The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.\n\n    Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.\n\n    Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.\n\n    Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.\n\n    Organization -- I am the lead developer of a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history.

Well, I gues there's Monster and HotJobs, but I wouldn't waste your time.  You'll mostly get contacted by insurance companies looking for salespeople, and if there are any decent jobs, the competition is fierce.  It's better to look up companies' web sites individually and look for job postings.  Or better yet, try to meet people through friends/family/church that do what you want to do or work where you want to work, and see if they can put you in contact with someone at the company.  This is much more effective than any web site.

As of now post your resume in any one of the job site like jobsahead.com, naukri.com, monsters.com. that will do and always be prepared with things what you know. Because once when your resume is selected u might have a telephonic interview. employers dont have time to bring u into their office conduct test, gd... they just call u at anytime depending on your performance they select for the next round. Try to get references in some good companies through your friends thats also another possibility to enter software firm. Better dont make a choice of domain now itself it highly depends on the company you get in. so dont waste your time in that.

I don't think you would want to chance something as important as your business to a random web page.  I would look into a recruiting firm in the areas you are looking to place people and give them a description of what you need.  Not only will you get prequalified applicants, you usually get a guarantee on the placement (ie. if you are not satisfied, they will place another person until you are).

Honestly most people get a job by word of mouth, knowing someone. But a lot of places require you to submit an on line application. But this might help. I found out that calling and asking to talk to the manager is good any way. \n\nI did that and the manager said he would watch for my application. Though I decided not to apply for that job. \n\nSo try every avenue you can to a get a job. Also go back after you put in an application and ask if they have hired any one. This got me a job one time. And dress nice even just dropping off an application. \n\nYou don't have to over dress. I don't know but to be honest dresses for women always look good and make a good impression or black pants and a white shirt, depending on the job. \n\nAnd smile and make polite conversation. I have had many part time jobs. And offered many more(some full time) and raises not to leave. But right now I will probably be doing some sort of job from home soon. Checking into it. \n\nThere are lots of little things you can do to increase your chances. Even reading a library book on resumes can help.

As a managerial staff member of an unrelated company, I would ask you this question.  Why would you want to fill out an application on line?  Going to a location and filling out the application in person is a much better representation of yourself.  It shows that you are ambitious and that you want the job more than those that are too lazy to get off their rumps to apply.  (not to mention the online applications of most companies are put in the "circular file" - it may not be the most legal practice, but emails and such get lost from the Internet all the time.)

*Get your resume ready and post it on Monster.com.  \n\n*Go online and search the job postings in your local newspaper\n\n*Research companies that you'd like to work for, go to their website and find their 'job opportunities' link -- most companies have this posted online nowadays.  \n\nThen submit your resume to them even though they may not be looking to fill your type of position yet.  Most companies keep a file of resumes as they receive them and when a position needs to be filled you'll be ahead of the game!

Rather than one single effective way, a multi-pronged strategy is more likely to land you the job. Online resume posting, newspaper ads, recruiting agencies, door to door visits so that they can see you in person right off the bat, job fairs, and networking. All of these working together is a better way to go about your search rather than employ just one method.\n\nBefore you do all of that, figure out exactly what it is you're looking for. Would you be willing to do something along the lines of your primary job? Cover all your bases!

Call and ask the companies you're thinking about applying to.   Ask the person who answers if there's any merit in coming in to drop it off.  One great thing about going in to a place is that you can ask some casual questions of people who work there already.  Remember, getting a job is two-sided: you want to pick a place that you're going to enjoy.  Judge the atmosphere as you walk in . . . is it the type of atmosphere you're looking for?  \n\nOh, and remember, in a time when some of us are receiving hundreds of resumes for one position, anything you can do to stick out in a positive manner is important.  I would still include a nice cover letter (with a name, not "to whom it may concern") with the CV.  \n\nGood luck with your search.\nGood Luck!

It's definitely a good idea to send out resumes as early as possible, it allows you to get a better feel of the job market and what your value is in that market.  Out of my last six jobs (ranging from $30K to $90k/year), I found four through head-hunters and internal references, two from Internet websites.  In general, the higher up you go, the less likely you'll find the job on line.  One nice feature is that most job websites will allow you to filter out certain companies from seeing your resume which will conceal your job-search activities.  \n\nWhile most larger companies have their own internal job posting websites, more and more companies are utilizing Internet websites such as Monster.com, Hotjobs.com, Dice.com, Craigslist.com given the low transaction costs.  But they get inundated with resumes and cover letters so it's difficult to make yourself stand out.  \n\nMy recommendation is that if you're serious about looking, do a more active and targeted search.  That means trying to find internal references (or use a service such as Linkedin.com) that will hopefully make your resume stand out a bit more.  My thought is that any job you take is a substantial commitment so you need to take an active role, even if the job search is just exploratory.  \n\nChecking company websites for job postings is sometimes a better solution than relying on Monster.com, etc...  It shows you did some research on the company and have an active interest.  Plopping your resume on Monster and waiting for responses is pretty passive and companies normally prefer more motivated candidates.  Also make sure to send out a cover letter with company specific reasons as to why they should hire you.  \n\nThe job market is improving for job-seekers but if you want to land the RIGHT job (as opposed to any job), you'll need to actively do some work to make yourself stand out.  Like most things in life, the results depend on how much effort you put into the task.\n-------------------------------------\nIf you have concerns that your resume doesn't represent you well enough, that's where your cover letter comes into play.    The cover letter is your opportunity to tell about the person behind the resume, why you're the right person for the job and why they should hire you.  As someone changing careers or industries, you need to actively sell that message which is why I don't recommend just passively posting your resume.  The cover letter and taking initiative to find the right company will help with that transition.  Good luck!

You can use online searches on various job search sites, like Hotjobs.com, Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com - just put in the city and state you want to work in to see available opportunities.\n\nAs well, the Department of Labor for the state should have job resource pages for job-hunters, so you can check there as well.  Again, you would be able to add your choice of city to get relevant results.\n\nAlso, most newspapers have an online presence now - you can find newspapers local to your desired city, and see if you can access the local want ads online.\n\ngood luck in your job hunt!
