Job search question
I haven't looked for a job in quite awhile. Can you ladies offer any tips/sources for looking in the current economy? I feel completely overwhelmed and don't really know where to begin. Thanks in advance.
Re: Job search question
Well...I can tell you what they told Nick, but this my not help you that much 'cause your situation and his are different.
The easiest thing is through people you know, of course. Then through temp agencies, because a lot of companies instead of hiring directly go through temp agencies 'cause that way is easier for them to get rid of you if you don't work out (less paper work and less liability). Also get an linked-in account and check other online job search engines.
One of my friends used Monster.com, a lot of people say it doesn't work...but she posted her resume and a company actually called her before she even applied to anything.
You can also get a career assistance agent to help you find for a job.
I got my current job through a personal connection. Had my friend e-mail her friend my resume and here I am!
My friend's fiance who works at the Patent office said that in order to get someone to pay attention to him he found the manager of a division he felt he would be a good fit in, and called him. He got a job.
Have you considered taking a state civil service test and looking that way? Other than that I LOVED indeed when I was job hunting. Also, I would go directly to companies websites and look for jobs on there, they don't always list all of them on job search sites.
When Aaron was job hunting he would put on a suit and hand deliver his resume to companies he was interested in whether they were hiring or not and he got his first job that way.
Good luck!
