Tip #7: Find The Job

Here is a quick run over on how I found my job:
-Craigslist: This is the best resource to get your resume out to multiple areas. All craigslist requires is one resume that can be across multiple cities. There are also so many different companies now using Craigslist to reach a potential worker. Responding to these ads had the highest reply rate for me. I believe this is because it takes a more personal approach to reply to Craigslist ads. Make sure to always respond to the information in the ad in your initial email.
-Indeed: www.indeed.com is the singles greatest search engine and resource for finding a job. Indeed will constantly search all of the other job sites and email you updates how ever frequently you want. I used this site to constantly keep update on new job postings.

When replying to a job post:
-Make sure to tailor your resume to the job listing.
-Make the initial email short and to the point. Make sure to respond to the job list.
-Do not use a generic response or email.
