I hope you found your weekend to be refreshing and full of job leads. If not, I hope this post will help you find a job search direction.
Every Wednesday I lead the Internet workshops for MPRI at the Michigan Works on Harriet Street, and every Wednesday I ask the same question, "how does the Internet affect your job search?" The answer of course is, "a lot." If you are someone who still has trouble understanding basic Internet skills I encourage you to sign up for free computer help with the Ann Arbor Public Library.
If you understand the basics, but are having trouble finding the right job seeking websites then read on.
Finding a job is a full time job. Your Internet search, despite the speed of being online, will require you to do some researching of job search websites and of the companies you find.
The first thing that I encourage you to do is to FIND A DIRECTION. Try to discover an industry that you feel the most qualified in applying for.
After you have found a direction you should Aggressively Check the Websites that we have linked to on our front page. Those sites include, but are not limited to, Craigslist, Indeed, and The Michigan Talent Bank. This may mean that you check some or all of these sites at least three times a week if not more as they are constantly being updated. Also, don't forget to check your classified's which are now online for free!
Once you have found some job leads and responded to them online Don't Forget To Call Back those companies to find out what the status of your application is. You never know if an employer is looking for someone with initiative...be that person.
