There are many important aspects to a job search—and networking is one of them. Knowing the right person who works within—or has strong connections to—a company can work wonders in helping you get your foot in the door.

While many seekers think that networking is a random act that involves telling people they need employment, connecting with the right professionals involves more effort. This is why it’s important to learn the steps of setting up a job seeking network.

Join Online Professional Networks

A great way to get connected to dozens—and sometimes even hundreds—of people is by joining online professional networks. Whether you find them via LinkedIn, Facebook, or any other online resource, they are typically easy to join and filled with people eager and ready to help others find great opportunities.

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:

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.
