Are you getting ready to graduate from college or considering a career change? Do you need a little help in getting started?
If you’re a college senior or a recent graduate who is still seeking employment, don’t panic! Surveys report that hiring is up from last year, with many employers plan on hiring more employees than in the past.
Start Your Job Search Now:
If you’re a college senior or recent graduate, it’s a good time to be job searching. Do start your job search early. Don’t wait until the semester is almost over. Employers are in the process of hiring now, and you don’t want to miss out on good opportunities by waiting.

Targeted Job Search – Who’s Hiring in Technology Vol 5

“Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” – Steve Jobs

Back to basics with one of my more popular topics – targeted job search. Specifically, job search leads for specific industries. And the most popular of my popular posts is of course jobs in technology. So at first glance you might wonder why anyone would have to tell a technologist how or where to look for jobs on the Internet. But, you may be good at technology but that does not necessarily mean you know where to look for a job. And, like everything else in life, technology jobs come in all sizes and shapes. There are jobs at actual technology companies or tech jobs at non-tech companies. Today’s post focuses on the “not in the top ten tech companies” because sometimes size or popularity does not matter.

Some of the Companies you Know and Love:

Google -“Let’s work together” is the tag line for Google’s careers page. And, they have a pretty neat careers site (as you would expect). There are all of the stories about the difficult job interview process, but people do get hired. Top left hand side of the page has links to Joining Google and Life at Google (along with office locations). Center page is the job search function (key word, locations and categories). Browse by locations or visit their social media channels.

While job seekers are used to having most of their interviews in person, there may be times when these interviews are conducted by phone. Phone interviews should be given the same respect as face to face interviews; even though the interviewer can’t see you, he or she will know whether or not you have prepared for the interview. Make the most of phone interviews by following these tips:

Prepare as though it’s an in-person interview- If you receive a call for an interview at a time that is inconvenient, ask if you can schedule it for another time that works for both parties. In addition, consider wearing interview attire to help you take the interview more seriously and add some confidence.

Stand up and smile- Standing during your phone interview can give you a boost of energy, while smiling creates a positive and relaxed tone in your voice.

Listen closely- Focus specifically on what the interviewer is asking; it might help to take notes as a reference.

For other tips to use in phone interviews, see the source below.

Phone interviews should be taken just as seriously as in person interviews. Even though the interviewer(s) may not be able to see you, the right preparation can make a difference and leave a good impression of you as a top job candidate.

Don’t think you have a job, think again. Even though you may not have a steady income, do not discount the work that should go into a job search. For now, your job search is your job. Remember these tips:

Be more than prepared- Keep a fresh resume and cover letter on hand just in case you encounter job opportunities you want to apply for.

Use job search engines- Go online to learn about job opportunities. In addition, create job search agents to have these opportunities emailed to you.

References- Have multiple professional and personal contacts available who can put in a good word for you. Tell them in advance about your job search.

Network, network, network- Remember, many jobs are unadvertised. By interacting with your network, you could discover open positions before other job seekers.

For more job search tips, see the source below.

While you might not be collecting a paycheck at the moment, you still do have a job: finding a job. The work you put into your job search can lead to the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
