The internet has provided Phoenix job seekers with a way to find prospective employers faster than ever before. There are some ways to maximize your time online so you can have balance during the job search process.
Determine the best sites for your job or industry.
· Websites like Career Builder or Phoenix-based Jobing.com will have national, regional, and local scope. If you are in a field that has specialized sites like The Ladders where employers post positions, then use those to find opportunities.
Create a top ten list.
· Figure out what companies you would like to work for that meet your geographical and career objectives. When you are online weekly go to each company’s website and post through their individual systems.
Be consistent on when and where you search.
· Check listings for new postings each Sunday and Thursday, which are the most common posting days. Submit your resume for the companies and email the posting to yourself or print out the information for follow up purposes.
You can find out more information about best practices for a career transition at an upcoming free workshop at the University of Phoenix Hohokam Campus on June 18th. To register:
