Be Selective and Targeted

As with writing a targeted resume and cover letter you will get better results from your job search if you are selective in what you look for. Being too general in your requirements, type of company, technologies and geographic area will not bring you the results you want.

You want to ‘cherry pick’ the roles that really leap off the screen at you – much like the employers will cherry pick the resumes that leap out at them. Just think, your new job is in there somewhere – it will be one in thousands and you have to find it. Knowing how to work the computer job search engine will help you find it.

Computer Job search engine review – Don’t mass mail tons of ‘OK-ish’ jobs

One big mistake many people make is making a generic resume/CV and mass mailing it to 30-40 different jobs every day without really reading over the job ads or giving any thought to the industry the job is in and other key points.

I see forum posts all the time saying – “I’m applying for 30+ jobs every day and no one wants to know, what am I doing wrong?!”

They’re mass mailing generic applications with no real thought for the actual role advertised and no targeting to the specific roles. Start out thinking what you want from your next job. It’s not a decision to be taken lightly, it’s certainly not something decide by just closing your eyes and hoping for the best.

Work is where you will be spending a very large chunk of your waking life, this is the part where you get to choose what kind of place you’ll be spending that time in!

Cherry picking the roles that appeal to you will make it much easier to target your resume for those roles and communicate your enthusiasm and suitability for those jobs that are right for you. – Anything else is just a waste of both parties’ time

Computer Job search engine review – Get notified

Many of the best job sites will email you new jobs daily based on certain keywords you tell them to search on. This is a great time saver – and when you’re at work and can’t be seen searching jobsites it’s great for the sites to do the searching and send them to you as soon as they become available.

To use this function you have to register and post up a resume- which isn't a bad thing when you're paving the way for the jobs to find you as well as you finding them. My last job came from a CV I had posted up on a job site, it's a critical part of finding a job so don't overlook it.

It's boring, repetative and tedious filling all those forms over and over but it's going the extra mile which makes all the difference. If you don't fancy going through all that data entry yourself you can pay somoene else to do it. Be careful what you choose however, some resume submissions are better than others. If it interests you learn about resume posting services here.
