1. Jobs on Facebook
We think of Facebook as a place to interact with friends, but it also features a large employment board. The Jobs link is in the Explore area on the left column of your desktop or laptop Facebook home page. You may use the Facebook mobile app, which is available from Google Play for Android and iTunes for iPhones.
If you see a job opening that interests you, click the Apply Now option. This will take you to the employer's Facebook profile. When you click Apply Now again, a page containing your name and any schooling or career background you've made public on your Facebook profile appears. You may also introduce yourself in 1,000 characters or less in the text box. When you press the Send button, the information is sent to the employer as a Facebook message.
The opportunity to give an employer a minisummary of yourself based on your Facebook page, rather than needing to build a new profile and attach a résumé, is the best feature.
2. Job Search via LinkedIn
LinkedIn, the social networking site, includes a job-hunting app called LinkedIn Job Search. A Jobs link displays in the top of your profile page as well. When you click on the symbol, you will be sent to a screen that lists jobs that the program feels may be of interest to you based on your LinkedIn profile experience and firms with whom you have relationships. As a result, LinkedIn is a market leader in working your relationships for a recommendation.
You may let recruiters know you're looking for work by checking a box under the Update Preferences page. You write a brief (no more than 300 characters) introduction outlining your goals. This tool is intended to be secret, which means no one in your public relationships will know you're interacting with recruiters. "We take measures not to disclose your present firm that you're available," the site warns, "but we can't guarantee that we can identify every recruiter linked with your company."
While the basic LinkedIn Job Search is free, the site also offers a premium subscription for a monthly fee beginning at $24.99 that includes features such as comparing you to other job applicants for the position, providing specific salary information, and elevating you to the top of recruiter lists as a featured applicant.
The best characteristics are: That alerts recruiters that you're on the hunt. And notifications about which LinkedIn acquaintances have contacts at companies where you want to work.
3. glassdoor.com
The app's search filter sifts through millions of job ads on the web to locate suitable opportunities for you based on region, pay, firm size, and job description. Have you found anything you like? You may apply right from your mobile. These are common features in employment applications, but Glassdoor goes above and above in assisting you in understanding a firm that has an opening that intrigues you.
To begin, you may read evaluations of the firm written by current and past workers, and the numbers are staggering. The Home Depot entry had 13,578 employee ratings when I last looked, giving the firm an overall rating of 3.5 stars (out of five). There is statistics on how many workers enjoy a company's CEO and how it compares to others in terms of employee perks. Are you curious in the appearance and feel of a specific workplace? You may look through images taken by staff' cameras.
You must bear in mind the limits of internet evaluations regarding anything - individuals usually go to the bother of publishing a review when they want to complain rather than sing praise. Nonetheless, the review option might provide you with an insider's insight of working at a certain organization. Furthermore, Glassdoor has a policy of not allowing employers to remove or change reviews.
4. Job Search on Indeed
The Indeed Job Search app compiles job ads based on your preferences – industry, income, and more — from all of the major online job boards, newspaper classifieds, associations, and business career sites into one convenient spot. Based on your device's GPS location, you may see opportunities in surrounding towns. Set up email notifications to notify you when new jobs in a certain category become available.
When you locate a job you like, bookmark it so you may apply later when you have more time to concentrate. Alternatively, if you have already posted your résumé, you may send it in immediately with a personalized note attached. The software keeps track of every job you apply for.
5. snagajob.com
Snagajob focuses on matching you with hourly work. There are a variety of professions available, including cashier, delivery driver, restaurant greeter, security guard, and others. By clicking on the links to Houston or San Francisco, you'll be able to uncover by-the-hour possibilities in those locations.
You may search for local job vacancies and get Daily Job Matches notifications on your phone or tablet. Positions may be filtered by schedule (part-time, seasonal, summer), job category (automotive, construction, food and restaurant), and distance from your house. The app has a map feature that displays the company's location. While Snagajob displays many positions that take just a tap to apply, some require a lengthier procedure of applying on the company's website.
6. JobR
The massive employment board Last June, Monster acquired this rapidly growing start-up tool. It functions similarly to a trendy dating app. After creating a profile and uploading your résumé, you enter the sort of work you're searching for — say, sales — and your area to get started. When possible employment appear on your screen, you swipe left to ignore and move on, and right to apply – much like you would with a potential love match.
You'll be better off going slowly. You may never see the position again if you swipe left. If you swipe right, you may be applying for the job too soon, without contemplating if it's a good fit for you or how you might make yourself stand out. To assist you, the app includes a virtual career concierge who answers your questions as you go.
7. Job Search on ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter Job Search began in 2010 as a platform for small companies to advertise jobs, but has since expanded significantly and currently aggregates postings from over 100 job sites.
The software requires you to create a profile on the site and submit a résumé and cover letter, which you may change as you go to tailor to the requirements of certain businesses. You may save a job that intrigues you and then apply for it later from your home computer. You may also create custom alerts for up to 20 different job kinds, with daily notifications emailed to you.
You may join a database of active job searchers, where thousands of companies and recruiters can search for individuals with your abilities and (hopefully) choose you to be contacted. That differs from the typical job site concept, in which you approach the company. You'll get status updates, such as when your résumé has been read, which may provide valuable insight into how your résumé and experience are doing in the market.
8. LinkUp
LinkUp displays jobs that can only be found on corporate websites. This gives you a clear picture of what is frequently referred to as the "hidden employment market." The truth is that the big job search engines depend on companies to give them with listings of open positions. That means the engines don't have jobs "hiding in plain sight" on the websites of firms that don't wish to list with the main engines for any reason. LinkUp is updated every day and now includes over 3 million jobs.
9. Switch
Switch is a rising star, but his scope is still limited. It mainly connects job searchers in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area with firms providing positions in technology and media. However, it is spreading to other businesses and cities.
This software urges you to submit your LinkedIn profile and résumé. After you sign up, Switch will send you daily employment recommendations based on your history and region. As with JobR, you swipe right if you're interested in a job and left if you're not.
But you're anonymous here. When you indicate interest, hiring managers only view your professional profile and not your name or contact information. If they enjoy it, you'll be instantaneously linked to them so you can have a virtual conversation about the opening.
Switch's inconspicuous platform enables you to be "on the market" without worrying that your present employer or customer will find out (but you can never be certain that word won't get out). Companies on your profile are immediately excluded from receiving your profile.
