If your facing the need to look for work your definitely going to need to have some Job Search Strategies, here’s - 6 Advanced Methods That Work With Ease.

Many people when asked if they need help searching for a new Job say No thanks, I can find a Job on my own. But when you probe just a little deeper they actually do not have a strategy and didn’t even know there were strategies to use.

So instead of Job Searching by the seat of you pants with limited or even pitiful results you may be better off using one of these Strategies below.

1. Online Posting - post to Online Job Directories and apply to specifically targeted companies at their websites.

2. Hire a Virtual Assistant - have them seek out Job Leads even while you sleep and have them email them to you in the morning.

3. Informational Interviews - go out and ask for meetings with companies that you would like to work for and get some inside info.

4. Create a Blog - add video and audio with short comments about your past projects and experience. You will be able to introduce yourself with ease.

5. Network with Friends - have your friends help you get the inside scoop on any openings they may have at the companies they work at.

6. Buy for a Job - you can contact companies that you pay to get jobs and job leads. It’s a great way to get inside access to really great companies.

Now the best way to maximize your effectiveness would be to use a couple of these strategies in combination. For example; you could use Informational Interviews and Online Posting and get a highly effective result.

Good Luck and let me know if I can help.

This is some really great advice. I work as a recruiter in Boston for Hollister (www.hollisterstaff.com) and think all of your points are right on. I especially like number 3 - informational interviews. These types of interviews can not only be extremely helpful in one’s job search, but show a potential employer how dedicated and motivated you are as an individual. Thanks for passing these tips along!

Number 2, “Hire a Virtual Assistant” is a good idea. If you can afford it the few extra dollars, it’s well worth the small investment. A virtual assistant can get twice as much, if not three time as much lead hunting done as you can on your own. And fortunately they don’t cost as much as you may think. Rates may start at somewhere around $15 an hour.
