MANAGING A MODERN JOB HUNT
OUR IMPARTIAL GUIDE TO MANAGING YOUR MODERN JOB HUNT
ASC Connections - the technical and business recruitment experts
A ‘job board’ provides two main functions for you: adverts
for jobs and the capacity to register your CV for recruitment
consultancies to find you! Top tip: Using a job board is all about
keywords. When you search for a job, don’t just look for a job
title but search for key skills too. Similarly, make sure your CV is
full of those same words so that a recruiter will find you before
anyone else!
JOBS BY EMAIL
Job boards, along with many recruitment consultancy websites,
allow you to set up an email alert often called ‘jobs by email’ that
will inform you every time jobs become available that match your
specific criteria. This will keep you in-the-know about the latest
hot jobs and allow you to apply first!
SOCIAL MEDIAThe go-to social media platform for job seekers is LinkedIn
which is sometimes referred to as ‘Facebook for professionals’
because it is very similar: you set up a profile and interact with
people. Make sure that you remember that key word though
– professional. Your profile should read similar to your CV, use
it to connect with recruiters and managers and do some old
fashioned networking!
