So you are looking for a job. Moving to the Bay area? Do you already live there? Well the classified ads are the place for you to look for work. Personally I would look at all of the different online employment websites. You will find a wider range of offerings and you can also post your resume for employers who are looking for an employee.
The problem is that employers weed through so many applications and resumes. You need to make yours stand out from the rest. Tell them what you have to offer their company, and how your skills will help them. Make yourself invaluable to them. Give good employment references.
When looking for a job, apply to only those you know you are qualified for. Look in neighboring cities for employment if it is feasible for you. Look into taking some online classes to earn a degree that will make you more employable. Your job might pay for this, so ask up front if there is a possibility to advance your career with them.
Do not waste your time or an employer’s time by applying to jobs you are not qualified for, the rejection is not good for anyone. If you are not good at interviews look into some free job training. Temp places are a good place to start because they can often lead to permanent employment for you down the road.
As an employer, be specific about your needs, requirements and experience wanted. Give a job description of what is expected. Ask for a resume as well as an application. Post a wage range and benefits that your company offers. This will bring you more qualified employs to apply for your job opening, as they will apply to one that they know what the pay starts at, before one with no pay range or benefits stated. Bay area jobs should be easy to fill with good people.
Human Resources is another field that has a good demand for employment potential, and it is a good career path. This is needed by almost all businesses and companies. You have room to advance in this position as well. On one website there were about 4,300 jobs posted for the Bay Area. The jobs are there, you just have to find a match.
As a person looking for work, you have to make sure that all of your degrees and certificates are listed in your resume and your experience in years at a certain career. Set yourself a part from other job seekers by pointing out what you can do for their company. What can you offer them that nobody else can, or what are your strong points that will be good for their job opening. Sell yourself.
The Bay Area alone on one website has over 4,300 jobs posted in many different areas. That means the jobs are there is you are looking. There should be one in the category you are looking for. Be upfront about your experience and what you can bring to the company, and negotiate if the wage is not quite what you are looking for. There may be raises offered after a trial period.
