Introduction • The Internet has made job search easier than ever. Now you can look for a job while at work, on the go or while enjoying a cup of coffee. With the increasing dominance of mobile Internet, you can access job related information from your devices anytime you wish to.
Get clear on What You Want • Before starting your job search, take the time to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses and the type of work you enjoy doing. • The better you know yourself, the more likely you’ll find a new job that provides you with greater satisfaction. • What do you want in a job? What’s most important, title, money, promotion, the work itself, location, or company culture?
Research Your Target Companies • Once you know what you want, it’s time to find out what the companies you’re applying for want. A great tip for finding a new job is to investigate a company’s Glassdoor page. • It will help you get a feel for their company culture, figure out what questions they commonly ask in interviews, and even discover what salary you’re likely to be paid.
Updated Resume • Many job classifieds would allow you to upload your resume, so make sure you have a clean and updated resume before you start searching for a job. • Even if you don’t get the uploading option, you can find the contact details from the free classified job ads, so you can directly mail your resume to the concerned people.
Job Fairs • Job fairs are typically targeted toward specific industries, though some job or recruitment fairs are more generalized. These ads will usually come with a list of the organizations that will be present. • Investigate any companies that interest you, bring a number of resumes and be ready to sell yourself.
Cold Calling • If you don't see any job listings posted for a company you're particularly interested in, you might consider making a cold call. • You can use the telephone or email to contact individuals within an organization by finding their contact details on the company website or by inquiring with a receptionist.
Final Words • In the modern job market, finding the very best job opportunities often requires a combination of methods. • Always keep in mind that there are a variety of methods available for finding job opportunities, all with their own strengths and weaknesses, so don't be shy to experiment with a variety of techniques.
