CareerMysteries

Looking at the local newspaper advertisements for jobs is shockingly discouraging.  Even the Sunday papers are devoid of job listings to the point where what used to be a section is now about a two page spread.

 Some of that reduction is the change in the methods used by companies to advertise for jobs.  So many have gone the cheaper, easier route by posting jobs on the internet.  But some of the decline in classified ads for jobs is real.  Many jobs are disappearing.

This doesn’t mean that you should rely exclusively on internet listing for your job search.  The internet has become a major source of jobs much like the newspapers were twenty years ago, but working the internet is only part of the process.

Networking your contacts is also a major source of jobs.  This is where you can find out things that have not officially happened yet and if you can put yourself in the right place at the right time, you will be golden.

We will talk also about unique ways to find a job in future posts.

For now, happy hunting.
