Are you in need of a job?\u00a0 Whether you are currently unemployed or if you would just like to find a new job, one that pays better or one that you actually enjoy doing each and everyday, you may be wondering how you can go about finding new opportunities. When it comes to finding job listings, which outline open positions, you will find that you have a number of different options.\u00a0 Some of those options are quite obvious, like using online career hunting<\/a> or job hunting websites <\/a>like Joblist Nigeria\u00a0or the employment section of a newspaper; however, there are other options that are fairly unique, but effective.<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard of Social Recruiting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well it is the process of sourcing or\u00a0recruiting\u00a0candidates with the use of social media platforms as promotional and\/or advertising channels byemployers\u00a0and\u00a0recruiters. recruiters now use social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter for recruitment. Social recruiting is divided into two categories. The first involves internet sourcing using social media profiles, blogs, and online communities to find and search for passive candidate data and information. The second is social distribution. This involves using social media platforms and networks as a means to distribute jobs either through HR vendors or through crowdsourcing where job seekers and other influencers share job openings within their online social networks.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not started using resources like LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter for Job hunting, I think you’re missing out, by the way Joblist Nigeria is available on these social media platforms:<\/p>\n

Another unique way that you can go about finding information on available jobs is by speaking to those that you know. Word of mouth is a great way to find jobs that you may be qualified for; jobs that you may want to apply for.\u00a0 What is amazing about this approach is those that you know, whether they are your friends, family members, or neighbors, may not even be looking for a job themselves.\u00a0 They may have just come across a now hiring sign or happen to see an advertisement in their newspaper\u2019s employment section.\u00a0 It may seem weird when you think about it, but those who aren\u2019t actually looking for jobs are usually the best sources of information when it comes to finding a job.<\/p>\n

Another way that you can go about finding a job is by working with a buddy or a partner.\u00a0 If you know of anyone, like a family member or friend, who is also in need of a job, you and that person may want to think about teaming up.\u00a0 For instance, you could search for job listings online and your partner could search for job listings in local newspapers.\u00a0 This approach is nice because it allows you to save time, when searching for job listings.\u00a0 Yes, you may end up receiving a little bit of competition from your job hunting buddy, but the amount of time that you are able to save will likely be well worth it in the end.\u00a0 Also, depending on where you live, you may be able to find hundreds of available job listings; therefore, the chances of both you and your job hunting buddy finding a job are actually quite high.<\/p>\n

Another unique way that you can go about finding jobs is by using the internet to your advantage, namely online message boards.\u00a0 Online message boards, as you likely already know, are online forums where internet users can interact with each other.\u00a0 Although many internet users use online message boards for recreational purposes, there are others who use them for business purposes, like with assistance with finding a job. In most cases, online message boards are great ways to learn about work-at-home opportunities or nationally operated companies that may have a local branch near you.\u00a0 It is not uncommon for a current company employee to mention that their company is hiring or just outline the fact that they enjoy working for the company in question.\u00a0 If you happen to come across these types of discussions, you may want to prod for more information or at least do your own investigation of the company in question.<\/p>\n

Another approach that you may want to take isn\u2019t necessarily considered unique, but it isn\u2019t as common as you would think.\u00a0 Many businesses, even those that are locally owned and operated, now have online websites.\u00a0 Many businesses have a webpage that is devoted to employment. That employment page may outline whether or not the company in question is currently hiring.\u00a0 If they are, information on what positions are available or how you can apply may also be touched on.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t already know the online websites of your local employers or ones that you would be interested in working for, you can easily find them, if they do exist, by performing a standard internet search.<\/p>\n

The above mentioned approaches are just a few of the many unique or less common ways that you can go about finding a job.\u00a0 With the above mentioned approaches, combined with online career hunting or job hunting websites, career counseling centers, career fairs, and your newspaper\u2019s employment sections, you are sure to find a handful of job listings; job listings that you may want to apply for.<\/p>\n
