Project: Green Living

Only a matter of years ago, looking in the classified section of newspapers was the only way to find jobs vacancies. The internet now enables us to look for jobs not only in our local area but also the whole of the wilder world.

Now people can reach people much further away than they ever used to be able to and apply for jobs in locations that would not have been possible twenty years ago.

There are so many sites that list regional, national and international jobs vacancies in an easy to use way. All the person has to do is open an account, fill up the necessary fields then submit your resume.

Never give your financial details to these sites but you will probably be asked for your name, location and vocational details.

When employers are looking for new staff they sometimes use these sites and so your education history might be requested. Employment history is also another thing that has to be mentioned which includes the job description and highlights that one has experienced during that person’s career. You can pick categories for the types of jobs you would prefer to hear more about and be considered for positions within, as well as if you are open to relocation and the type of salary you are looking for.

Your preferences will then be matched to advertised jobs by the site. You might get these sent to your email or listed on your profile page and it should be free for this service.

Some sites offer a service with a fee that will place the resume over other applicants giving that person more priority but even that is a not a guarantee that one will get the job.

You do not have to be a high flyer to use the internet for job hunting. Every type of job available will be listed somewhere on the internet.

There are more resources on the internet than direct job websites however. You can look at the careers section on the websites of businesses who you would like to work for as well. If you find a job that you want and have the experience for, send your CV to the HR department and they will get back to you.
