- Work with a staffing professional
- Use advanced filtering on job boards
- Be more selective in jobs you apply to
- Continuing to search during the interview process
If you're involved in a job search and are looking for the perfect position in information technology, you may find yourself getting frustrated with how long the process is taking. No one wants to be out of work, and a long job search process can cause damage to both your self-esteem and your finances.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to bring your job search to a fast end by getting hired quickly at an IT company that you will be excited to work for. Some of the key ways to super-charge your job search so you can get hired quickly include the following:
-
Work with a staffing professional:
A staffing service has connections with top companies that are currently hiring. In fact, many companies only work with staffing services to hire IT workers, so you may be missing out on job opportunities that aren't publicly posted if you aren't working with a recruiter. When you work with staffing professionals, you get your name out there and your foot in the door with more companies, so you are more likely to find a job quickly.
-
Take advantage of advanced filtering and search options on job boards:
The internet has made it easy to apply to jobs, but you want to only apply to positions that would be a great fit for you. There are advanced search features on online job boards that allow you to narrow down your search results. Make use of them so you can get targeted results featuring the jobs you are most likely to be interested in.
-
Being more selective in the jobs you apply to:
While it may be tempting to send your resume to every company that's hiring, this is a big waste of time if the organization isn't one you'd want to work for or the job isn't a good fit for your skills. Instead of wasting a ton of time sending out resumes to everyone in IT, put that time to better use doing things like learning a skill, networking or volunteering, or perfecting your resume and cover letter so they’re ready to send when you find a job you’re excited about.
-
Continuing to search for work even when you've advanced to the interview process:
If you are going through an interview process, don't stop your job search. Sometimes, the process of interviewing could take weeks or even months and you might not get hired at the end. You can avoid losing time if you continue your search for work.
