Networking Job Seekers For 100K+ Jobs

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

The recruiting industry has changed dramatically from a year ago, as jobseekers now have the upper hand in terms of the wealth of information and advice available online. Social media continues to play an increasingly important role in the job market as the use of Twitter, LinkedIn, FaceBook and other networking sites grow. JobConcierge is inviting jobseekers to connect on its social networks to keep up to date on the newest job advice and strategies, and to network with recruiters and other job seekers.

“There are plenty of opportunities to share and network with others on JobConcierge, One of the factors that sets us apart from other jobsites is the number of different channels we use to interact and share information with jobseekers. Whether you follow our tweets (http://twitter.com/jobconcierge) along with our base of over 10,000 followers, interact with our 1,000+ members on the JobConcierge FaceBook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=140213070625), follow our job advice bookmarks on StumbleUpon or just receive periodic newsletters from us. We’re proud that JobConcierge is one of the few jobsites that actually encourages people to interact with one another,” says Jason Lee, JobConcierge.com founder.

“We definitely encourage jobseekers to check out the individual JobConcierge social networks and see which ones they’re most interested in joining all the networks, as well as the information on our website, are free. an added benefit, we offer our members as well as those who are connected with us on social media special benefits, invitations and discounts; they’ve received access to our Job Fair Database (http://www.jobconcierge.com/job-fairs) and Best Job Sites (http://www.jobconcierge.com/best-industry-job-boards) list weeks before the general public and have been able to participate in promotions and sweepstakes.”

People don’t realize is that when they search through online job boards they are finding the same jobs that everyone else has already found. This is the reason why their job searches don’t go anywhere. We found that by only using the major job boards, many job searchers were missing as much as half the jobs that are relevant to them. “We’re proud to offer the JobConcierge job search optimization service that’ll put more people back on track towards finding the careers of their dreams.” says Jason Lee, JobConcierge.com founder.

JobConcierge helps jobseekers widen their job searches and increase their chances of finding the right jobs in less time, by focusing on job search optimization. JobConcierge is a human-powered job search service where real people search through over 300 job boards and submit applications.

Find Executive Level Jobs Tips: Executive Social Networking Online

Monday, December 7th, 2009

From recent graduates to executives who are earning over $100k a top embrace social media and start a proactive job search. The recruiting industry is changing over the past year dynamically; finding candidates via posting ads on the traditional job boards or hiring headhunters is replaced by the method of looking at the candidates’s profile on linkedin or using their own due diligence. If you haven’t made your account on linkedin, twitter, facebook than make it today. In today’s environment you have to upgrade yourself otherwise you will be left behind. As the limited space is given , I’ll skip the basics and take my concerns on personal branding and differentiating your job applications with linkedin.

Start extending your personal brand by joining and participating on discussions on facebook and lindedin. Q&A section is in linkedin and specialized groups are in both sites. Answering questions and participating in discussions is the best way to promote you. The web scouring recruiters and people who enjoy your posts can add and connect with you if you leave your email address, signature and other media information at the bottom of your message. The only way is for this to be sincere and consistent. Jobconcierge facebook is the best way to start. Frustration makes people quit and but you become successful by giving small time periods weekly or monthly.

Integrating social networking with the job applications is the second phase of differentiating your job applications. Searching through the jobsites is very tiring and time consuming and itself a job. The best way to start is niche job boards. If you want success and want to maximize chances of your next job than this is must. When you are searching jobs online and start finding joins which are relevant to you than you start mentally start dividing jobs in the following categories: (1)ideal job or (2) willing to work there. Job applying is a game itself, if you apply more the chances of getting interviews is more. JobConcierge service really helps where you get a assigned HR recruiter who manually searches over 300 job boards to find the right jobs for you and applies too. What works is the executive search service.

The search can be more refined by using the search box which is their in linkedin in right upper hand side. The members within 1st and 2nd degree connections are contacted by the clients , I suggested. You can make a basic ground by joining the same interest groups in which the person is to whom you want to contact and in which there is no basic ground. By messaging people and talking them on phone is the best way to know more about the company what we suggested. The surprising thing is the results that how many people are willing to help. Whether they have any information on the posting can be judged through the conversation if you know anyone in a particular division can bring you a HR contact or you can send your resume directly to HR attached with a suggestion.

Think strategically and take things one step further now. In past seven days I’ve had two Jobconcierge members thank me and tell me they each have received job offers. How they did it? It is not any miracle. The online job search took care by their Jobconcierge each week and found relevant jobs for them. They reached out and networked with people on LinkedIn for ideal level jobs. Their Jobconcierge filled out and submitted their applications for all the other jobs. Job searching is itself a full-time job. It means using your time in most efficient way and maximizing your results. 50 hours a month is spending by an average jobseeker online and getting nowhere. By classifying jobs you find online, starting a proactive job search, and reaching out to various connections on LinkedIn things can be taken one step further. How far you get might be surprised you.
