The Best Ways to Find a Job

As the job market continues to deteriorate, professionals and non professionals need to be a lot more creative when it comes to finding employment. Now is not the best time to be looking for that “ideal” position with lots of paid vacation and 100 percent 401(k) matching.

If you’re unemployed might be considered trying techniques that have worked, These techniques do not include working with recruiters or employment agencies, or applying for jobs online.It is based on talk directly

Here is a strategy that I like the least, mainly because it involves hard work, is only successful about 2 percent of the time, and takes a tremendous amount of patience and discipline. But it is a technique that has consistently brought positive results:

Cold Call , yes it is 99% you will receive a reply as no , not at this moment or redirect whoever is in the company , but determination to look for the right person to communicate is the strategy .

Have very clear what you are able to do, doesnt mean only a CV , nowdays and research about the company you are contact to as much as you can , people are hired for what they are able to do not only for a background or recommendation, the needs of the companies may be different as what a formal employment could require, having many resources to develop in different fields may be at the start is not the one you can wish or prefer but it is a point of starting and it is vital in these times to prove that you are opened to work in many areas , multitasking as also with the disposition to be trained for be ready to the job , like it is said you enter by a window and go out from the main door .

What's the best way to get a job when you don't have all the experience or background a company is seeking?

For many job seekers, a simple job-description statement is the kiss of death: "Three years of relevant experience required."
If you want to change careers, you feel doomed by the frustration of not having the relevant experience. If you happen to be a student or recent graduate, it's a catch-22. How are you supposed to get experience when you don't have the experience to get a job?

When faced with this conundrum, there are three things to keep in mind as you go about the job search.

Focus on transferable skills.
Transferable skills are your secret weapon. They often get overlooked, but they can be your best ally.
When you are applying for a new job you must make yourself as "hirable" as possible to the recruiting director reviewing your resume. When you are listing your bullet points beneath each job title, really focus on what that recruiting director wants to see (without lying, of course).

Think outside the job.
Often, job seekers limit the experience section on their resume to paid jobs. That can be a big mistake, especially if you're looking to switch careers.
Volunteer work, boards and affiliations, and -- for college students -- leadership roles, can be tremendous opportunities to show off your relevant experience

Be realistic.
Switching careers or getting that first job is tough. You should approach the market with reasonable expectations. It's one thing to parlay your college job promoting campus activities into a great entry-level PR job.

In today's job market it's not about the quantity of positions you apply for, it's about who you know. That could essentially make the difference between being a sheet of paper in a stack of resumes or starting a new job working alongside someone you may know

Get involved. Take a look within your profession and join an association, join the local chapter. That's the best way to network

Researchers have found that in this tough economy people are more than happy to be a referral to help someone else land a job.
