An article in the Dallas Morning News on September 2, 2009, Section 2D, by Diane Stafford titled “What works best in finding jobs” lists the following advice to job seekers provided by Challenger, Gray & Christmas:
· Your time is best spent networking.
· Your time is least effectively spent attending job fairs.
Here is a list of effective activities suggested by CGC:
· Networking – (making personal contacts).
· Using social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter.
· Getting referrals from management recruiting firms.
· Posting resumes on Internet job boards such as CareerBuilder.com.
· Posting resumes directly on employers’ Web sites.
· Cold-calling employers and/or sending unsolicited resumes.
A job seeker’s full time job should include all of the above listed activities.
Please share any thoughts or experiences you may have about your successful job seeking activities. Glyn
