4 best ways for job search in internet

Sending CVs through internet. It is one of the simplest ways to send a CVs since minimum and more routine work is required. Where you want to start to send your CV?

Internet web sites that specifies on job search: http://www.jobs.ie/, http://www.irishjobs.ie/, http://www.monster.ie/, http://www.fas.ie/…….

Direct approach to the companies through emails: look at http://www.yellowpages.ie/ – find the area of your interest, find all companies that are stated under list and go through their web sites asking for job. You also can call directly to the company asking HR person to help you with the search, or even to stop by the company, giving them your CV. Unfortunately, due to the crisis, companies are more closed for conversations. Still it is a good chance to let them know about you. Usually if it is big company, they will take your CV into archive, and as soon as they would have some opportunity, they will let you know about it. It happened with me when one of the IT companies came back after a month, asking if I am still available for job opportunity in their company.

Specified web sites for the area of your interest such as:

http://www.fsi.ie (finance companies), http://www.businessworld.ie/cd/Top1000/index.htm (100 best companies), http://www.eastpoint.ie/move/map2.htm (business parks) and on and on...

Email with CV to all recruiting agencies in your city. It is use to be that head hunters were after people, now it is all the way around. The best way is to send your CV to as many recruiting companies as possible, and then call – trying to talk with somebody in regards of jobs. It happened to me when I was trying to make a call back to one of the recruiters I sent CV to, they said- “we got your CV in case of opportunity we call you back”. Still most of the recruiters were more friendly and at least talked to me over the phone.

Selling your CV

Nobody said it is going to be easy, but that is not an excuse to give up! It is not you who cannot find job that easily, it is the whole world straggling and going through the same experience as you do.
First of all you should understand – there is nothing wrong with you! Your skills and experience can suit most of the jobs available, and you will find a job when it is right time and right place. Before that happens you want to make sure that you tried as many ways of selling your CV as possible. My previous director said that if you work hard it takes 3 month to find first client. I tasted that theory many time, it doesn’t matter what you sell (tables, your CV, or other) it takes 3 (in this condition, maybe up to 5) months of search and you will get wanted result. Prepare to wait and be patience, in the same time be innovative and hard working. If you are looking for a job without any particular success for already 2 month, that means you will find job soon!
