.com allow you to setup numerous job alerts based on keywords and can also be setup with an exact phrase. For example, if your interest is internet marketing positions for MBA’s, setup an alert that says internet marketing MBA and every job with that combination will be sent to you daily or weekly.


2) LINKEDIN- Linkedin is probably the most awesome thing in the world for finding jobs. Linkedin can help you find hiring managers, contact info and more. Here’s some cool ways to get right in touch with people.

· Find a job on indeed or simplyhired

· Do a search for the title/department and company on Linkedin

· Make a list of names



4) FACEBOOK- Today with massive growth of Web 2.0, companies are setting up Facebook pages constantly. Many are even recruiting from Facebook. Do a simple search under Facebook groups and you’ll see groups dedicated to careers with specific people you can reach out to.


5) JOB BOARD FORUMS- Simplyhired and Indeed.com have discussion forums on companies. Sometimes you’ll even find recruiters there looking for resumes.
