Online Job Hunting Tips
The internet is a handy, convenient way to find your next job. Maximize what it can offer by following these tips on job hunting through the Internet.
Don’t expect the Internet to be a genie that will magically offer you your dream job. Only 5% of job seekers find their job through the internet alone.
Take advantage of all features each job search site offers, including the resume and advanced job search.
Don’t be passive during your job search. After posting your resume and applying for the job, follow up with each prospective employer with an e-mail.
Don’t respond to job listings you aren’t qualified for, as this will just add to the numerous applications employers need to go through.
Put more than one version of your resume online so that potential employers have 24/7 access to your credentials. Also consider developing an online portfolio, especially if your career is in web design or web development.
Also try going directly to each company’s website, looking through their job openings, and applying for each directly.
