Hey Brother, Can You Spare a Job?
Job boards, recruiters, company websites, friends, family . . . who’s hiring? Well, if you do your homework and are persistent, there are plenty of companies hiring. You should be using all of your resources (basically, everything listed in my first sentence) and balancing your search every day. Today’s post is about leveraging your resources across as many types of resources as possible.
- Tinytechjobs.com – This job search board is focused on jobs in technology, not just any technology, tiny technology. So what is tiny technology? “Jobs using tiny technology, including careers in MEMS, nanotechnology, microtechnology, biotechnology, and information technology”. The top center of the main page lists current job openings. The left hand side of the page allows registration, search jobs, view all jobs plus more. There are tabs at the top of the page which provide additional links (like internships, blogs and resources). Clicking on “View all jobs” returned 63 job opportunities.
- Recruitingintelligence.com – The beginning sentence for this job search board is “Our mission is to provide our corporate clients with access to alumni of the most prestigious colleges and universities”. So that would leave me out, but maybe not you. In any event, it won’t stop you from searching their jobs. The main page is very simple, your only choice is to click on “current job listings”. This link takes you their “real” main page where it lists some of their job openings and has traditional tabs at the top (Browse jobs, post resume, etc.).
- DHR International - DHR is global executive recruiter. Top of the page has links to practices, consultants, solutions and more. This firm covers a broad range of job functions and industries, from technology to venture capital. Clicking on any of the job functions takes you to a page which summarizes that practice and a list of consultants whom you can contact. You can also click on the “Contact us” and select “Prospective Candidates”. You then have several choices/options for submitting your resume.
- Barnes & Noble – The bookseller’s career site gives a little background on the company. You can look for jobs in their stores or in their corporate offices. Towards the bottom of the page you can click on one of these two. Clicking on Stores returned 165 job opportunities.
- WSJ – Who’s Hiring – Let’s not forget the Wall Street Journal’s Who’s Hiring site. There are 12 companies highlighted who are currently hiring (not sure how often they update their site). Clicking on any company logo will return a brief summary of the company. Clicking on “search for jobs with this employer” takes you to the WSJ’s career search site and returns jobs for the company selected.
Good luck in your search.
[...] How to get a job – The theme of this story is very similar to what I’ve been saying for months (8 months to be exact). Yes, the current unemployment rate is 8.6% and yes, last week another 600,000+ people joined the unemployed, but there are tens of thousands of jobs out there. The second half of the tag line of the article is “Millions of people were hired last month!”. The article is worth a read for several reasons, not the least of which there are plenty of good tips (and they use a headline that is very similar to one I used in an earlier blog “Hey Brother, Can Your Spare a Job?“.
