Be proactive and market yourself to get the job you want.
With the current economic climate resulting in many corporate collapses and job losses over the past eight months, it's necessary for job seekers to be as proactive as possible and use all the means available to them to get in front of perspective employers and get back into the workplace.
That's why we launched our new RESUME feature in The SOC Exchange CAREERS section - where job seekers can post their resume free of charge! You don’t need to post your actual resume, but can summarize it on your own 'SOC Site', including just as much information as you are comfortable disclosing.
For job seekers or freelancers who wish to make use of our advanced resume features there's our usual low cost fee of $10 per year. The advanced features allow you to receive emails from prospective employers without posting your email address and the ability to post your own blog, amongst other very useful IT features on your 'SOC Site.'
Job seekers can also take advantage of our useful RSS feeds. You simply find employers and recruitment agencies you are interested in and click on the RSS feed icon to stay updated with all the latest vacancies as they are posted to the site. This helps you to hear about jobs first, before everyone else, and stay ahead of the game.
Although it's important to promote yourself online and stay on top of current job opportunities, it is also vital that you continue to get out and network. Keep in touch with friends, former colleagues and business acquaintances, and let them know that you are looking for a new job and what your skills are. A referral from someone who knows you is one of the best ways to land yourself a new job. So, use our online services, but make sure you go offline and network in the real world too!
