The Internet has become a very popular medium for finding jobs. However, there are so many websites and search engines to use, one can easily become overwhelmed or frustrated. Instead of blindly searching around the Internet, first narrow down what type of job you are looking for, or in what sector or for which company. Some of the best resources to use are government sites. Since local, state/provincial, and federal governments are looking for a wide variety of workers, it may be a good idea to start with them. Each level of government across the country has its own website with a page specifically devoted to employment opportunities. There may be internships, upcoming opportunities, or links to additional job search websites posted on there as well.
If you are looking to apply within a specific city or region, look for local job search websites. For example you might type in "Boston job opportunities" or "Ontario job search". If a commute is not a problem for you, then you might also want to look one or two towns over.
For new graduates, job hunting can also be a very stressful situation. You have your degree, but where do you go from here? Most campuses have a career resource center, which can put you on the right track to finding a job. As well, the school should have a job search website, perhaps like workopoliscampus.com, that allows employers to post ads specifically seeking new grads or senior college and university students. Furthermore, if you have a broader degree, try government agencies, larger museums, or national/international companies. Many of these organizations have a need for a broad spectrum of individuals with varying areas of expertise. Also, think outside the box and assess how your areas of study (and not just your major or minor) and acquired skills could translate to a whole host of positions.
Another option for using the Internet as a job hunting resource is putting your resume online on some of the larger job board sites. These sites allow you to post your resume and a brief description of your talents and qualifications. Potential employers will scan your resume and evaluate whether or not your experience and credentials match what they are looking for. This is also a good place for networking. Though X employer may not need your unique set of skills, he or she may know someone who does, and pass your information on to them.
Whichever method you choose to use, remember that patience, persistence, and consistency are key. Job search websites are always changing and being updated, especially government sites, so it is important that you make your job hunt a daily task. Also, do not get discouraged. No matter what state the economy is in, job hunting can be a lengthy process. Furthermore, before you submit your resume to any of the postings online, make sure that your document is neat, concise, and looks professional. You need to prove right from the start that you are a desirable candidate. Double and triple check spelling, grammar, punctuation, and overall format of the resume. Ask yourself "Does it looking appealing?" "Would I hire myself?" If the answer is No to one or both of these questions, give your resume a rewrite, or hire a professional to do it. In the long run, a professionally written resume is definitely worth the money, especially if it lands you your dream job.
