Eric Caron has some really solid tips on job seeking in his Ignite presentation:
LinkUp is the site he mentions being affiliated with. I wasn’t previously familiar with the site, but really like what I see there. It’s a search engine that pulls together job postings from company websites. That may be a great way to find jobs that are competitive enough to not warrant posting to paid job sites since they’ll find enough qualified candidates without pushing them to Monster or other mega-sites.
I put the slides of the show up at http://www.slideshare.net/ecaron/job-search-ignite-3439308, if anyone finds them useful.
Thanks so much for calling my tips solid! I was really pleased with the crowd & the feedback, especially the fact the nothing was thrown during the Favre slide…
