The unemployment rate is as high as it has ever been in close to 30 years. With all of these people out of work, finding a job is getting tougher and tougher. You need to take advantage of every possible outlet in finding a job. Employment classifieds are a great way to get started.
Usually when you talk about employment classified ads, you get a look that basically says people are not interested in even starting because everyone has access and we are all rushing for the couple of positions that are available. The trick is to work the system in your favor and take advantage of all the different aspects of these employment classified ads.
First, we have the print media. Newspapers, magazines and other publications all have classifieds featuring employment ads. The key to being successful with these is checking them every time they come out. Everyone does know about the huge help wanted section in the Sunday paper, but how many people are checking the mid week edition and also checking the smaller employment classifieds that appear each and every day. How about the local businesses that advertises in the community paper? They can't afford to put an ad in the Sunday paper so they put it in the weekly that is only distributed in your neighborhood. The more you check, the more likely you are to find something.
Now you are going to do the same thing on the internet. If you do a search for employment classifieds, you are going to see hundreds of thousands of sites that offer employment classified listings. Most industries will have their own classified sections so you can start there and then expand out as you get used to how to do the searches. You will have to sift through all kinds of junk of these sites to find the legitimate jobs, but they are definitely in there among the scam artists.
The next type of employment classified we are going to look at are job boards. Sites such as Monster.com and Jobs.com are nothing more than one big employment listing. They are the biggest help wanted section you will ever see. The best feature of these sites is that since they are only dedicated to employment classifieds, they are organized and easy to get through. You can easily find just about any job title that you want much quicker than dealing with the normal free classified listings.
Now when you take your break from job hunting and go update your MySpace page, you can also look for some jobs there. You would be surprised how many businesses are using this outlet as employment classified. Do a little surfing and the next thing you know you might be collecting a real paycheck again.
Okay, we have been doing reconnaissance to this point, now it is time to go on the offensive. Start doing you own posting! All of but the print ads will allow you to make your own posting for free. You would be surprised how many employers sift through these sites looking for people that are looking for work. A great idea is to start up a blog and create another link where you can have your resume posted and put this link up on a classified or on a social page.
This is basically the same process that is available to you on the job boards. Each and every one of these employment classified sites will allow you to not only post your resume for employers to seek, but you can also have job alerts sent right to you as soon as they become available. Now instead of you doing all the work, the site is working for you and you will only need to go on there when you get an alert that a job meeting your criteria has been posted.
