02 Oct 11 Tips for Online Job Search
Online job search has become quite a common phenomenon among aspirant job seekers. But being ignorant about proper method of job search or searching in inappropriate sites make one land into wrong job. But Internet as a medium offers a huge pool of job resources. You just need to know how to use it and bag a good job. Here are some guidelines for your help.
A proactive effort
Instead of just posting your resume in a job portal and sitting back in a relaxed mind why don’t you become little proactive and design a website or online portfolio blog of yours, where recruiters can come and take a look of your work, get an idea of your skills, goals and personal contact information.
Narrow your options of search
Make sure you upload resume and look for a job only in a website which has good narrowing options by criteria like – by region, by industry and experience, by job titles. You may super narrow your search by criteria like – salary expected, job designation, company names etc. Filtering and refining job search will help you to find better job offers.
Visit company websites directly
Instead of just applying to a given job opening and sending resume, get little proactive. Shortlist some best companies where you would love to work. Now visit that company’s website, target that company and check their career/job opening page. Check out the current vacancies. In case the company is hiring send your resume to the given address. Else, you may write to the human resource manager. Company pages may ask you to fill up a form, detailing your profile for their future reference. If the company is not hiring at present, keep coming back to it again and again to keep a watch.
Industry related websites
You may refine your job search by registering and following the desired industry related websites. You may find national or regional jobs posted in industry related websites, which you may not come to know otherwise. Individuals may post such jobs, hoping for getting response from a bigger pool of qualified applicants.
Job portals can be helpful
Online job portals can solve your problem by doing an extensive search. Recruiters will help you by matching your skills and experience with related jobs and bringing the same to you. You may refer to job portals like recruiterlink.com, onlinerecruitersdirectory.com, searchfirm.com and i-recruit.com.
Subscribe to job alerts
Most of the job portals have this feature of subscribing to their job alerts. You need to sign up in the site to receive email alerts about latest job openings. Or you may subscribe to RSS feeds. This way, even if you forget to visit the job portal regularly and look for relevant jobs, you will be reminded by frequent job alerts.

16 Jul 09 Tips For Attracting Employees
Anybody can attract new employees, whether through advertisements through the company, or a job board advertising campaign. The problem is attracting a quality workforce, and that is not always very easy to do. The real tactic you want to use is by knowing what to offer, so that the upper echelon of applicants will be attracted to your job opening. For that it’s all about how you present the job offering.
Firstly you want to find out what the most common wage from opposing companies stands at, and match that pay level, so that you can remain competitive. The most qualified applicants aren’t going to waste their time on a job that would pay them less than if they applied to an opposing company, to do the same job for more money.
Try to find some creative perks that you can offer your new employee hopefuls. If you’re not a large company, obviously you’re probably going to have to get a bit more creative with what you can offer, but anything that you can manage will only be more positive for the job opening. Anything that makes your company look better, no matter what you can offer, is always helpful for getting those more desirable applicants.
Make sure to show that there is plenty of room for growth within the company, and that if you work hard you can climb the ladder fairly quickly. Employees need incentive to take a job and do well at that job, nobody wants to hit a glass ceiling shortly after taking a job, so make sure to outline the benefits your company offers through promotion opportunities.
Have some form of employee incentive program in place to encourage hard work even more. By offering opportunities for employees to earn more money, or receive some sort of privileges you increase the team morale. By increasing morale your team is going to work harder. Showing potential applicants that these opportunities are available will entice them to apply to your company, opposed to a rival corporation.
