NEW JOB STRATEGIES YOU SHOULD KNOW

It's not the good old days anymore. You should know that better than anyone if you have been searching for a job.

Long gone are the days when you could appear on a potential employer's doorstep, resume in hand and hope for an interview.

Now you must be internet savvy, highly technical and always aware of the latest and greatest way jobs are sought and filled.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS KEY

If you are not on social media, you may be the only one. Make sure your Linkedln account is up-to-date at all times, but also don’t forget the power of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Let your friends and followers know that you are actively seeking work.

One of your hundreds of online friends may just have the inside skinny on a dream job that hasn't yet been advertised.

An important tip when seeking work on- or offline is to make sure that your social media presence reflects your best self.

Potential future employers are going to want to see what you can add to their work environment.

They are likely to be turned off by coarse language or risqué photos.

Likewise, if you are currently employed, it is wise to let your present employer know that you are seeking a new position.

You will get a much better reference if your employer learns about your job hunt from you rather than social media.

MARKET YOURSELF ONLINE

What better way to make that job a reality than by marketing yourself?

Why wait for the ideal job to come to you? Your most coveted position may not exist.

Top employees have found that placing ads online, sharing their resumes and networking can lead to gainful employment.

Potential employers may see your willingness and abilities which might then encourage them to create a position just for you.

The simple first step is to create an attention-grabbing resume. Highlight all of the facets of your work history that make you stand out in a crowd.

Share every award, every successful venture, and do so in a way that is dynamic and readable. The next step is to share that resume as much as possible.

Put it on social media sites or take out an online ad. You may even want to email heads of companies with your resume attached.

If you choose to go this route, be sure to have a courteous yet eye-catching email that will encourage your recipient to open the resume rather than toss it away with the spam.

HAND YOURSELF OVER TO PROFESSIONALS

The internet has created an environment that simplifies your ability to connect with employers.

Unfortunately, it has leveled the playing field for your competition as well.

Instead of facing the job hunt alone, hand your resume over to a professional.

Recruiting firms work for companies to find the perfect skill set for a specific job at hand.

When you hand your resume and cover letter to a recruiting firm, you are in essence making yourself available for every job they see.

Some will even negotiate salaries and benefits for you, making your only task choosing which job is the best fit.

Searching for jobs has never been easier, but it has also never been more competitive.

Make sure you stand out in the crowd by employing all of these strategies. Soon, you will find the employment of your dreams.
