Is a job change in order?
Peruse the 25 most effective ways to job hunt. If it's time for new
beginnings, and if you're searching for a job, it's a good time to make sure
your priorities are in check.
Begin with some basic soul-searching, move to creative networking, and
conclude with the foremost ways to investigate prospective companies.
These are all sure strategies for getting a competitive edge in the job
market. But finding a job means more than being competitive.
In the bewildering new world of technology-online boards, career
centers, and growing numbers of complex web sites-it also means
knowing your way around.
Here are 25 tips to learn how to maximize your time, your effectiveness,
and your chances of success in your next career search!
1 - First and foremost-take a personal inventory.
Job hunting allows you to go back to "square one" and inventory all over
again what you are all about, what skills and knowledge you have
acquired, and what you want to do.
Who are you?
What do you want out of life?
A job?
A career?
Where are you going?
Do you know how to get there?
Have you been happy in your work/career/profession?
What would you like to change?
An inventory such as this is the best job-hunting method ever devised
because it focuses your view of your skills and talents as well as your
inner desires.
You begin your job hunt by first identifying your transferable, functional,
skills. You are identifying the basic building blocks of your work.
2 - Apply directly to an employer.
Pick out the employers that interest you the most from any source
available (web listings, yellow pages, newspaper ads, etc.), and obtain
their addresses.
Appear on their doorstep at your first opportunity with a resume in
hand.
Even if you don't know anyone there, this job-hunting method works
almost half the time, if you are diligent and continue your pursuit over
several weeks or months.
3 - Ask relatives and friends about jobs where they work.
Ask every relative and friend you have now or have ever had about
vacancies they may know about where they work, or where anyone else
works.
It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes an entire network to find
a new job!
If you tell everyone you know or meet that you are job hunting and that
you would appreciate their help, you more than quadruple your chances
of success.
4 - Search hidden job markets.
Networking is the "Hidden Job Market." Because every time you make
contact with a person who is in direct line with your career interest, you
set up the possibility that he or she will lead you to more people, or to the
job you are seeking.
People are connected to one another by an infinite number of pathways.
Many of these pathways are available to you, but you must activate them
to make them work to your advantage.
Most of the available jobs are in the hidden job market. They aren't listed
in the classifieds or placed with a headhunter. Find them through your
network of contacts. This is your most valuable resource!
5 - Ask a professor or old teacher for job leads.
No one knows your capabilities, dedication, and discipline better than a
teacher or professor who had the opportunity to work with you in school.
Since more people find their work through direct referral by other
people than by any other way, this is a target audience you don't want to
miss
6 - Spend more hours each week on your job hunt.
Finding a job is a job! Treat your job hunting just as you would a normal
job and work a normal number of hours per week, at least 35, preferably
40 in the process.
This will cut down dramatically on the length of time it takes you to find
work. Did you know that the average person in the job market only
spends 5 hours or less per week looking for work?
With that statistic, it isn't surprising that it can be a long, tedious process.
Improve your chances and demonstrate your discipline and
determination.
Devote Sundays to answering ads and planning your strategy for the next
week.
Don't spend precious weekday hours behind a computer.
You need to be out there researching leads, networking, and
interviewing. Work smarter for yourself!
7 - Concentrate your job hunt on smaller companies.
Most new jobs will come from smaller, growing companies, typically with
fewer than 500 employees, not large, restructuring companies.
Although larger employers are more visible, well-known, and aggressive
in their search for employees, it is with the smaller companies that you
may have the best chance of success in finding work.
Pay particular attention to those companies that are expanding and on
their way to prosperous growth...they are easier to approach, easier to
contact important personnel, and less likely to screen you out.
8 - See more employers each week.
If you only visit six or seven employers a month in your job search (which
is the average, by the way), you will prolong your search and delay your
successful outcome.
This is one reason why job hunting takes so long.
If you need to see 45 employers to find a job, it only makes sense to see as
many employers a week as possible.
Determine to see no fewer than two employers per week at a minimum!
Do this for as many months as your job hunt lasts.
Keep going until you find the kind of employer who wants to hire you!
Looking for a job is a numbers game.
The more contacts you make, the more interviews you'll get. The more
interviews you have, the more offers you'll get.
9 - Be prepared for phone interviews.
Would you believe that over 50% of prospective candidates are
disqualified after the first phone contact is made with them by an
employer?
In today's world, employers don't have time anymore to interview every
possible applicant and are using phone calls as a less expensive, less
time-consuming way to weed out potentially unqualified candidates.
The phone interview catches many people off guard.
You might receive more than just one phone interview, and you have to
pass them all.
The interviewer usually makes up his or her mind within the first five
minutes.
The remainder of the time is spent just confirming first impressions.
10 - Create a support group.
It is easy to get discouraged, depressed, and despondent (the three D's) in
the job-hunt process.
This can be one of the toughest and loneliest experiences in the world
and the rejection you may have to face can be brutal, but it doesn't have
to be.
The key is to understand that you are not alone.
There are hundreds of thousands of people looking for work, and you can
team up with one if you choose.
Many job-hunting groups already exist, such as the local Chambers of
Commerce and online support groups through the Internet.
Find a partner, or a larger group, and support and encourage each other.
The path to success is a phone call away.
Bonus Tips:
11 - Contact potential employers directly through professional
associations.
12 - Post your resume online.
13 - Promote yourself in unique ways.
14 - Accept a temporary position or volunteer work.
15 - Make cold calls.
16 - Re-define your job hunt in terms of alternative
possibilities.
17 - Seek career counseling or job hunting help online.
18 - Consider federal and local government sources.
19 - Make sure you can survive financially between jobs.
20 - Set and prioritize goals while job-hunting.
21 - Zero in on a career position and research the market.
22 - Interview others for information.
23 - Organize a job search campaign.
24 - Update your resume and be prepared.
25 - Keep yourself dedicated, strong, positioned, and
consistent.

With that statistic, it isn't surprising that it can be a long, tedious process. Improve your chances and demonstrate your discipline and determination. Devote Sundays to answering ads and planning your strategy for the next week. Don't spend precious weekday hours behind a computer. You need to be out there researching leads, networking, and interviewing. Work smarter for yourself! 7 - Concentrate your job hunt on smaller companies. Most new jobs will come from smaller, growing companies, typically with fewer than 500 employees, not large, restructuring companies. Although larger employers are more visible, well-known, and aggressive in their search for employees, it is with the smaller companies that you may have the best chance of success in finding work. Pay particular attention to those companies that are expanding and on their way to prosperous growth...they are easier to approach, easier to contact important personnel, and less likely to screen you out.
  • 7. 8 - See more employers each week. If you only visit six or seven employers a month in your job search (which is the average, by the way), you will prolong your search and delay your successful outcome. This is one reason why job hunting takes so long. If you need to see 45 employers to find a job, it only makes sense to see as many employers a week as possible. Determine to see no fewer than two employers per week at a minimum! Do this for as many months as your job hunt lasts. Keep going until you find the kind of employer who wants to hire you! Looking for a job is a numbers game. The more contacts you make, the more interviews you'll get. The more interviews you have, the more offers you'll get. 9 - Be prepared for phone interviews. Would you believe that over 50% of prospective candidates are disqualified after the first phone contact is made with them by an employer?
  • 8. In today's world, employers don't have time anymore to interview every possible applicant and are using phone calls as a less expensive, less time-consuming way to weed out potentially unqualified candidates. The phone interview catches many people off guard. You might receive more than just one phone interview, and you have to pass them all. The interviewer usually makes up his or her mind within the first five minutes. The remainder of the time is spent just confirming first impressions. 10 - Create a support group. It is easy to get discouraged, depressed, and despondent (the three D's) in the job-hunt process. This can be one of the toughest and loneliest experiences in the world and the rejection you may have to face can be brutal, but it doesn't have to be. The key is to understand that you are not alone. There are hundreds of thousands of people looking for work, and you can team up with one if you choose.
  • 9. Many job-hunting groups already exist, such as the local Chambers of Commerce and online support groups through the Internet. Find a partner, or a larger group, and support and encourage each other. The path to success is a phone call away.
