Introduction to Using Job Boards
Searching for jobs online is a common contemporary approach. There are job seekers these days who likely don't remember it any other way! Browsing job boards is as natural for today's job seeker as circling newspaper ads was for those from the "old school". Large sites have become recruiting institutions, and you should consider using them for direct job hunting as well as for research. Jobs are also posted on smaller niche sites as well as on association and corporate websites. Almost all companies with a website have a "career" section that advertises available positions or invites people to apply. Refer to the Using Job Boards Checklist for an overview of what to keep in mind during this process. When using job boards, you have to spend some time researching which ones are best for you. With some practice, you'll learn how to use each of them effectively and make decisions about how you want to approach your online search. Although searching for work online is a common practice, keep in mind that it's not the only road to success in landing a job. Don't rely on the internet alone - use more traditional approaches, as well as networking to round out your job search. In this step, we take you through 5 actions and provide you with a number of resources to make the most of your online search using job boards.
