Is An Online Job Search Enough?

Everyone would like to think they’ll find the ideal job from the comfort of their living room, or while they sip lattes at Starbucks and troll through listings on their laptop. However, research shows that finding work through job boards and other online postings is the least likely way to find success. For this reason at the very least, you should add networking, pavement pounding, and the telephone conversations into your approach.

But even the most gregarious sales person can grow weary of all the face time a job search requires. A new mantra develops with the onset of a shift towards introversion and comfort: “surf the web, not the streets”.

Fortunately, the experts at Indeed.com, today’s leading job board, have provided us with some advice on how to optimize your online job search. Many thanks to the job board in the sky!

Stay on the BrightSide.
