I saw a job search advice tips article an one of the things it warned about was that you can’t really effectively search for work online all the time. IT seems however, that all of the job listings are online. How do I go about finding ones available without being stuck behind my computer?

The old fashion ways, asking everyone you know to let you know if they hear of openings. Going door to door applying even if they don’t have a help wanted sign. Using temp agencies where the job may turn to permanent. Starting your own business to make your own job.

Newspapers, personal contacts, employment agencies, state job search department – people did look for jobs, you know, before the internet even existed. And far from all open jobs show up on the internet.

Networking! Think of what you want to do first. You should have some target companies, an idea of what kind of work you want to do first. Without this people can’t help you. Then begin to contact people you know or have had contact with and ask if they recommend someone to talk to regarding what you want to do or if they know of anybody at the company’s on your target list. Then make calls. You’d be surprised if you haven’t done this how helpful people can be, especially in this economy as most people have been laid off at one or more times. I work as a volunteer at a Career Ministry through our church in the Chicago area. Log onto and you will find this free website full of great information.

That’s not true at all. How do you think people found jobs before the internet was brought to the public?

News papers and local city gazette papers are still huge with helping find jobs.
The internet isn’t all that great.

Also job fairs are great.
