Niche Jobsites...

Niche jobsites focus on a specific industry within a job market. Niche job sites can be very helpful for job seekers and employers.

Job Seekers will find job listings that may not be easy to find, and the job postings are targeted to a specific group of job seekers. With that the jobs tend to be more relevant to what that job seeker is looking for.

For the employer it allows them targeted to the group of job seekers they are interested in. This saves time when shuffling through resumes.

As a job seeker it makes sense to spend some of your job hunting time searching niche jobsites and as an employer you can save time and money with niche jobsites.

Good luck on your search!

Why do I need a good Resume?

How important is a resume??
Well I'm sure we would agree that most job seekers realize the importance of a resume. The question is how many of us really put in the effort of making it the best it can be? I know that when I was fresh out of college my resume was a mess. I was a great interviewer so if given the opportunity I would get the job, but I was rarely called in for a good opportunity. For me it was hard to realize that these employers didn't know anything about me and I need to express myself on paper. The thing was that I was very confident and a bit stubborn so I figured if they wanted me they would find me. Well soon enough figured out that with a good resume I was getting more interviews, and much better opportunities. If you are short on time or need help I highly recommend using a professional resume service. If you are a high level IT professional visit Don at http://www.gotthejob.com/. Otherwise you can go to Google.com, or Indeed.com and do a search for "resume".Good luck with your resume and your job search...Jeff

Interesting Argument!

Interesting Argument! Harvard vs State School
Hello Everybody!This week over a excellent dinner with some family members, we somehow got into a discussion about the value of having a big school name on your resume. One side was saying it is about the person and the other was saying that the person with the better degree would have the upper hand. After my own analyzing I think that both sides are right. On one side I would say that it is all about the interview. The relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee. On the other side it makes sense that the person with the lesser degree may not even get a chance to interview. These days there are so many applicants for each job that if you do not have that quality degree you may never even be looked at. With that being said I think that may people would agree that having a good degree does not mean a having good candidate. My final conclusion is that if you can get yourself a great degree go for it "No harm done". If not, you may not get that interview right away but don't give up...they will have to give you a shot sooner or later. Also experience goes a long way...find what you like and be the best at it...you will be a leader in your industry before you know it.Good luck with getting the job...Jeff
