Where to look for a job

A friend has asked me as to where or how to find a job. I said, "Jobstreet", then his face went blank. I had to ask if he knew what I said, still no answer. I realized he doesn't really know what it is. So I asked again, "How many hours do you spend on facebook?". He said five. I was shocked to know that he spends that much time online but does not know how to search for job sites.

Like what I told him, here are ways of finding a job.

(1) Newspaper (The newspaper has classified ads and I was not sure if he knew there's that section of the newspaper. I was right, he never looks at the classified ads. So one of the best places of finding a job is by a newspaper.)

(2) Online (There are a lot of job sites like jobstreet, mynimo, jobsdb, etc. and these have been classified by industry or field of expertise. I once met a person who knows how to use twitter, instagram, and facebook, but does not know how to google. How lame is that! I had to tell him how to google. All you have to do is type whatever it is that you need to search and voila! For job seekers, go search for "job vacancy", "jobs", "job sites". There are companies with websites, and in these sites there is a portion which shows their vacancies as of the moment. You may upload your CV's.)

(3) Friends (Ask your friends. They may know a vacancy or a company that's hiring. Ask for help if you are not sure. A few people ask for help in entering a company. Well, sometimes, I think it's too much. I personally do not like that practice, and if I do, I make sure that the individual I'll be endorsing is an individual with a great work attitude. So please, don't force your friends to hire you. Just ask for vacancies and send in your resume. Wait for a call.)

(4) Establishment Postings (There are companies that have wanted ads just outside their buildings or near the vicinity. Walk-in applications are suitable to get a quick reply. Companies would be quicker in responding to your application. While your hanging out with friends, check postings on walls. You might find a  job ad. But be very careful, there are ads that may be hoax.)

(5) School (If you are still studying, then this may apply. There are a few schools who help with the placement of their graduates. This will be very helpful for new grads. But if you aren't a graduating student, then there are schools that has bulletin boards for job vacancies from partner establishments.)

These five are certainly the easiest ways to find a job. To be able to land it, prepare yourself. Read http://myunemployedlife.blogspot.com/2014/07/unemployed-you-say.html
