You Never Know Where You'll Find Your Next Job
With the new economy comes a new reality in the job search. The days of finding many openings to choose from with a simple search on Monster are largely gone. The competition for each opening is fierce and each applicant needs to find as many opportunities as possible. As a result, job seeker needs to get busier and more creative. The good news is that the Internet is a fantastic resource for conducting just such a search. The Monster's and Careerbuilder's are still extremely valuable. However, often today's job seeker needs to consider other options.
Networking is still one of the most effective methods of getting a job, and employers love referrals. While the standard person to person networking is still works, social networking sites online have expanded both the reach and speed of networking. Along with Facebook and Twitter, there are many business-specific networking sites (e.g. Linkedin, Ryze) that either target an industry or type of employee.
These sites can give you a leg up on researching and finding the opportunities, in addition to learning more about the company (to confirm that you'd want to even work there). These sites can also offer you experience and insights from current and past employees that would be tough to find out on your own, especially if you are making a career switch and have little or no experience in your newindustry. As with any of these sites, be careful who and how you interact and always protect your privacy.
Staffing agencies are another 'standard' means of finding work that has been renewed and updated with the internet. Staffing agencies offer services to both the job seeker as well as employers. Agencies often specialize in matching up job seekers with employers looking for talent. Similar to other traditional job resources, many of these agencies are now available online and offer job search capabilities etc. Agencies can also have a focus - on permanent or temporary work, or on a particular industry.
Staffing Agencies need to make their profits too. Usually they will charge the company a percentage of a new employee's salary for payment, although they may also charge the job seeker to perform a search. They may also ask the job-seeker to sign an contract detailing the relationship between the agency and the job-seeker. Be sure you're aware of any arrangement before you agree.
These are just a couple of the multitude of options and resources available to the creative and energetic job-seeker online. You never know where you'll find your next job!
