Online Job Search Tips

Performing an online job search should be simple. When you select job search sites to use in your search for a job, make sure that you pick one that is easy to navigate, that has a good number of open positions listed, and that has features that will make applying for jobs easy. Searching for a job can be very irritating, especially if you only have a small window of time in which you need to find a job before you run out of money. The last problem that you need to encounter is having problems conducting your online job search. This is why it is important to select a site that is easy to navigate.

It should not take you an hour to finally get from a selection page on a site to the page that gives you the actual open positions listings. While it is important to answer questions that will guide you to positions that you are qualified for, no one has the time to spend an hour answering one hundred questions. These sites need to be easily navigable and have tools and features that will help you to speed up your search, not impede it. You also want to be able to find a site that has a decent number of job listings available. Don’t be fooled by sites that claim to have tons of open positions only to find out that they are from disreputable companies, make sure that the site offers real open positions.

Finally, you will need to find a site that will make applying for a job easy. Most sites will let you upload your resume or immediately apply for a position. Sites with these features will make your hunt for a job much easier and faster. Given the amount of time that you will be spending searching for a job online, you need to find a search engine that is running to maximize the time that you spend by making the site easy to use and making sure that the job postings are current and from reputable companies.

> History.

> Career paths.

> The location of the interview.

> Number of employees.

> How long has the company being operating.

> Are there any subsidiary companies involved in this company.

> Who are the major competitors of this company.

> Who is the direct supervisor.

Interview Tips

Some General Job Interview Tips

• Do not smoke, chew gum, or eat garlic beforehand.

• Wear suitable interview clothes.

• Take copies of your CV with you.

• Arrive on time for your job interview.

• Any applications handed before the interview begins, are to be filled in as accurately as possible, make sure they match the information in your Cv and Cover Letter.

• Always greet the interviewer by his/her last name and try to pronounce it correctly.

• Have a good firm handshake.

• Look alert and interested. Scan the room once and then keep your eyes on the interviewer.

• Wait until you are offered a chair before you sit down.

• Stress your achievements.

• Always conduct yourself professionally and if something beyond your control occurs, show a sense of humor.

• Be enthusiastic and show it in your replies and body language.

• Answer the interview question by more than a simple yes or no but try not to go over the 60 second limit.

• Avoid at all cost complaining about your current or former employer in your job interview.

• Do not answer questions about politics or religion if the job is completely unrelated.

• Do not raise salary discussions on your first interview - this is usually done on the second interview. Make sure you do your wage research before hand.
