9 ways to find a new job

There was a time when people got a job as soon as they graduated and kept it until retirement. Those days are gone forever. Today, people must be flexible in finding new job opportunities, preferably before they are forced to do so. Here are some new strategies to keep your career moving forward and upward.
Network
It is called the hidden job market: many of the best jobs are never advertised. Candidates learn about these positions from friends, former colleagues and former bosses.
KEY POINTS
Networking, online and face-to-face communication is one of the best ways to keep up with the latest developments in your field, including which jobs are open and where.
Log in to the job search website frequently. For the best results, find one in your area of expertise.
Don't neglect the work of temporary or freelancers. They often bring opportunities for full-time work.
Network is another word for social. You can join professional associations, participate in school graduate activities, connect with professionals working in your field, and use every opportunity to meet other people in your field, whether face-to-face or online.
Various online websites, such as LinkedIn, allow you to expand your network to include friends of friends. The larger your network, the more likely you are to discover new opportunities.
Referral
Some employers provide incentives for employees to recommend a successful candidate to enter the company. This is a win-win situation for everyone. You get a new job, and your contact will get an intermediary fee for attracting a first-class employee.
This is relatively rare, but nothing prevents you from asking a valuable friend who works in your field to let you know about any vacancies. The working relationships you build in each job may open another door in the next few years.

Job boards and career websites
Recruitment notices used to be like this-a solid surface on the wall with job advertisements for everyone to see. Job fairs have moved to a virtual format, which is good news for all of us, because their influence is much greater.
Many state governments provide employment commissions and employment banks, accessible to everyone. You can also use a job search engine or a large number of career-related websites that post job vacancies, such as Monster.com, Google's Jobs, CareerBuilder, and even. Many other databases specifically target freelancers and contract workers, including hourly headcount, overtime, simple hiring, and crowding.
There are also dedicated job search websites for specific fields, such as Dice for technical professionals and ArtsThread for artists.
The functions of these websites are similar to traditional job advertisements, but their coverage is wider and the turnaround time is faster.
Job Fair
Job fairs usually target specific industries, although some job fairs are more general. The promotional materials will include a list of organizations that will be represented.
Investigate any company you are interested in, bring a batch of resumes and business cards, and prepare to sell yourself. Think of any conversation with a recruiter as a mini-interview, which can differentiate you from other candidates. Some organizations even offer on-site interviews for candidates who meet their requirements.
Company website
If you already have an ideal employer in mind, you can directly visit the "Careers" section of the company's website. If you track vacancies on its website, you have a chance to find the opportunities you have been waiting for.
Create a list of employers you want to work for and visit their websites frequently. If you really intend to work for a particular company, it may take some time to find opportunities that suit your skills. But if you have time, this may be the best way to find your ideal job.

Cold call
If you don’t see any recruitment information from a company you are particularly interested in, you can consider making a call. After finding the contact details on the company website, call or email someone in the organization. Ask about upcoming vacancies and attach a resume.
Keep in mind that this contact may not always be popular. You are lucky to get any response. But there is always a chance that it will give you an internal track on the upcoming vacancies.
Headhunters and recruiters
If you need professional help when looking for a job, headhunting agencies can also help.
Many organizations use recruitment agencies to simplify the recruitment process. Headhunting companies actively recruit individuals to fill specific vacancies.
Payment is based on commission. Make sure you know in advance whether you or the company is paying.
Remember that many high schools and universities have job placement services that can help recent graduates develop resumes and help current students and alumni find jobs.
Temporary workers or internships
Temporary employment and short-term contracts often lead to long-term positions. This is a great way to get a foot in the door or at least provide useful business contacts that appeal to you in the future.
Many recruitment agencies can assist in finding temporary or temporary positions and contract jobs.
For students who have just graduated from university, an internship is a good choice. Many schools’ job placement services connect students with opportunities.
If you are just starting out and you can afford it, volunteering can be a great way to gain valuable industry connections.
Creative or quirky strategies
In the highly competitive job market, some job seekers have tried their best. Billboards, chain letters with copies of your resumes, and even sticking your resumes on your body, walking around the city like human billboards, are just some of the methods job seekers use to attract attention.
These methods may indeed be effective, but be cautious. Make sure your creative strategy suits the industry you want to enter.
