June 9, 2011 (Powerhomebiz.com) No matter how great my grades were when I was in college, I was surprised at how difficult it was to find a job, especially if you are looking for an IT job in a big company. This is because most of these companies are on the lookout for someone who already has enough experience. If you’re in this kind of situation, you could try a number of IT job hunting techniques which are outside the box to get that dream job.
An avenue for job hunting that many people rarely consider is the various social networking sites such as LinkdIn.com. Social networking like LinkdIn.com helps supervisors, who may be searching for someone to join their team, contact professionals especially those who are searching for a lucrative IT job. You can also use LinkedIn to get a copy of your resume online.
Twitter is another place to find that great IT job you want. You can find the twitter page of the company that you would like to work for. If this is not possible, try to find the twitter page of any of the executives of the company that you would like to work for. Follow them and then eventually introduce yourself. State your intentions of being hired by the company. You can do the same for other micro-blogging sites like Plurk.
Contact the alumni association of your school and have them get linked to other IT companies that you could work for you. You can also try to join and actively participate in various professional organizations within your area. This could help expand you’re your network.
Craigslist may not seem like a good way to get a job but there are actually a number of companies that use it to save on costs associated with job advertisements on other sites. Apart from this, you can use craigslist to inform potential employers who are advertising IT job vacancies.
And of course, we can’t forget Jobstreet and JobsDB for IT job hunters. These sites allow you to upload your resume and scan through job posts by different companies not just in the Philippines but also all over Asia.
Finally, make sure you contact a reliable recruitment agency. Sysgen Philippines offers a lot of IT jobs for professionals. The site is easy to navigate and our experienced recruitment personnel will help you land your dream IT job.
