I myself recently got lucky and landed a job working for the Marriott. I was looking online for jobs in the area and on one of the online sites I saw the Marriott was hiring so in turn, I applied and they called me in for an interview and I was hired. Once you are able to score an interview with a company, you need to sway them and convince them that you would be the best asset to their company.
A lot of jobs nowadays have websites that will give you contact info and who or where you should send your resume/application in order to be considered for employment. Not too long ago this was not the case because the internet was not very popular, let alone even around.
There are four different types of web sources for job seekers:
- Job networking websites -Forums on Professional websites and joining clubs in your related fields are a good way to put your foot in the door.
- Resume Websites - These are what i mentioned above, They allow you to post your resume and have a matching service for companies and peoples resumes.
- Specialized Job Sites - These help If you have been in the same field for a long time and something recently happened in your job. You can look at these sites to try to find another job that you have a specialty in.
- Company Websites - These are just ordinary company websites such as Verizon or Intel. You can directly send them a resume and application in order to try to land a job with them.

ReplyDeleteSearching online is a very effective way to seek employment. It is good to hear about your success in finding a job online. Blog was put together well.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I especially liked how you used a personal anecdote about your own job searching. The biggest thing that I think needs improvement is your grammar and punctuation; do not make your posts too informal. Also remember that each post needs a picture or YouTube video that relates to the topic you are discussing. I also like how your blog discussed the importance of the internet in job searching.
