Job Search Advice

In today's economy, you don't need a rocket scientist to tell you it is harder then ever to find a job. So I've come up with the 5 creative ways to market yourself and find the career you've been searching for!

5. Use career services to your advantage! There are several companies out there that offer resume posting, distribution, and faxing services. The more resumes you have out there, the better. We offer a wonderful resume posting service that posts your resume to 97 job boards and we have a 100% client success rate. Everyone who has posted a resume has been interviewed as a result of their posting.

4. Network, Network, Network. In a tough economy it may be more about who you know then what you know. Start talking to friends, relatives, and your favorite teller at the bank. Whoever you know, it can't hurt to ask if they've heard of anything recently.

3. Try craigslist. They offer resume posting on their site and considering it is the 9th most visited site on the web you are sure to get some great exposure. You can also review their job listings. It is not the most creative or all-encompassing job board, but you could find a diamond in the rough.

2. Staffing agencies are another great resource you can tap in to. Some money is better then no money. Nowadays most companies will not look negatively on short-term temporary employment. They understand that sometimes you have to take something to make ends meet until you can get that career of your dreams.

1. Be really creative! We heard about one job seeker who printed up her resume on a flyer and went around the neighborhood shopping center putting it on every car window she could find. This tactic shows determination, creativity, and desire. Three qualities I would love to have in any employee!
