10 Free Job Search Resources Online

10 Free Job Search Resources Online Heres a list of 10 free job search resources that I frequently recommend: JibberJobber (free version): hey, its my list, I get to be on top, right?   We designed the free version of JibberJobber to be more powerful than an excel spreadsheet (with regard to features), and offer OPTIONAL upgrades (one for $5/month, and one for $9.95/month).   Whether you are in a job search now or not, you should be using something like JibberJobber to manage your professional relationships. Emurse.com: This is my favorite place to put a resume online, nothing more, nothing less.   Get your paper resume out and simply fill in the blanks.   Your online resume will be accessible from a URL like jasonalba.emurse.com (not a hyperlink I dont have my resume up there, since Im not looking right now but I should do this!). LinkedIn.com: I usually only recommend upgrading for people who will be searching a lot and need to reach out to the people they find.   This might describe you, but if not, just get the free version.   YOU HAVE TO BE ON LINKEDIN.   PERIOD. Oh yeah, and subscribe to my LinkedIn blog. Job-hunt.org: this site has a tone of stuff, and can be overwhelming to navigate, but let me share two gems that I frequently refer back to.   First, Deb Dibs article on LinkedIn for the executive job seeker.   Great article, but I refer back to it a lot because there are 8 LinkedIn Profiles that she points to that are pristine excellent examples to help you craft your LinkedIn Profile.   Second, when someone tells me they cant find a local face-to-face network meeting, I go to Job-hunt.org and look to see what they have listed there (top left drop-down on main page).   I could go to Google but this already has what Im looking for (I dont always find the right answer, but its where I start). Twellow.com: Im not going to try and convince you to get on Twitter, but do this: go to Twellow.com (which is like the yellow pages of Twitter) and search for people in your city, state, profession or industry.   Youll find influencers who are probably well-networked these are people who you want to develop relationships with.   No kidding give it a shot and start networking with people who can help you get closer to your target companies. Indeed.com: Yup, a job board, but not for job boards sake.   Use Indeed to do COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH.   Find out what companies are hiring, what your target companies competition is doing, what job titles look like (I had to get familiar with industry buzz words and titles I wasnt familiar with during my job search, which led me down other paths), etc.   Ignore the idea of applying for jobs using job boards and think about this as a rich database research tool! The Career Hub Blog: You can read me babble on and on and on at this blog, but realize that (a) my job search was an utter failure, and (b) while I offer freaking awesome website to job seekers, I am not in the trenches with job seekers like professional job search coaches.   Want to hear from them?   The Career Hub Blog is THE PLACE to go!   Also, on the right of that blog youll see a download button for free job search ebooks totally worth the time to download and read (they are short, packed with great stuff).

Google to search for players in your space, just the same way you would use Twellow.   Same concept, although youll have to play around with the search terms more to really find the results you want to find.   But once you find a blogger in your space (industry, profession, etc.) you might hit a gold vein, check out the blogroll, who comments etc. and you might just have a ton of awesome contacts to start developing relationships with! Google Alerts:   You should have target companies why not keep up on them?   Go to Google Alerts and put in the company names, officer names, products, etc. to see what buzz they are getting online? You should also have your own name and perhaps professional friends as well as past companies in Alerts.   I have about 12 alerts set up including my name, names of my books, JibberJobber, and my competition I want to know whats being said, and when I can comment on blogs Google Alerts is an excellent way to keep your ear to the ground on things you want to pay attention to.

6 Ways to Enhance a Candidate CV with Zero Experience

6 Ways to Enhance a Candidate CV with Zero Experience The paradox of finding a proper job after graduation consists of the fact that you need to have the experience to start a career but at the same time, you need a job to obtain that experience! That is why most of the graduates or people, who want to change something in their career, find it difficult to make the first step and often need some assistance. However, there are many important qualities, which are taken into account, apart from the working experience itself, so you have a chance to adjust all of your skills and use them to apply for the job of your dreams. The main trick in writing a CV without work-related skills consists of using various creative tools to show your transferable skills. Here are some tips, which may help you to provide an interesting CV even if you lack work experience and still want to find the job of your dreams. 1. Concentrate on what makes you useful If you don’t have enough experience, you should always highlight the things, which can be useful for the employer. Try to think from his perspective â€" what makes you useful? It may be participation in various projects, voluntary work, public services and so on. Make sure all the listed items are interesting for your potential employer. In such a way, you will be able to emphasize your personal achievements and shift the interest from work-related skills. If you don’t have too many projects to boast, try to divide them into goals, targets, and results to make all the skills as obvious as possible. 2. Give vivid examples Usually, headhunters and managers spend no more than a couple of seconds, reading a CV. They go through important sections and decide, whether they are interested in knowing more about the candidate. That is why you will only have a few seconds to make a proper first impression. If you decide simply to convey your strong sides, you will most likely fail. The best thing to do in such situation will be to provide bright examples from your personal or work life to demonstrate the indicated skills. For example, instead of writing that you are able to launch projects, try to give an example. You may say that you have launched a community project with twenty employees and earned $10,000 in the first year. Try to remind any other important examples to show your communication or managing skills, as it will tell the potential manager more than a simple description of your personal qualities. 3. Be honest Every day recruiters scroll through dozen CVs and most often they are very alike, so it will be difficult for you to impress them. However, you don’t need to show off or makeup stories, which didn’t happen. You will probably be asked about them in a real-life interview and it would be more than embarrassing when the truth comes out. That is why it is better to talk about your skills sensibly. Your potential employer knows that you don’t have all the skills of an experienced worker, so he won’t expect something outstanding. You simply need to be honest, demonstrate all your skills and use clear examples. Honesty is always a great way of delivering information, so you need to be clear and precise to make a good impression. 4. Change your CV format There are various types of layouts, which may serve different needs. Some of them highlight work experience, while others aim to hide weak sides or lack of education. Try to choose the format, which will suit your needs in the best possible way. You can put your strongest features first, distracting attention from the lack of experience. For example, write about your education in the first place and make employment less relevant. Indicate all of your social projects, which may be more useful than your paid work. Don’t worry to experiment with your CV and make it serve your career instead of dragging you down. However, never forget about the style and policy of the company you are contacting. Use classical style and fonts, less visual effects and professional language in order to sound as serious and qualified as possible. 5. Additional activities Remember that various social projects or volunteer work may be as important, as a paid job, so don’t hesitate to indicate your extra-curricular projects, as you would state a paid job. Indicate the time you have worked on the project, your skills and additional knowledge you have gained. For most of the companies, such experience can be even more important than a regular job without any interesting and challenging projects. Try to use a vivid language and bright examples to show how diverse your responsibilities were and it will surely drag attention of the potential employer. 6. Use Your Degree Talking about your degree can be a great way of indicating your transferable skills, so don’t hesitate to use this way of listing your strong sides. For example, if you wrote a thesis, you can say that you are able to analyze and research academic information. If you have completed various presentations, you can indicate that you have experience creating presentations and visual materials. Don’t think that if you lack work experience you won’t be able to impress the hiring manager: use your skills and degree to show how you can be useful for the company and it will definitely help you to get an invitation for a real interview.

The 10 commandments of doing an internship in London - Debut

The 10 commandments of doing an internship in London - Debut You ever look at the London Eye (or the Coca-Cola London Eye now, bleurgh) and wonder if its the very eye of God himself? Well, for all you know it is. Were a funny breed here in the big city. We believe that the God of London is real; its spirit hovers over the waters of the Thames, gently gentrifying and raising house prices. We pray to it on the Tube with silent deference. So shall it pass its judgement on you while you do an internship in London. For those brave souls who flirt with damnation on the daily, Debut London Gods earthly representatives and  graduate recruitment app of choice drafted this list of ten commandments. Read on to spare yourself a terrible vengeance. 1.  Thou shalt adhere to the dress code always London God frowns upon the Shoreditch kids wearing see-through plastic t-shirts and sockless loafers. Dont follow them. Before you start an internship in London, make sure you get the skinny on the office dress code well in advance. And if you see the words office-casual and dont know what they mean, do investigate that first. If not, you might end up wearing a suit to work at a start-up a cardinal sin. 2. Thou shalt not speak during the rush-hour commute Ive said it before and Ill say it again. The commute is a sacred time for quiet prayer and reflection on your to-do list and unread work emails. Anybody caught violating this most holy of laws shall be subject to much shushing and sideways glancing. 3. Thou shalt not be falsely idle You will not survive an internship in London without a lot of work to do. So when you dont have it, its your job to find it. If you run out of things to do, volunteer and make yourself available wherever possible. Doing this will show that you have some of that famous initiative which is known to please London God. 4. Thou shalt remember Happy Hour and keep it holy On a Thursday in the 8 hours between 9am and 5pm, God created London. Then in the ninth hour, God said Let us go to the pub on the corner and crack open a few cold ones. And God saw that it was good. Londoners honour this tradition with Happy Hour, during which there is much praise and worship of real ales and cheap cocktails. So I say unto you, take this as a golden opportunity to bond with your new colleagues. 5. Thou shalt not make yourself a cuppa without asking anyone else if they want one Its said that you should love thy neighbour as thyself. Well in London, there is no greater show of affection than making someone a piping hot drink. To treat yourself to that joy and not offer the same to your peers is death in some cultures, especially if youre an intern. Take note. 6. Thou shalt not say the companys name in vain (on social media) Seems like every other week a millennial gets in trouble for saying mean things about their jobs online. Thats not gonna go over well on an internship in London. Complaining about work is only gonna make you feel worse anyway, so just dont so it. You dont wanna end up as a front page story on MSN.com, do you? Didnt think so. 7. Thou shalt not kill your curiosity Not sure about something? Curious about how the business really works? Dont keep you burning questions to yourself. Getting as much knowledge out of your internship in London will stand you in good stead to reach the promised land of permanent employment. So remember to pick your colleagues brains whenever you can. 8. Thou shalt not go to Pret more than once a week Its overpriced and bad. London God wants you to push the boat out every now and again. 9.  Thou shalt not commit manager adultery Youll likely have a direct manager or mentor for the duration of your internship. Look out though, a lot of other people are gonna want to use you as an extra pair of hands. Your manager, however, is the one that writes the gospel for you. If someone else asks you to do a task, run it by them first. Otherwise, youll find yourself stuck in the wilderness with a whole lot of extra work. 10. Thou shalt not burn bridges This is a terrible, terrible sin. One of the most valuable things you can get from an internship in London is a network. So start building it. When you finally leave at the end, say your goodbyes and thank yous but also get email addresses. The people who helped you during the purgatory of an internship may just help you again when you get to job heaven. Amen.
