You can look for job openings that match your qualifications and experience on search engines online, but keep in mind that many companies promote job openings on social networking sites, like Facebook or LinkedIn, before they are published elsewhere. There might even be special Facebook Groups in your city for specific fields of work – ask to be a member to stay on top of things. You can even search for jobs in local newspapers or, if you’re interested in a retail job, walk around your city or your nearby mall and keep a lookout for “Hiring” signs on shop windows.

Then, there is the option of subscribing to email alerts of job search websites or specific companies, choosing keywords that should appear in the job ads, and receive in your email job postings as soon as they are posted. This way you’ll have the chance to be among the first applicants.

The golden rule though is that, whenever possible, you should make personal contact. You could for example call or visit the company you are interested in, use social and professional networking to reach to people that may work in the company you are planning to apply to, or even find the responsible recruiter or manager for the position on LinkedIn and send them a personal message.

2. When you need a job asap, you need to look for it efficiently.

Applying for a job can take a lot of time. Do yourself a favor and follow some useful tips that will save you valuable time:

  • apply to jobs that are a good match for your skills.
  • make sure you include keywords from the job ad in your CV and Cover Letter
  • have a ready-made general Cover Letter at hand, but always tailor it for the specific job you are applying for.
  • try to find an online or in-person connection to the job you apply for in your network that can help you with attracting some attention to your application.
  • do a Google search for what jobs are in demand in the specific area you live. Understandably there will be more job opportunities in those fields. For example, construction workers, truck drivers, home health aide, and nurse practitioners were in high demand in the US for 2018.
