What are the best ways to job search?
Let me start by telling you one of the worst ways to job search: via online job boards. Did you know that only 4% of job seekers who use these boards actually find work that way? Or that 85+% of all available jobs are never advertised on the Internet or in print form? Sure, do some online job searching, but make sure you use the right kinds of job boards & that you set up automated search agents (automated email notification of job listings that match your key words, industry selections, & preferred geographic areas). Put the bulk of your energy into networking and direct contact with targeted employers (contacting hiring managers in target companies before open positions are listed) & make sure you use recruiters if appropriate to your career level.
