GETTING HELP IN YOUR SEARCH - Excellent sites for both intent & content:
There are loads of sites out there related to job search, here’s a couple that I frequently recommend to others (in alphabetical order, not priority). I like these sites for both their intent and content.
- Alison has been writing about job search for a long time and offers some great insight.
- Resources provided by people just trying to help people in transition
- Creates a virtual business card that can sit ‘above’ all of your social networks – allows you to attach documents (resumes, references, proof of work, etc.).
- A nice blog with good content – also a great selection of lists of people to follow on Twitter, etc.
- More proof that networking is an international exercise – AnneMarie Cross and Keith Keller are career coaches from Australia. They have an amazing set of interviews on the site.
- This is a grass-roots organization where volunteer ‘angels’ try to help someone in transition
- Sure it says ‘America’ – but it offers great content for job search that will work anywhere!
- 15,000 links to job search related sites. When it comes to finding items related to job search – you’ve now found it.
- Besides a very ‘on point’ website name – this is loaded with videos – so gives you a break from reading, but no loss in the value of the content!
- I did not think there was a new twist to job boards – I stand corrected. Linkup takes jobs from only corporate web sites. As a seeker, these are real jobs. Nice. For now, it’s primary markets are the U.S. and U.K.
- Harry Urschel is a recruiter who writes this blog – besides having lived through his own transition, he has been deeply involved with a job transition group.
- TwitJobs offers jobs via social media – they have jobs covering multiple countries.
A fee-based site that is an on-line executive networking community that allows members to directly connect, executive forums, networking tools, searchable job engine. Of all the sites I’ve used, this has the most roles that were exclusive to this site (not on job boards, etc.). Also, their local networking meetings tend to be some of the best events to meet a wide group of people for industries, professions and companies.
Of course, there are loads more – but these will give you a good start!
