The Six Best Ways To Find Your Next Job

Whether you recently lost your job or are ready to jump ship from your current one, the chances of your getting a new position through the want ads is next to nil. The good news is that there are many other avenues to pursue. Start by updating your resume and your LinkedIn profile. Here are the best ways to harness it in your job hunt.
  1. Within your existing network there are probably three jobs that would be appropriate for you, but the people who could help open doors to those jobs just haven't thought of you. Set a goal to touch base with three people you have not talked to for a year or more. Identify the 25 most influential people in your network and brainstorm ways to strengthen your relationships with each.
  2. Connect with alumni. We generally like people who have something in common with us; who share the same values or hobbies; or have gone to the same school. Call the alumni in your region, go to meetings and grow your network. If these are in your industry, adding three new alumni per week (through alumni directories or LinkedIn) is a solid approach-- even better.
  3. Attend events. These include ones hosted by charities and professional organizations. Talk to at least one person at every meeting who you haven't met yet. Identify at least one person who you would like to meet and make arrangements to connect there in person if you can get the list of attendees beforehand. Without imposing, look for an excuse to follow up-- by meeting again, or getting a referral to someone else. (See also, "How To Work A Room Like You Own The Place.").
  4. Use LinkedIn to maximum effect. LinkedInis a powerful tool to easily connect with the right people. Search your target market based on your industry, qualifications, university and interests, and connect with the people who interest you. For example, if you work in the insurance sector, you could aim to connect with all potential bosses and human resource departments in this industry and in your market. You can even set goals for yourself, such as, "Connect to all general managers and human resource managers in the insurance industry in my city by the end of April." (See also, "What To Say On LinkedIn When You've Been Laid Off.").
  5. Check job boards. Define the top job boards for your skill set and put your resume there. Many show when your resume was last updated. We know about jobs that will never be advertised and we have experience finding openings. If you work with a headhunter, choose carefully. (See "How To Use A Headhunter.").
