For a fresher or someone looking for ‘the next step’ in one’s career, the search for perfect jobs can be both time and effort consuming. Most importantly, one must know where and how to search for them. To embark on the hunt for that perfect job one must keep several things in mind.
The first thing to know is exactly what you are looking for. It is seen in most cases that people randomly apply for jobs and interviews only to find out later that either the job is not meant for them or that they are over or under qualified for that position. So look before you leap. Always keep in mind you areas of interest, personal time and your preferred environment for work before you around applying. If this is not done then you will find yourself resigning, or worse, getting fired, after the first couple of weeks.
The best places where you can find a wide selection of jobs with adequate description are as follows:
Job websites – The place of choice for freshers and professionals alike. Job websites or search engines maintain an updated listing of available vacancies in large variety of sectors. It is both the cheapest and least time consuming job search effort for any individual. The main advantage of this kind of a search is that you will find local, regional and international vacancies as well and most sites give you the option of applying online, so it is a lot easier.
Newspapers – The next best thing is the daily newspaper delivered at your doorstep. Searching for jobs in newspapers is the oldest method. Newspapers mainly contain job vacancies pertaining to the people of a specific targeted region, as the listings are always at or near the place of print.
Placement offices – Placement offices and job employment offices should be the place of choice for freshers. These offices mainly aim at providing employment to young people, below 18 years. They are always filled with vacancies, but people above 21 years cannot, or can rarely, apply.
Magazines – Just like newspapers, magazines also contain updated listings of jobs according to sectors .People can peruse them to find the job of their choice.
Company Offices – The reputed companies have a vacancy board, generally at the reception, where vacancies are posted. Job seekers can keep in touch with these updates to see if they fit in on any position available in that company.
