First Things First

Just like one of the first things someone would do if they're opening up a business would be to get a listing in the phone book, getting your resume posted on the pertinent Internet job boards is a good first step in letting employers know you're available. Your resume is your calling card and job boards are the directories recruiters and employers refer to when looking for talented individuals. In addition to Monster.com, Job.com, CareerBuilder and DirectEmployers, there are over 80 other popular job boards that recruiters use extensively to search for available job candidates. If you'd like to save time and get your resume posted on all the important job boards at once, we'd recommend using ResumeDirector. To find out more about it, visit their web site:

Another great way to start networking is to network with recruiters. These are people who know folks who can help you get a job. Using a service like ResumeArrow will help you get your resume distributed to thousands of recruiters in your industry and geographic location. To find out more, visit this web address:

Network to Get Work

Networking is a powerful way to land a new job. In addition to the fact that many positions are not widely advertised, finding a job through networking often means there's less competition. So you could have a greater chance of getting the job than if the employer is considering you among 5-10 other people they found through a job site. A good place to start networking is the local chapter of the professional association for your field. Often called the "association of associations," the American Society of Association Executives' web site provides a search screen to find associations in specific industries and professions. You can check it out by going to www.asaenet.org and clicking "Directories" on the left side of the screen. Also, local business magazines (such as Crain's local business publications) often include information on networking events.
Want to learn more about networking? Harvey Mackay is one of the leading experts on building personal relationships through networking and has written a great book on the subject called "Dig your well before you're thirsty: the only networking book you'll ever need."
