Finding the right job opportunities and standing out in a competitive market is tough. Fortunately, there are plenty of tools and hacks out there that are built to help you find your dream job, more quickly and easily than ever.

To help you get through the job search process, here we have listed down the top 7 ways that can help you win a great opportunity in no time.

1. Expand Your Network:
Networking is one power-tool to find the job you are looking for. Connect with every individual; your family member, friend, neighbors, colleagues, customers, vendors, associates, etc. who works in the industry you are interested in as the job leads are now developed/discovered primarily through networking.

Be cognizant of the fact that many, if not most, job openings aren’t advertised. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for work.

Ask if they can help. Be appreciative of any help they give you, even if it doesn’t result in a job. You never know, they may find something for you later on.

The bigger your network is, the more opportunities you can have. So approach every single person in your network and keep expanding it.

2. Create a Twitter Job Search List to Track Job Listings From Thousands of Sources
Every day, recruiters are tweeting jobs they need to interview candidates for—making Twitter a seriously untapped resource for job seekers. To make sure you’re in the know about these leads, create a Twitter job search list that includes recruiters, hiring managers, company hiring handles, and job search websites.

Then, review their tweets daily for potential opportunities.

3. Search for Related Twitter Hashtags
Social media is a very useful tool that can make life easy for employers and job seekers. Go to your twitter profile and put hashtags such as #hiring, #opportunity, #HR etc in your search bar. You can also specify your search by using industry-specific hashtags such as #SEO, #telecom, #sales&marketing, etc.

In addition to looking for jobs, you can put yourself in the list of prospects by tweeting with hashtags such as #unemployed, #jobhunting etc
