Hello and welcome to Janice Litvin’s Blog…
Since I have been recruiting for many years in Silicon Valley, I have advised many people about all aspects of their job search, including: online job finds, resume writing & uploading, interviewing, negotiating salary, & overcoming hidden objections.
More advice can be found at my website, www.microsearchsf.com
I have started this blog to create a dialog with a wide audience of job seekers needing advice. All requests are welcome, no matter where you are in your job search.
As time permits, I will add advice that I hear myself telling candidates on a daily basis.
Today’s job search tips are about …
How To Get Found by Recruiters
Tip #1:
Upload your resume on any of the job search sites including monster, Yahoo/Hotjobs, Dice, Careerbuilder (and any local sites such as bajobs). Don’t just search these sites for jobs. If you are worried about being found by your current employer, you can use a confidential identity with a confidential email address.
Tip #2:
Create a bio for free on Linkedin and clearly explain what you are looking for. Then begin to network with others in your field and “link” to people you know. If you have not already done so, start with Linkedin as it seems to be the most popular. Other social networking sites include: Facebook, Spoke, & Ryze.
Tip #3:
Create your own resume website for free on Yahoo / Geocities, or anywhere else. Then recruiters can find you. Be sure to include at least an email address.
Tip #4:
I am offering free personalized advice about any aspect of your job search for a limited time as research for my upcoming book about online job search & recruiting. Privacy will be strictly respected.
