Subject : Fwd: Getting the most out of Online Job Boards




Do Online Job Boards Really Work?

The short answer is Yes, they do work.

Even though job boards are a new technology that have been around for just a few years, there are already many signs that they are a significantly more effective recruiting technology than what had been used before (mainly newspaper classified ads). Trying to guage the effectiveness of job boards is sort of like trying to figure out how fast you're going in a jet airplane. At 40,000 feet, you don't realize how fast the plane was moving you until you get to your destination.

In 2003, Monster.com earned about $423 million dollars from employers who paid to find candidates on their job site. And Monster is only one of the top job boards. Nationwide, employers spend over a billion dollars a year to recruit candidates from job sites.

How likely you are to find your next job through the Internet depends on a number of factors. One of them is the profession you're in. Some studies have suggested nearly 50% or even more of IT jobs are found online. For less tech-savvy positions, the chance of finding your next job online are generally lower. If most job seekers in your field are not tech-savvy, employers will probably not bother looking online for those types of candidates. For example, employers generally do not search the Internet for low-wage job candidates like home health aides and cashiers. The feeling is many of these people don't have computers and aren't on the job sites.

In other professions, there is a quickly changing dynamic. When job boards first became popular, most higher-level managers still had their secretaries do most of their work. It was not uncommon in 1997 for a CEO to spend little or no time on the computer since it was seen as an administrative tool. By 2000, that had started to change with many executives and other high level managers starting to see e-mail and the web as a necessity for doing their jobs and staying in touch with employees and customers. Whereas recruiters had originally thought executives would never look for jobs online, by 2002, a study by outplacement firm Drake Beam Morrin reported 6% of management-level jobs were found through the Internet in the prior year. This statistic is continually increasing with more and more management jobs being found online.

Even with the impressive growth of job boards, the top source for finding a new job is still by word of mouth in most professions. The 2002 Drake Beam Morrin study found 61% of management-level jobs were found through networking. The percentage tends to vary depending on the profession but usually anywhere between 40% and 70% of positions are filled by word of mouth. About 5% of jobs are still filled through newspaper ads. Overall, across all professions, job boards account for about 10-15% of all jobs found.

Here are some tips to get the most out of using job boards:

1. When you post your resume on a job site, make sure the salary you're asking for is in line with what other people with your background are looking for. Think about it from the employer's perspective: if you got a list of 50 resumes, and 45 of them are asking for a salary you think is reasonable and 5 of them are asking for a salary that seems high, which ones will you look at first? How do you know what a reasonable salary is? One way is to look at job listings for your profession in your local area and make sure what you're asking for is within the range of what employers are willing to pay.

2. Make sure your resume is compelling. Your resume is your representative.
Would you hire someone to represent you if they didn't look at least as professional as you yourself? Probably not. Same goes for resumes. Make sure your resume is free of spelling and grammatical errors (use the spelling and grammar check in Microsoft Word). Make sure your resume is easy to read and can be understood by a layman. If a busy recruiter has 50 resumes to look through on a job board and they can't understand within the first 30 seconds of looking at your resume how you can help their company, they'll just skip on to the next resume. No one wants to work any harder than they have to. For some free examples of great resumes, check out this site:

3. Keep in mind there are many job boards used by recruiters. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and rely on just one job board. Post your resume on several sites. You can use a service like PutMyResumeOnline which will do this for you. PutMyResumeOnline will let you enter your resume once and will then post it on over 90 job sites including Monster, HotJobs, CareerBuilder and many more:

4. In the best case, you could have a 50% chance of finding a job through a job board. In the worst case it could be as low as 10% or so. Knowing this, it makes sense to spend no more than 50% of the time you're alloting for job searching on using job sites. Just like when you invest in the stock market, you should diversify your portfolio and use several different job searching methods. Talk to people and attend events, for one thing. Word of mouth is the #1 way to find a job.

5. Don't think of job leads you get from job boards as just potential jobs. Think of them also as Networking Leads. When you get asked in for an interview after posting your resume or responding to a job ad, go there with a networking mindset. Regardless of whether you're meeting with a third party recruiter or a direct employer, your approach should be to think of opportunities to create a long-term relationship with the company or individual. If you are looking for ways to help them long-term -- whether it's referring friends to them or other potential business -- they will start thinking of ways to help you long term. They will also be more receptive to referring you to someone else if they don't think the position is the right fit for you.

6. Update your resume regularly on the most popular sites. Most job sites receive less than 1,000 resumes per day, which spread out across the thousands of counties in the U.S. does not amount to an inordinate number. However, the top 3 job boards - Monster, HotJobs and CareerBuilder - each receive 15,000 or more resumes per day. On these three sites, your resume will start appearing lower in the search results recruiters see after a couple weeks. Therefore, we recommend logging in to each of these 3 sites about twice a month and changing one or two words in the resume so it will appear as if it's updated.

7. Get Noticed. If you see a position on a job board that you feel is a good fit for you, make a conspicuous note of that in the email you send with your resume. Consider coming up with a headline for the message subject or the top of the email that will get the recruiter's attention, like "LPN NURSE WITH 6 YEARS EXPERIENCE WORKING IN HOSPITALS LIKE YOURS." A recruiter may get 100 responses or more to a job ad. They're more likely to look at a resume if there's a personal note relevant to the specific position. You can also consider faxing the resume with a service like FaxMyResume.com to bypass the recruiter's inbox. One caveat here: don't invest a lot of time with ALL the job ads you see - just the best ones.


I hope your job search is going well. For information on other helpful job searching resources, please feel free to visit our web site:

IRISH BOY IN CONFESSION

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman.

Is that you, little Timmy O'Donnel?

Yes, Father, it is.

And who was the woman you were with?

I can't be tellin' you, Father. Don't want to ruin her reputation.

Well, Timmy, I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley?

I cannot say.

Was it Patricia Kelly?

I'll never tell.

Was it Sheila O'Brien?

I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.

Was it Kathleen Morgan?

My lips are sealed.

Was it Fiona Grogan, then?

Please, Father, I cannot tell you.

The priest sighs in frustration. You're a steadfast lad, Timmy O'Donnel, and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend church mass for three months. Be off with you now.

Timmy walks back to his pew. His friend Sean slides over and whispers, What'd you get?

Three months' vacation and five good leads

One day while walking down the street a highly successful HR director was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had a human resources director make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," said the woman. "Well, I'd like to," replied St Peter, "but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in."

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven," said the woman.

"Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell.

The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends, fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her.

They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.

She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave.

Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and she found St Peter waiting for her.

"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing.

She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St Peter came and got her.

"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said.

The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell."

So St Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell.

When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.

The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.

"I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday, I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is, is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're staff..."

-- Orignal Message --

God was in the process of creating the universe. And he was explaining his subordinates ..........

"Look everything should be in balance. For example, after every 10 deers there should be a lion. Look here my fellow angels, here is the country of the United States. I have blessed them with prosperity and money. But at the same time I have given them insecurity and tension....

And here is Africa. I have given them beautiful nature. But at the same time, I have given them
climatic extremes....

And here is South America. I have given them lots of forests. But at the same time, I have given them lesser land so that they would> have to cut off the forests...

So you see fellows, everything should be in balance. One of the angels asked...

"God, what is this extremely beautiful country here?"

God said, "Ahah...that is the crown piece of all. "INDIA", my most precious creation. It has understanding and friendly people. Sparkling streams, serene mountains. A culture which speaks of the great tradition that they live.Technologically brilliant and with a heart of gold.....

The angel was quite surprised "But god you said everything should be in balance."

God replied - "Look at the neighbors, I gave them."

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
Bye from jaa.


YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute....

Work this out as you read...

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator....

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755.... If you haven't, add 1754.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number .

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are ....

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Dear Jignesh,

If you're thinking about a new job, now's the time to aggressively pick up your search. Many people slow down their job search during the holiday months when in fact it's the best time to look!

Here's why. Many companies implement a new direction or strategy at the first of the year, resulting in a "First of The Year" hiring surge. With New Year business strategies mapped out, companies start aggressively looking for resumes and interviewing new job candidates in November and December.

Oddly enough, while employers start hiring, job seekers often decide to wait to mount their search until after the holidays, feeling that no-one will be hiring until then. This creates an
optimal job seeking environment of more jobs and less competition!

One of the best ways to take advantage of this situation is to give yourself massive exposure by signing up to all the top career sites as soon as possible. Of course it will take a little time, but it's well worth it. The top career sites are visited by 1.5 million employers and recruiters daily - And collectively list millions of jobs.

If you want to save 60 hours of research and data entry, try a service called Resume Rabbit. Copy and paste the link below into your browser.

http://www.assessment.com/redir.asp?redir=139

They instantly post your resume to 75 of the top career sites. With this service you fill out one simple form in about 15 minutes and you'll be instantly seen on Job.com, CareerBuilder, FlipDog, Net-Temps, Dice, and more!

When searching for a new job, it's important to work smart and cover a lot of ground. Today's serious job seeker must take a multi-pronged approach to succeed. This should include
networking, reading all the classifieds, posting your resume on all the top career sites and searching job listings on all the top career sites daily.

From mid November to mid January, the holidays have a "slowing down" effect on day to day business operations. Many companies take advantage of this time to do their interviewing for the coming year. If you wait until January to start your search, you may be too late!

Make sure to set up accounts on all the career sites so that you can search through all the current jobs. And make sure to post your resume there so you'll be found by the employers
who are currently searching.

We recommend you try Resume Rabbit.

- It's a quality service that delivers what it promises.

Sincerely,
Henry Neils

P.S. Here are some ways people use their MAPP results...

1. To help determine which career to pursue.
2. To prepare for an interview. Talking about your strengths may not always be easy. Use MAPP to get your responses about your skills and aspirations down before you're 'on the spot'.
3. MAPP results can help to identify key phrases to use within your resume.
4. Use MAPP to help others understand how to best work with you.
5. Explain to your boss how to best manage you for best performance.
6. Create a successful team! Use MAPP in choosing a work partner who enjoys the tasks that you are not motivated to do.
7. Validate or prove that you have the necessary motivation for a promotion or different position.

WHY MEN LIE?? !!

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.


The woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe."Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.


Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Jennifer Lopez."

The moral of this story is:
Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honourable reason, and for the benefit of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it! -

"WE HONOURABLE MEN!!!!!!".....
