Job Search Sites

Those are my go to sites, thank my lucky stars I haven't needed them in a while.

What also works is going after any old connections you might have. For my last search I swallowed my pride and started asking everyone I know. I ended up applying for a position for which I was over qualified, getting the job, and being promoted twice in the first 6 months to a solid management position. This is obvious, but I'll say it anyway: Jobs are so much easier to come by if someone can put in a good word for you.

I wish you the best of luck!

 

My serious advice is this. Determine the companies you wish to work for and go STRAIGHT to their website and look up their employment sections. Apply directly to their postings and use language used in their posting--computers will select you out if you do. Depending on the commercial job search sites is a fools game. All jobs I found were direct to the company.

 

o barry give us better jobbes

 

I know a lot about this. I have seen best luck using LinkedIn and CB. Don't rely on job boards though. Get a list of companies you like (maybe there is a best places to work 2015 for a city near you) and look at the open positions for each. Biggest thing is to email and call people. Don't just send applications.

Make sure your resume and linkedin profile are tip top shape.

Consider a marketing agency as there are a ton of and they are pretty fun bc your work changes all the time.. never doing the same thing.

when you get a job, I get commission for these wordes of wisdome

 

Also what part of marketing.. are you technical or more strategic/salesy? If oyu have a design/technical background consider getting a recruiter

all online work

go get em couch potato!

 

Okay, that is a good start. But I will tell you this-not all companies advertise on job search sites. You will find openings if you do a weekly return to the companies you wish to apply to. Also, when you see an opening, apply IMMEDIATELY. Because of the internet, the company may have a set number of applications from which they select; they disregard others and do not even view them. My strategy was to view all companies I would work for FIRST THING early Monday morning, select those that fit me, immediately apply. I was never without a job long. It works. Early bird gets the worm.
Good luck.

 

o barry

 

Just move to california.



If you have any questions socksandsandlez would be happy to help.

 

Hold out for the management position .....forever

 

This is a good thing. Check your PM

 

Even though you didn't ask:
don't use a dipshiiite email addy on your resume (ex: supercool@yahoo.com, partylife69er@yahoo.com, cojonesblaster@yahoo.com.....those are actual, from moron resumes)

Be on time, not early, on time for the int. If you're super early you put pressure on the staff (what do we do with this guy, he's been out there for, like, an hour??) - - it's inconsiderate to be super early.

If you're late, you better have grease & dirt on your hands from changing that tire. Or call at least 15 mins ahead with 'the accident' excuse. Even though you got out of bed late & you're a loser. Better yet> NEVER EVER be late for an interview.

Resume: no spelling errors, zip, nada, zero, nunca, ever.

Appropriate clothing for the int.

Don't say 'dude' or 'man' or 'buddy' to the interviewer.

Know what the company does, its mission, its history - - - this is so easy, it's called look at their website before the interview.

Leave your gawdamn cell phone in your car. Period.

Make sure your car is clean inside & out. Yep, I do look. When a guy is applying for a Tech position, I go outside & scope out the applicant's car to see how he maintains it. Because how his car looks is how my service vehicle will look. But worse. Because nobody takes care of other people's stuff as well as they take care of their own stuff.
The guy with the dozens of porn mags in the back seat? He didn't get the job.

I've interviewed hundreds of applicants for various positions over the years. The morons & idiots are legion.
I could go on. I won't. You're welcome. On all counts.

 

Nope.

 

A lot of the job search sites have the same postings.

I found it helpful to pinpoint a few companies that I would want to work for- and check thier website for posting.

A lot of employers will check out linked-in prior to interview -so clean it up nice, I just post my resume on there. Also do a google search on yourself and see what's out there- maybe bail off of social media for a while too.
