Online Job Bank Search HOW-TO
Finding
Those Elusive Jobs on the Net Using a Job Bank Search

A job bank search is key to finding work. Of course you already know that. Are
you frustrated though?
Finding work at home jobs or employment does not have to be a nightmare. You
just need to know the secrets on how to find them! I have become somewhat of an
expert in this field, due to the hours I spend every night looking for these
jobs. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist or an Internet expert to locate
these elusive work at home job when you do a job bank search.
First of all you need to get familiar with free job banks. Free job banks are
web sites that list thousands of jobs by employers across the nation and even
the world. I recommend starting a “favorites” file or a new “bookmark” file
called Job Banks, this way you can easily save these URL’s for easy access. My
favorite free job banks are:
www.monster.com
www.net-temps.com
www.Job.com
www.SnagAJob.com
You can also try these for specific jobs...
www.exploretalent.com
www.jobsinsports.com
(May charge a fee now to access their database.)
These are all great to start with but I recommend getting as many job banks
lined up as possible. You can find these sites by simply typing in “employment”
or “jobs” at any major search engine. Once you compile a nice list of sites you
need to know how to search them. All of them have certain search criteria so
read up and learn what each one is. The keyword is the best way to find home
employment. I find typing in “work at home” (in quotes) works well “telecommute”
“home based” “virtual office” or just “home” all came up with results.
Another hot spot for finding a job is your online newspaper! I find dozens of
jobs in newspapers across the country. Almost all the major newspapers are on
the Internet. Locate your local paper and search for a work at home job online.
Be sure o use all of the keywords listed above! My favorite web site to search
over 90 national newspapers is:
http://www.jobfactory.com
There are many online web sites that feature telecommuting jobs as well. These
jobs are updates daily or weekly and offer a variety of positions. All are free
to view and apply for.

Another great way to find a job is to visit companies that offer the same
services that you would like to do. As an example: If you do data entry, you
would look for companies that offer data entry services. Visit these web sites
and nine out of ten times there will be a “opportunities” or “employment”
section looking for data entry clerks. If  you are interested in word processing
or administrative then look for companies that offer these services. Even if
they don’t, e-mail them a resume, you never know when they will be looking!
But the #1 WAY TO GET HIRED IS TO GET YOUR RESUME OUT THERE! Post your resume to
as many job banks in your local area and on the Internet as possible! Don’t be
shy. A word of caution, make your resume is “private” -- I recommend your name
and e-mail address only. Also be sure your resume is professional, the best it
can be. Remember you are competing against many others the employee may be
considering. The best resume will win, even though you may have more years of
experience or are better qualified. This is the only thing the employer has to
judge you by. If your resume screams ”sloppy” or “unclear”, you will be passed
up. Would you ever show up to a job interview in ripped sweats and a T-shirt? If
your resume is unprofessional this is the appearance you are creating. Cover
letters are just as vital as the resume, sometimes even more important. This is
your introduction, your “Here I am and I know you are gonna want to hire me”
statement. So, take a look at your resume, does it let your future employer know
what job you want, highlights your best skills for the job, advertises your past
work experience and education?
