Mickalino Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 For the first time in about 6 years, I'm in the job search, so I'm a little out of touch with the process these days. Gone are the days where employers put a sign in the window, or even advertise in the paper. A lot of them just advertise on their own company site. So, how do I find out about these companies that have openings on thier own site, if I don't already know the names of the companies ? Are online job searchers the best way to go, like "CareerBuilder", or is there a better way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Niche sites are great too aside from the bigger employment sites. The best bet is finding companies through niche sites and applying online and in house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyansRangers Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 1)www.indeed.com combines all search sites into one.. 2) call everyone you know to see if their company is hiring. Word of mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogNose Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Careerbuilder and Monster are good ones. The problem I've found is that employers want an applicant to email a resume these days without seeing you face to face. You cease to be a human being and become an attachment in an email which I believe makes the job hunt more difficult. It is harder to stand out from the crowd when employers go this route.

Kunia5 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nick, Can you offer to work as an unpaid intern at a firm of your choice? They rarely turn down free labor. And if they like you, it'll usually end up as a job offer. Likewise, I know working as a temp is demeaning and sucks. But many of those jobs turn into paid positions, if you are experienced and confident. Bosses are conservative people. If they can personally experience your skills .and attitude, they'll take you over a resume applicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
