Searching for jobs today both for the employed and unemployed, is fraught with frustration. Because of the proliferation of the internet many depend on job boards for information on job openings. They periodically visit these sites for new openings. But you often have to sieve out jobs and companies you are not interested in. Along the way it is possible to miss jobs that ordinarily you would have applied for, if only you knew when it was posted online and could also find them online with your traditional routes. I can’t tell you how many times, friends have told me that they weren’t aware of opening weeks after the jobs were posted online. But to search jobs like a pro, you need more than that.
