How to Use Technology to Find Your Next Job

In today’s technology-based world, it’s easier than ever to find job openings. Anyone with a mobile device and internet access can search for positions at any time. Here are four ways you can use technology to find your next job.

Social Media

You can update your profiles, view and save job postings, research companies and executives and apply for positions. LinkedIn lets you demonstrate your skills and experience, show your expertise and connect with hiring managers and recruiters. Facebook and Twitter let you follow companies you want to work for, view job postings and apply for positions.

Mobile Job Applications

You can search for roles by keyword or location, email or save job postings, apply with your resume and keep track of your contacts. You can also have notifications of new postings texted, emailed or sent to your social media accounts. Some apps even let you apply for jobs on your smartphone. For example, the CareerBuilder app lets you view jobs you can apply for using your phone and apply with your resume saved in the CareerBuilder database.

Online Job Boards

Because you have 72 hours to apply for a role before your odds of being called in for an interview significantly decrease, being able to find openings anytime is beneficial. Glassdoor adds new jobs daily and lets you search by job title, key responsibilities, company or location. You can also read employee reviews on company culture, executive leadership, salary information and other pertinent details to determine whether you’re a good fit for the organization. Indeed gathers information from job boards, news sites and company listings so you have more information in one location.

People Search

Because the majority of openings aren’t posted online, you’re better off searching for connections at the top five companies you want to work for. Your connections can refer you to their hiring managers to increase your odds of being called in for an interview. The higher up in the company your connection is, the greater your results may be. You can use LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, search engines and other methods for determining where your connections are employed and getting in touch with them.
