You don’t need an engine…you just need the right tools.
Job search engines like Monster, Indeed, and CareerBuilder are great for basic jobs research, but they’re not the path to actual employment. They have too few jobs and too many people applying for them. (The majority of jobs are never listed on online job boards anyway.)
The best way to find a job is to get the tools you actually need to develop a targeted job search.
So…what’s not working for you?
- Is your LinkedIn profile getting you job leads? If not, get a LinkedIn Profile Tutorial.
- Is your resume generating interviews? If not, redo your resume with our Extreme Makeover Resume Kit.
- Are you finding enough opportunities? If not, learn how with our Hidden Jobs Finder.
- If you get the interview, are you getting the offer? Many job seekers take a “I hope they like me” attitude, but you have much more control than you think over whether or not they offer you the job. If you’re not regularly getting offers (yes, even in this economy),take a hard look at your interview style with our Strategic Approach to the Interview.
- And seriously consider pairing a strategic approach with a 30-60-90-day plan to show the hiring manager. It’s a fantastic communication tool.
What I really want you the job seeker to know is that you are not a victim of circumstance…a bad economy, a decision to “hire someone internally,” nothing. You have the power to change your situation for the better–today.
