10 Amazing Ways to Find Your Dream Job
Start living a worry-free life again.
The North American job market has experienced a net loss of its high-paying industrial jobs due to a combination of outsourcing, bankruptcies and illegal employment practices employed by many North American corporations and businesses. These business practices appear at least for now to continue for many more years to come with no end in sight. This is very bad news for the hardworking people that depend on these jobs that are being dissolved at record-breaking paces, so that the rich shareholders and executives can only get richer no matter whom they have to hurt along the way.
While the high-paying industrial and manufacturing job market seems to be disappearing right before our very eyes, there is a ray of hope still left to land that dream job that you have always desired. The only thing, it's not going to be easy and a matter-of-fact, it's going to require some legwork on the jobseeker's part to locate the job, apply for the job and finally to get the job. Sadly, finding a good paying job in a country where quality jobs are disappearing and being replaced with sub-par service market jobs that usually only pay above minimum wage and offer little to no health benefits requires the jobseeker to rethink their employment searching tactics. Hopefully this article will help regenerate a new found hope of landing your dream job and if not, then possibility landing a good job that will keep you from calling a cardboard box “Home”.
Internet Employment Agencies
There are literally hundreds of thousands of new jobs being posted on the Internet by businesses everyday that are seeking quality employees to fill both low-wage jobs and high-wage or salaried jobs within their companies. While there are thousands of job employment websites popping up all over the Internet is really is a waste of valuable time trying to find and use them all. Most companies and corporations in North America rely on the most highly visible and visited job search engines such as: Hotjobs, Monster, Careerbuilder and Craigslist to find quality applicants to solve their employment needs.
Local Newspapers
For decades, the local newspapers have been a useful vehicle for local companies to use to solve their employment needs. Newspapers are still an important and somewhat successful way for companies to find quality employment applicants in the Internet-age, however jobseekers are not buying as many newspapers to locate employment much anymore and this is causing employers to find new ways to solve their employment problems. Still jobseekers should continue to use their local newspapers to locate their dream job, because some companies still only rely on newspapers to fill new employment opportunities that are available in their companies.
State Unemployment Agencies
In the United States there are governmental state unemployment agencies that are provided to aid each state's unemployed populations from issuing food stamp benefits, unemployment checks and to aid in the re-employment of their unemployed workforce. These state agencies maintain an up-to-date list of local companies and out-of-state companies seeking to fill new employment opportunities that are available within their companies.
It is not uncommon for many large, well-known corporations to solely use these state agencies to seek out quality qualified job applicants through these state operated programs. Even through many such companies are not listed in the standard public job listings that is generally provided by these state agencies doesn't mean that these types of companies and corporations are not currently hiring at any given time. Many times the state agencies will only share this type of information with jobseekers who inquire about these job opportunities by directly asking the state employed agents about the opportunities. So, it is important to ask and you may discover an employment opportunity that pays well and that you are qualified to do.
Internet Employment Opportunities
There are hundreds if not thousands of Internet based companies on the web and around the world that use only their websites to advertise internal employment opportunities within their companies. Not all of these employment opportunities are technical jobs, but many of these opportunities are geared towards the technically skilled applicant since they are in many cases solely Internet companies. However, some of the employment opportunities are marketing, customer service and data-entry positions that many jobseekers are qualified to do and these employment opportunities can be located and applied for through the company's website.
Internet Social Networking
Social networks such as Myspace and Facebook have become excellent places on the Internet to look for new employment opportunities, because companies understand and realize that there is potentially thousands of jobseekers that are members of these social networking meeting destinations. It makes good business sense to employ these social networks to advertise the company's employment needs and potentially find the quality job applicants that the company desires to employ, so to resolve the company's employment void.
A Friend of A Friend Networking
One of the tried and true methods of finding employment is to network through friends and family, because many times some of the best employment opportunities are found through the people that the jobseeker already knows on a personal level. Some companies even prefer to hire a person based solely on whom they know and on the information that their friends and family tells the employer about the jobseeker. Usually this is the case if the company that the jobseeker is currently seeking to be employed by already employs the friend or family member.
Search The Obituaries
Located in most of the major metropolitan newspapers there is a section that is used to make announcements of local deaths in the area. Now this job seeking tactic maybe regarded by some people as morbid, but if a working aged person dies, then the company that the individual had been employed by, will be left in the position to fill a newly available employment position left empty by the deceased. Many obituaries announcements will give the name, age and family members who are left behind by the deceased and where the deceased had been employed prior to their death. This is the information that the jobseeker needs to have to be able to locate the employer and apply for the recent job opening, just try to avoid mentioning the deceased during the application and interviewing process.
Place Your Own Help Wanted Ad
An excellent employment seeking tactic is to place your own help wanted ad in your local newspaper, Internet classifies message boards, blog and/or website. Making a public announcement to your community regarding what type of employment you are seeking can potentially attract the attention of employers seeking the skill set that the jobseeker has to offer to their company.
Telemarketing Your Job Search
It is a cold hard fact, that about 70% of all employment opportunities are never publicly announced or advertised and most of these jobs are either left unfilled or filled by jobseekers that are known by someone already working for the company. One of the most productive methods (albeit time-consuming) is to call local businesses using the yellow pages or blue pages phonebook to identify the businesses that have employment opportunities currently available. After these businesses are identified, then the jobseeker can email, fax or mail their job resume' to those employers that are hiring.
Distribute Personalized Business Cards
Have a couple of hundred personalized business cards printed with your name, phone number and/or email address and a short message saying something like “I am a hairstylist and I am available to work for your company - call me” or “I am looking for employment in the education field - Call me if you are hiring”. Pass out these business cards to anyone that your believe may be in the position to help you land a job or put you in contact with someone who is looking to hire someone like you. Potentially, everyone that a person comes in contact with on given day could be the one who either knows someone that might hire you and they may be in a position to hire you themselves, so it is very important to try not to judge someone if they are not dressed well or doesn't appear to be anyone important, because even those important people do dress down every once in a while.
