How do you look for a job in 2012
|
Used to be:
1) There were employment agencies -still a few around but not many
2) look in the newspaper - used to be a whole section now if you get a few pages of min wage jobs without benefits your lucky
3) mail resumes to companies - probably right to the shredder
4) Post online-Monster/career builder - new way for scam artists to contact you or steal your personal data - don't trust anymore
5) network through friends/associates
The 4 major ways are gone and you can only network so much. What else is there.....Linkedin?
How do people get jobs these days? Old ways don't work anymore....

I don't post my resume publicly but do use LinkedIn most often. I normally have headhunters or HR people calling me.

Drop by -- try to get a tour -- talk to other employees etc -- ask about job openings if things click.

I got mine through LinkedIn... tons of jobs out there. I think people finding job hunting as difficult don't realize it takes months and months to get a good job offer and you need to be applying constantly
Also a solid portfolio that correlates with the job you're applying for means more than any resume or degree
