The
Internet is the best of the job seeking tools. What did we ever do
before we had it? Any serious job search today MUST include the
intelligent use of the Internet. The benefits of the Internet are in its
vast access to information and the speed with which it can find and
transmit information. The pitfall is that many job seekers expect
miracles and do not use this tool to its full potential.
Find
"Spot Opportunities" Just
by entering a few key words identifying the product or service of your
industry your web browser will locate hundreds of interesting websites
and articles for you to peruse. Compile a list of
“favorite sites”. Find as
many industry associations and interest groups as possible. Serious
job-seekers should search those sites for names and informational
articles to update themselves with the current buzz. You may need to
join some of these organizations. Many business journals and major
newspapers have their own websites as well. Identify
specific companies and key contact persons by using a variety of company
identifying databases the job seeker no longer has to rely on going to
the library to do research from volumes of directories. The info found
online is also more likely to be up to date. Most browsers will suggest
company or business listings and check out the websites for the industry
association that fits your search targets. A good website to try for
public companies nationwide is Hoover's Online (www.
hoovers.com). Review
job openings: Ads, postings on company web-sites or on executive job
search sites A
person can get lost in all of the jobs posted on the Internet. So you
must be smart in using this aspect of the Internet tool. First of all,
remember the jobs posted on the Internet are PUBLISHED! Just like
classified ads. You will be dealing with the gate-keepers, so follow
the procedures suggested in this chapter concerning making contacts
and follow-ups. Review the postings on the web sites of the companies
that you are most interested in and submit your resume.
Postings by Executive Recruiters and many other companies can
be found and selected other sites.
