Proven Methods of Finding a New Job

There are many tactics used for finding a new job in this slow market of 2009-2011. Certain ones are time-worn, cumbersome and slow which were used in earlier job searches. If you are currently actively searching for new employment, now is the time to consider the recent successful ways for finding a new job.

In the "Good Old Days", a candidate had a print shop run of hundreds of resumes on mute color resume-quality paper. As leads opened up, they stuffed their resume along with a carefully crafted cover letter into a matching color business envelop. The US mail delivered the documents to the company mail room and ultimately the Personnel Department.

Once at Personnel (or HR as they later became known), the resumes are read and sorted into groups for review by a Hiring Committee. Over the next few months, various print ads were run to attract the required qualified candidates. Several internal meetings were held over the next 2 months to further sort and reduce the applicants to a small group for preliminary phone interviews, often with HR only. Only then actual face-to-face interviews occurred.

Now with the wide adoption of computers, home printers and of course the internet, many changes in the process of finding a new job have occurred over the last eight years. The time spent between the realizations that a new hire is needed until their hiring has been shortened by months. HR had been eliminated years earlier as a non-profit drag on a company's profits.

The NEW paradigm starts with finding a job opening on job boards and emailing the resume electronically through the internet. The electronic resume often goes directly to your eventual bosses' company email account. The sorting and evaluating process often begins immediately with phone interviews and face-to-face interviews being quickly scheduled. Often the particular job is filled in 10 days or less.

If you're depending on all of the conformist approaches and strategies to landing a job - (job boards, resume distribution, career websites etc, etc) then the chances are high that you're going to be joining the ranks of the long-term unemployed, if you haven't done so already.

NOT at all like the in the "Good Old Days". A complete discussion of NEW job search tactics is available now at http://muchbetterjobs.com
