Many would be job seekers will definitely look to the larger
companies for employment opportunities and forget the smaller companies. This could
be an error on your part. Searching through sites such as Monster is okay but don’t simply look through these sites. These types
of sites typically will charge you a fee for their service where smaller
companies don’t. Online leads and employment can also be found with smaller
companies or job board groups.
Some people will simply send their resume out to 30 or 35
companies without reading important detail information. This is definitely a
thing not to do. You can send your resume out to this many potential
opportunities. However, send out your resume with personal consideration and
attentiveness for each position. If things should be tweaked or changed to fit
the niche better, do so. Remember you are selling yourself and your talents to
employers and you want to make the best impression as possible just as you
would in person delivering a resume.

completing an application online. Although you may not have the desire to post
your personal contact information, you want to complete this information with
what you are comfortable providing. Review your privacy settings and submit the
information as you see fit. How much you would like to provide or how little.
Set up a separate email account simply for your responses
that are received from your online applications. If you have this information
sent to your regular email address that may be bogged down with other
information you may miss the opportunity of a lifetime simply because you
cannot find the email that was sent to your attention with a deadline for
response that was missed. A separate email is a definite must to stay organized
and on top of things considering you may have contacted numerous resumes and
applications.
Don’t use your current employers email to search for a new
job or position at another company. There are some companies that can consider
this for job termination. As a reminder for all email activity at your employer’s
computer stations, they monitor everything on their equipment. They know every
keystroke you have made, all contents of every email you have sent and received
and they will never look kindly on your job hunting from their computers.
Searching for employment on the web can be an easy and simple
process. Remember these few tips for success and good luck.
