Online Job Hunting

There was a time when a person who wanted to find work had to buy newspaper and look through the classified ads section. The advent of the internet has changed that by creating opportunities for people to work either in a different state or in another country.

It has made the world a smaller place rendering it accessible for anyone with a computer to search for a job and apply to it.

There are many sites that offer such services. All the person has to do is open an account, fill up the necessary fields then submit your resume.

These sites usually ask for pertinent information such as the person's name, age, address, contact number and social security number.

Additional information that will be requested is educational background. Employment history is also another thing that has to be mentioned which includes the job description and highlights that one has experienced during that person's career.
A section in the account will also ask the preferred industry of work, if the person is willing to do field work or open to relocation and the expected salary should one be accepted for the job.

With all the information provided, these sites will then match your qualifications with the jobs available. This service is free and matches can be seen when the person logs on the account or gets a notice via email.

Some sites offer a service with a fee that will place the resume over other applicants giving that person more priority but even that is a not a guarantee that one will get the job.

Online job hunting is not just for professionals. It caters to anyone who wants to work either full time, part time or on a per project basis.

Applying online is not only done through job sites. You can also check the websites of companies that usually have a section on careers to see what openings are available. You simply have to go through the process of giving certain information and uploading your resume.

There are many jobs available in the market. The internet has made it easier for companies to make people aware that there are vacancies available. It has also made it convenient for applicants to apply online instead of walking to an office and dropping of a resume. With everything that is just a mouse click away, all it takes is a little effort on one's part to sit down in front of a computer and looking for a job.

Hunting Job Online

I have pursued many a job sites to look at what is out there and to see if there is a job that offers more money and better benefits than I have currently. While a lot of jobs sound good and the pay is there I have yet to apply. I think most of it is the possibility of me having to move to a new place to better do what would be my new job.

Online job hunting does have its benefits, but it can also be frustrating especially when you don't have as much training or experience. Worse, are those job where I am fairly confidant that I could learn the work but they have the experience requirement. Worse, if they require a driver's licence which I do not have.

Hunting Job Online

I know from the other side that many of the 'job advertisements' are actually already filled and the company just has a policy that they have to post it for a week or two and prove that no one more qualified is out there. For example, I have a coworker who just transitioned to a new position in the company. She said that the HR people asked for her resume and then put it through an algorithm to create a 'job advertisement'. The HR people have no idea about the actual job, they just used common words from her resume and tried to make it sound good. They then sent this advertisement to her, for her to correct it and make it sound more plausible, but advised her to leave the keywords alone so that she would match the job better than anyone else. They then posted this 'advertisement' online for 2 weeks and found that her resume was the best match for the job and she got it. I have been told at many job hunting seminars that I have gone to that this is not uncommon practice, and that the best way to get a job, even with these online job markets is to know someone at the company who can put you in direct contact with the hiring person before the job actually gets advertised, so they can tailor it to you and make sure you get the job.
