Find a job in this economy

CNN Personal Finance Editor Gerri Willis explains how you can find a job during tough economic times.

We're gonna make friends fast in this competitive job market. It's who you know, not what you know. 80% of jobs are obtained through networking. So, your first step should be to reach out to professional organizations in your industry. To find those, check out yahoo's directory at dir.yahoo.com. Another good option, here, your college's alumni directory. Find that if there're classmates who were working at the companies that you are interested in. Don't forget the social networking sites. Here're the list of social networking sites that could help you make your entry way into your next job. Brightfuse, facebook.com and linkedin.com.

There are so many websites out there. So many ways you can search for both good and bad information on people that you might wanna hire, I mean, you can simply put in someone's name and google and get plenty of information available.

That's right. That's right. But you know, as a person looking for the job, you gotta make sure that your image on the web is accurate and it highlights your best to work. Check out ziggs.com. We can post free professional profile on site. If a recruiter is looking for a job candidate on line, your name may just pop up the top of a web search. You will be sent an e-mail or alternative. Someone clicks and views on your page. Sometimes, your professional profiles are already on line. And you may not even know it. Zoominfo.com scours the web. Press releases business websites for your professional info. If your profile is on this site, make sure all your information is correct and supplement and anything that's already there. Companies may use these sites to pick out high quality job prospects.

You know we've discussed that we don't have as many as the retailer giants hiring temporary work or part-time work during the holiday this year but still temporary work or freelance work is a real wise option.

And it's a great way to make contacts in your feel while it may not be the ideal work situation. It will allow you to get more experience. Expand your resume. Here are some web resources to help you, sosogig.com, guru.com, project4hire.com. If you are into volunteering, check out idealist.org or volunteermatch.org. They're great websites.

Of course, there are always the mistakes that can be made when you are doing the job search. What are some career consulters suggesting in terms of what you should do?

Well, consulters are saying that some internet job sites like monster, hotjob. They are unlikely to help much. Sure, they're well-known. But everyone isn't broader. They are looking at those postings and posting on line. Next deal, sentence in the resume. That's more than the page long. The shorter and cleaner your resume looks, the better. Finally, don't forget who you're sending your resume to. Keep a list of names and contacts. After a few weeks, it's harder to remember exactly what you've applied, if you send out dozens of applications. And if you have any questions about finding a job or how you're coping with job loss, email me at [email protected].

参考中文翻译：

在竞争日益激烈的就业市场，我们将会成为朋友。是你认识谁，而不是你知道什么事情。现在80％的工作是通过互联网获得的。所以，找工作的第一步是找到一个你所在行业的专业的组织。要想找到这样的组织，可以登录雅虎网址dir.yahoo.com。另外一个好的选择是你大学校友的指导，看一下是否有同学在你感兴趣的公司工作。同时也不要忘记一些社会服务性的网址。下面列出这种类型的网址以作参考，可以帮助你更快的找到下一份工作。这些网址是Brightfuse, facebook.com and linkedin.com.

实际上，现在有很多网站。可以有很多种途径来获得你想聘用的人的信息，好坏都有。我的意思是，你只需将某人的名字输入google搜索就可以找到足够的信息。

这是正确的，绝对是正确的。但是，你知道，如果你要找到一份工作，你必须确保你上传到网上的信息是准确的，这些信息必须能最好的帮助你找到想要的工作。可以上ziggs.com查看相关资料。我们可以在网上免费投递专业的简历。如果招聘单位在网上寻找应聘人员，你的名字会弹出在搜索结果的顶端，他们可能会给你发出电子邮件或者其他选择。有人会点击并浏览你的网页。有时，你的简历已经上传在网上了。有一些专业的商业性网站发布了你的信息。如果你的简历发布在这种类型的网站上，确保信息是正确的和全面的。公司可能会功过这种类型的网站来选择应聘者。

你知道，我们已经探讨过，今年假期零售巨头不会招聘以往那么多的临时工作或者兼职工作，但是临时工作和自由职业是明智的选择。

如果工作环境不理想，必须考虑一下自己的感受，这会让你获得更多经验，充实你的简历。一下一些网站资源可以帮到你，sosogig.com, guru.com, project4hire.com。如果你想做志愿者，可以登录idealist.org or volunteermatch.org.这些网站都是不错的。

当然，在找工作的过程中总会发生一些意外。关于你应该怎样做职业咨询师是怎样建议的呢？

咨询师说，有一些招聘网站，比如monster, hotjob，这些网站的帮助不大。当然，这是众所周知的。但是并不是每个人都那么知识渊博。他们会在网上寻找招聘职位。另外一点是，简历语言。简历最好不要超过一页。简历越简洁越好。最后，不要忘记你把简历投递给谁。记录下一些名字和联系方式名单。如果你发出了几十份简历，几周后，很难记得清楚你到底申请了哪些公司的职位。关于找工作如果你有什么问题，或者你怎样处理失业问题的，可以发送邮件到 [email protected].
