Using CMC To Enhance Your Employment Opportunities

When most of us look for a JOB, we tend to do it the old-fashioned way, we look at the "Help Wanted" ads in the Sunday newspaper. Sometimes that can be effective...But consider this fact:

80 Percent of All Jobs are NEVER ADVERTISED!

Many ads in the newspaper may receive up to 3,000 responses...this makes your chances of getting an interview, very "slim" at best


WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND EMPLOYMENT?

You can network with friends and relatives already working in your desired line of work..they can inform you of openings.

You can hire a "Head Hunter" to market your skills and experience to potential employers in your career field.

You can tap into the 'UNADVERTISED JOB MARKET" and do your own "JOB CAMPAIGN" by utilizing CMC from your home!


I have discovered that the INTERNET will allow you to Tap into the UNADVERTISED JOB MARKET in 3 Ways:

You can post your resume on-line with numerous headhunters and job banks. Companies often visit these web sites and will contact you if your qualifications match their needs. I have received many inquiries this way.

You can search the Job Listings on the Job banks and with employment search firms. Instead of waiting for someone to notice your posting, you can contact the employer direct from the job listing on their web page. Most of these jobs DO NOT APPEAR in the newspaper, therefore much of the population is unaware of them.

Perhaps the best method is to "Target" certain companies within the industry of your choice. Send them a cover letter and resume that is geared directly toward the openings they may have. Although they may not have an opening at present, they often keep your file active for 3 months. Follow up by e-mail. Assertive Job Seekers get noticed by Employers!
