March 23, 1996: Resources for Resume Distribution
Although we are obviously fond of our Recruiter's Database with it's 1700 listings, there are alternatives. The Franklin Search Group (one of our Top 25) specializes in medical and biomedical placement. They also offer sales of paper Recruiting Directories. The extensive collection of reports offer you the opportunity to target Recruiters along geographic or specialty areas.
March 22, 1996: Finding Opportunites
Take a look at JobWeb. This extensive site is a university / business partnership designed to make transitions between the two worlds more effective. They've recently redesigned the graphic look and feel of the Website to make searching through the opportunities and resources easier. They're worth a look.
March 21, 1996: Finding Opportunities
We've added a dozen or so search engines to the Top 25 Recruiters page. We're increasingly trying to make it a one stop shopping page for Job Hunters. You can search for job listings in the major career sites from this page. Take a look.
March 20, 1996: Internet employment resources are growing at an exponential rate. For the job hunter, this means an overabundance of opportunities and a corresponding problem sorting through it all. We like services that are focused on precise professional niches, as a result.
MECA's approach is to simplify the recruiting process for businesses looking for MBA talent. Each MBA resume is indexed and searchable by degree year, degree school, functional interests, and geographic location, making it easy for recruiters to locate those professionals that will best suit their needs. Once a resume(s) suitable to the recruiters' needs is located, the recruiter is free to contact the individual directly for additional information without any further interaction with MECA. At $150 per resume submittal (for a 90 day posting) many users will suffer a bit of sticker shock. We bet it's worth the investment and tons less expensive than the equivalent postage.
March 19, 1996: Creating Opportunity
The "Net" increases your ability to Network. We don't mean pretending to be interested in someone or something while you're really looking for a job (informational interviewing). Rather, the net offers a solid oppportunity to learn more about and participate in the things that excite you. As the web becomes a living library of experts and ideas, you can become a part of the organic growth.
Try exploring the areas of your expertise and interest in directories like Yahoo. Explore. If you see something that you can contribute to, contribute. You'll find that participating in a conversation about your intyerests leads to new relationships and opportunities. Down the road, when you're a known commodity, your opportunities can increase significantly. It's a longer term version of networking based on making a meaningful contribution. Web networking is based on demonstrated public contribution.
We've added 19 new recruiting sites to our lists. Check them out early.
March 18, 1996: Using The Net
Some of the advice you'll find in traditional job hunting sources doesn't apply on the net. The difference is that the volume of information available for your use is so huge that you need a variety of approaches to handle it all.
The conventional wisdom is, for instance, that you should never pay to have your resume listed. The reasoning goes....since recruiters make their money from client companies, they should provide this service to job hunters for free. While it makes some sense to see things this way, the Web is a maze of opportunities and you have to work hard to stand out amidst competitors who are actively promoting their credentials packages. It's also the case that the workplace is changing rapidly.
Marketing yourself is a personal responsibility. Not all places that charge for placing your resume online are worth the expense, but some are. Being seen is the key and the question you want to ask is "How many people do I reach for my invvestment?"
To say that you shouldn't pay for this service is similar to saying that you shouldn't have to pay postage.
