Use Google Alerts To Find A Job Faster

Picture
By utilizing Google Alerts you can now be notified about jobs as soon as they are posted instead of searching on hundreds of different websites all hours of the day.

The faster you know about an opportunity and start working towards contacting the operations or hiring manager through the utilization of your network, the better chance you have of getting an interview and getting the job. 

By utilizing the networking and direct contact methods we have discussed in previous postings in conjunction with Google Alerts you will be implementing yet another strategy to get a competitive advantage in your job search.

Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results based on your choice of specified search criteria.  This is the perfect resource to generate the up to the minute job leads you are looking for to organize and focus your networking and direct contact operations in an effort to secure the opportunity you have been looking for.

Let’s say for example I am looking for a position in the electrical engineering field.  I would go to http://www.google.com/alerts and enter a search criteria similar to this ("engineer" AND "electrical" AND "louisville" AND "job").  You will then be able too select what type of sites you would like to search, how often you would like an email update, and what email address you would like
it delivered too.

This resource will allow you to be notified of all posted jobs, you will be notified of them immediately, you won’t have to search hundreds of sites looking for them, and much more. 

Remember, the job you are looking for is out there.  The deciding factor in your success of obtaining the job is how you look for it.  The better and smarter you execute your job search the less time it will take and the happier you will be.
