Job Search Strategies That Will Get You A Job This Month! by fleps(m): 8:17am On Sep 03, 2014
It is said that it is a only a mad man that keeps doing the same thing and expects a different result. You may have been searching for a job for the past months without any success or even an interview, then there is something wrong with your job search strategies. Don't worry, this month just keep calm and re-strategise. Here are areas you need to concentrate on or things you need to do differently this time.

Your CV

Change your CV style and most important info on it. Why do you think people pay professionals or career firms to write their CVs for them? You may not need to pay any body. Make sure you have friends who are good in writing CVs or who work with recruitment firms and can give you a tip or two on what should be or not be in your CV.

Be Early to Apply!

One of the reasons why you apply for jobs on popular job boards and you arrive at no success is because you either wait for email alert or you wait till mid day or late evening before you search for jobs. That will not get you anywhere except on few success cases where the position is advertised at that time. Most times when you wait for email alert and apply, you become the number 759 person to apply and this is how HR managers/recruiters work: they cannot invite all qualified persons at once. First they invite the first 10 or 15 qualified persons (depending on the office size of the firm) or more if it is a test based interview. Once their required candidate has been gotten, they don't bother about the rest of the 600 or so. So wake early, know the time various job boards upload jobs early in the morning and apply early.

Use LinkedIn Please:

You may not want to use LinkedIn for job search but when recruiters do background search, LinkedIn is the first place they go even before Facebook and general search on Google. So if you're not found, you may definitely loose out in the race.

LinkedIn also has many advantages. You can connect to top HR Managers and recruiters! Also some firms do search on LinkedIn for their candidates because they believe professionals do have a good LinkedIn profile. The full article explains more.

Do you know that you can also apply for jobs on LinkedIn? Now you do! LinkedIn is the largest internet space hub for professionals in diverse fields. So applying for jobs on LinkedIn gives your profile a professional touch and recruiters appreciate this.
