| TIPS FOR JOB-SEEKERS |
March 1, 2007 |
Using the Internet for the Job Search Process and the Follow-Up I’d like to make a few comments about the use of the Internet in the
job search process. Some candidates seem to think that the Internet is some
sort of magic elixir that helps people find new jobs and, while you can certainly
find a new job using any number of Web resources, the key is that the Web
should be just one part of your job search strategy. Be sure to use other
sources in your job search such as networking, cold calling, career fairs,
want ads, and of course the BLCS for better results. |

Furthermore, although I mention the importance of follow-up in every consultation, some candidates take it rather lightly. I cannot stress this enough: it is essential that job-seekers follow up all job leads, all interviews, and in all job-hunting situations. Employers are not going to come after you; you need to track down the employers. Contacting the employer about a particular job opening shows your continued interest in the opening - and could be just enough to give you an edge over other candidates. |
