You may use a number of job sites for your searches.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
How do you keep up with all the sites and all the searches?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
One method that has worked for me over the years has been to email myself copies of jobs from the various sites.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
I then sort them into folders such as “HR”, “Education”, “Web Projects”, “Summer”, etc to sort them into area of interest, lengths of employments, etc.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
What I find happens with this organization is that I am able to refer to these folders weekly to find possible new leads on business, possible job opportunities for the future, or links I can share with my students as they come to me looking for jobs.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
This passive search method always seems to lead to the best opportunities for me.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Even though I am happily employed and have a number of wonderful clients, I nonetheless still keep these folders and monitor them weekly to see if something may inspire me to reach out for a new lead or new opportunity.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
