I found an article on Yahoo that lists the Top Ten tips to land a job, I included five of them:
| Create a professional profile – Use social networking tools, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to build contacts and create a professional online personality. Over 50% of employers use these sites to post jobs and recruit prospective employees. | |||
| Publicize your job seeking – Don’t hesitate to tell family, friends, and colleagues that you’re looking for a job so that they can inform you of any possible job opportunities. | |||
| Inquire about employee referral programs – These programs are designed to find trustworthy hires, based on employee recommendations. This can be beneficial for all parties; it gives you a job and the company a reliable hire. | |||
| Create face-to-face relationships – The best way to make an impression on a prospective employer is in person. Seek out “informational interviews” to give you a competitive edge. | |||
| Participate in organizations – Professional networking groups, civic organizations, and community service are great networking outlets. These organizations are excellent ways to stay involved in the community and informed of upcoming events. | |||
