3 Online Job Search Tricks

By Hello Beautiful July 6, 2009 11:01 am

Finding a job can be almost as time-consuming as actually having a job! For many people it can take days, weeks, even months, to land that dream job.

Here are 3 online job search tricks that could land you that dream job in no time from shine.com:

Answer questions on Linkedin
Your strongest chance of being hired is to find ways to show off your expertise and build relationships in your field. One easy way to do this is to troll the “Answers” section on LinkedIn and start responding to questions where you think you can be helpful. People whose answers get high ratings show up on a list of experts. Nabbing one of those spots is a terrific way to ensure that people using the site to fill a position will find your profile.

What are the top paying jobs for women?

Play around on Twitter, which offers a slew of ways to search for job postings, interact with recruiters in particular fields or geographic locales, and respond to listings. The beauty of job searching on Twitter is that there is a live person on the other end of a Twitter account and you just might be able to attract that person’s attention and engage in conversation. Job activity tends to be heaviest in web-related fields, but now that Twitter has gone mainstream, jobs are being posted because companies realize that all kinds of people are showing up on the service.


Find jobs on employer websites

Ever hunt around a web site unable to find the job listings even though it seems like they should be easy to find? Try this method, which should work with nearly any search engine.
