Free Job Search - Myths about Free Job Search
9:17 AM |

There is a popular story that goes like this. There was once a king who wanted to pass on all the knowledge gained from his ancestors and experience to the future generations. So he asked all his philosophers and intellectual ministers to write down the knowledge that could be passed on as concisely and briefly as possibly. The compilation was a real bulky book and was continuously trimmed and shortened until the king agreed on a single line of knowledge that could be passed on further. It was – ‘There is no free lunch'!
It is amazing how that is so relevant to the title of the article here. There are more myths existent today than anything else regarding free online job searches. An attempt has been made here to bust those myths and help you get you the actual scenario about the free job search market.
• Free is the best: Many job sites that claim to have a free job search facility are actually faking it (no pun intended)! Not all, but most of such ‘free' sites are useless when it comes to providing good jobs. All they provide one is with free part-time jobs or free internship searches! Internships are as it is available easily over the internet; so why use a dedicated job site for that? It does not make any sense actually! But some of the top free job sites give a decent enough effort of helping you get a job.
• You can search on anything: Most of the free sites lay claim to another big ‘difference' from the paid sites. Since they are free, most users are tricked into believing that they can find any job they want. This is not true. Sometimes, job openings do appear on the free sites' radars but they are not in as much variety as they are in numbers. It is better to stick to self common sense when on a free job site.
• Free Local Job sites are useless: Free job search sites may have fewer jobs on offer, but not all of them are duping people. If you stay clear of any ‘list-building sites' that you come across, your fears can be safely rested. Free job sites in fact sometimes do a commendable job of providing jobs more since because they attract heavy advertisements!
• The flashier the site, the better are the links: Another important thing to be wary of is the rampant proliferation of free newsletters and advertisements in your mail inbox. What most people don't realize is that by taking your email IDs, they are only building their advertisement procurement list! They are, in this way, able to target many people in a single shot.
• Free email IDs work fine: Keep your free email IDs limited to the social networking sites. Once you enter the corporate arena (even when you're not employed), your employer expects you to be utterly professional and serious about your work – whether it is job searching or even working!

Clyde- 4 weeks- 3 interviews- 2 job offers- 7% salary increase + $10,000 signing bonus
Program Manager to Quality and Reliability Manager. Clyde's career progression had stalled a few months before...the division he supported had grown only slightly and no promotions were on the horizon...
General Review
Clyde's career progression had stalled a few months before he approached RL Stevens. The division he supported had grown only slightly and no promotions were on the horizon. He looked to RL Stevens' expertise and targeted, multi-channel marketing approach to return to a career growth path and greater responsibility.
His consultant developed that approach for him. He positioned Clyde with a look toward the future, emphasizing Clyde's senior-level experience and accomplishments. He provided research on high-growth, high-potential technology companies in his geographical area and helped him target and approach decision-makers in several of them. Since Clyde realized that his job search skills were rusty, he often relied on his consultant to edit his e-mails and letters, put the proper "spin" on his tailored resumes and decide the exact best approach to use to generate interviews.
Using the strategies, tactics and research provided by RL Stevens in addition to his consultant's individualized coaching, Clyde quickly began to generate quality interviews.
He called on his consultant before and after each interview for help preparing and following up. He turned down one offer that wasn't quite the right fit, but received a much better offer soon thereafter. His consultant helped him weigh the pros and cons of accepting and helped him negotiate a $10,000 increase from the initial offer.
SUMMARY:
Within one month, Clyde was able to make the transition to a growth position in a company whose upward path matches his desired trajectory.

Jobs - 7 Steps to Finding Jobs
The job market today is so complex that one cannot simply decide on what careers to concentrate upon. We simply have too many to choose from. And when we finally decide on our career options comes up the complex issue of how to find you the right job opening in that profession. Well worry no more coz we have all the answers to your questions. Read on to find out how to find a job in 7 simple steps.
1) Resume: A good resume is the first step towards finding a job. Summarize all your past achievements and positives in your resume. Customise it for different job interviews based on the recruiter's requirements. Remember that the first impression of an applicant is created by resume so make sure you create a lasting impression.
2) Contacts: Maintain a good networking with your contacts. Let them know that you are looking for a job so that they can pass you any information that might be helpful in getting a job for you. Maintain good relations with both your personal contacts and the business contact people. People who have worked with you in the past will have a true idea of your skills and work efficiency. Be it local jobs or government jobs contacts indeed will be good help in getting you one of either.
3) Speculative approach: This is a unique way of securing you a good job which sadly is very under rated. Think of it from an employer's point of view. They have to spend thousands of dollars to advertise in media about job vacancies. Then precious time is also wasted in the short listing and selecting procedure. ON the other hand if applicants just drop in their resumes at the office and if the recruiter just has to go through the resumes it saves a lot of time and money. The recruiter can simply read the resumes and locate someone useful for their need. An interview can then be arranged. This process will save the employer thousands of pounds and who doesn't love saving money.
4) Local Library: Use your local library to go through different regional and national newspapers. You can also get local phone books and business directory listings in these libraries. Use these facilities to locate a suitable vacancy.
5) Agencies: There are agencies that specialize in finding jobs for you. Get yourself enrolled in all the popular agencies you have heard of and see for you how it works wonders. They usually have a list of jobs which recruiters keep providing them from time to time for fresh intakes.
6) Online Job Search Engines: There are hundreds of online job search engines some of which specialize in finding you legal career options. Upload your resumes in as many of them as possible and it will definitely help you with a suitable job. These engines are so user friendly that you can easily register and start using one today.
7) Attitude: Keeping the right attitude is very essential for getting a job. Be friendly to one and all and never ever be rude to anyone.

Job Interview or Free Consulting?
Job interviews often require you to show your skills by demonstrating how you would solve a specific problem. Very reasonable... but what if you suspect you are being asked to address a situation that vexes your prospective employer. Your best efforts will help your employer while you gain no reward.
When this happens, you may find yourself wondering if you've been invited because the interviewer wants to pick your brain. You sense they want your expertise without paying for it.
Professional consultants run into this challenge all the time. That's why so many independent professionals charge for a diagnosis and preliminary review of your business challenge.
When interviewing, you may feel more constrained, especially if you need or really want the job. Here are some suggestions - but it is always a judgment call. You are on the scene.
(1) Are your interviewer's requests common within your industry?
If not, recognize a red flag. For example, a senior manager normally would not be asked for a writing sample. You have to decide if the company is coming from left field or if the HR people are incompetent or bored. Your own boss may be unaware or unable to change the hiring process.
(2) Did you initiate the contact through a back-door or informational interview approach?
As a mid-life career changer, you might be selling the employer on creating a job, not just filling one. Some experts recommend using the opportunity to demonstrate your problem-solving skills by presenting yourself as a consultant, not a candidate.
(3) Are you being asked to disclose information about specific programs and processes from your current career or business?
I would view these requests as a danger signal. Your manager may be testing your loyalty and ethics. If not, you have to ask about this prospective employer's value system..
(4) Are you asked to prepare a written report?
Be sure to write your name and identifying information on every page.
Frankly, I would take a risk and ask directly, "If you implement my recommendations, what will my compensation look like?" You will learn a lot about the company from the response you get to your question.
(5) Are you asked for on-the-spot recommendations to a specific, complex challenge?
This technique may be legitimate. Some interviewers want to see how you approach a problem, such as the kinds of questions you ask. Your interviewer may want to assess how you think on your feet.
But sometimes they are facing a real problem and they want to get free advice. Consider saying something like, "We had a similar problem in my last job. And here is what I did..."
Bottom line: If you haven't undertaken a job search for awhile, you may be surprised by your interviews. A senior manager faces challenges you never experienced in your earlier career. Interview styles change over time. And your career may have moved to a new industry with different customs and culture.

Network Your Way to Your New Job - Using Three Easy Techniques
Networking is the new buzz word - it's everywhere these days. It was known by catch phrases like, "It's not what you know - but who you recognize" or being half of "The Sensible Ol' Boys Club". Business-centered networking today will really be a powerful career management tool but it takes effort and time to form it effective. Amazingly, it's estimated that than seventy% of jobs are being found through word of mouth - networking is vital! There are various kinds of networking some are terribly informal and others are strategically developed for optimal outcomes. Described below are 3 main ways to launch your networking plan.
CONTACTING ALL THOSE YOU KNOW - The probably most blatant kind of networking is done by going through your entire address book and business card collection. Fixing an organized routine of systematically working through your list; communicating with friends, family, coworkers, colleagues, and acquaintances keeps you on track. Make sure to conjointly include association members, church friends, folks you volunteer with, and your kids's friends' folks, coaches, and academics on your contact list. Stay aware for opportune moments to mention you're wanting for work, begin with those in similar trade or field so they will keep their ears open and perhaps build some calls to others who will make some calls to others - and therefore on - and therefore on - and thus on...
Be honest with those that you don't usually socialize with and allow them to recognize you're curious about talking with them regarding your seek for the proper job.

You'll give them your card and write the address of your resume on the back of the card therefore they can easily pass along the positioning to other interested parties who will immediately see your qualifications and have your contact data waiting.
REFERRALS - My personal favorite networking shoppers come back from referrals. Working in an exceedingly service oriented profession; every referral to me, feels like a compliment or award. It suggests that someone liked my work enough to inform others concerning it and absolutely pass my name on when somebody is trying for assistance writing a resume or preparing for their job search.

The happier my purchasers are the a lot of they can pass my name to others wanting for help and I build sure to keep that in mind with each client or potential shopper I speak with.
In terms of looking for a job, referrals will be the strongest and fastest method to an interview. The referring contacts can do the selling of your qualifications for you and the employer will assume you'll be able to give a prime quality of labor as a result of the referral is returning from a reliable source. So, talk with your contacts and let them recognize you'd appreciate them passing on your name to others.

Active v. Passive Job Search
Before the days of the Internet, the only way to find a new job was to look for one. Nowadays, with the emergence of on-line recruiting tools, there is another way: you can get the job to find you.
What do we mean? It's best illustrated by referencing two different job search methodologies: "active" and "passive"
Active Search
In an Active Job Search, you look for jobs that meet your career objectives. This traditional method involves searching and monitoring job listings posted by employers and recruiting firms, and typically involves a substantial and consistent time commitment on the part of the job seeker. Although the Web makes it convenient – you can access it all from the comfort of your chair – it also poses a problem: with all the information about jobs out there, how do you find the source that actually represents your next job? You're still left with a high-tech version of the proverbial needle and haystack. And some web sites charge you for access to their job listings …. do you need to be doing that, or can you get the same information for free if you know where to look?
In an active job search, the onus is on you to find answer these questions and find the sources that are most likely to have the type of opportunity you're looking for. Although you should certainly look at other sites, at lawmatch.com our jobs database contains over 2,500 unique current listings that are updated daily (the updates are noted on the homepage). These listings consist of opportunities posted directly by employers at Lawmatch.com, plus hundreds of additional legal jobs culled nightly from the Web sites of thousands of corporations, law firms, non-profit organizations and government agencies. We exclude listings from search firms and agencies, and otherwise spend considerable time manicuring this data so that it is best-targeted to our audience with the least amount of duplication and chaff. If you've not looked through our listings I invite you to do so.
Passive Search
In a Passive Job Search, you post your resume and credentials in an on-line resume database that is searched by employers, and you rely on the employer to make the match. Or alternately, you establish a "search agent" at a jobs database that will forward to you any new listings that meet certain criteria that you specify.
This passive method has the advantage of requiring less time from the job seeker: you fill out your profile (or search agent) once, and then wait for appropriate jobs to come to you. In addition, a passive search also gives you exposure to opportunities that might not otherwise be posted on any job board (some employers no longer publish their open positions at all because their ads get picked up and re-posted all over the Web, generating endless streams of resumes and candidate inquiries long after the position has been filled).
If you're not currently employed and engaged in an open-ended search, there's no reason not to apply both methodologies (it's a numbers game). If you're currently employed and your legal job search is truly confidential you might be reluctant to add your resume to an on-line database – a legitimate concern that we'll address in our next entry.
