• If you are actively looking for a job, complete and update your profile periodically
• Set up job agents to save time on future searches (matching job list could be emailed daily or weekly)
Using Technology
![Page 15: Presented by John Barry, President ITech Consulting Partners Jobs in IT Trends in the Employment Market Finding a Job.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bfc79550346a84f8b49d3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
More and more recruiters are using social media to post jobs and search for candidates
• Facebook• When you set up your profile, be sure to review privacy
settings• Join groups and fan pages (“like”) that are relevant to job
searching• Be careful of what you share – current and potential
employers may view your profile
Using Technology

Using Technology
![Page 17: Presented by John Barry, President ITech Consulting Partners Jobs in IT Trends in the Employment Market Finding a Job.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bfc79550346a84f8b49d3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Using Technology
Be creative in using search terms
• Use Boolean terms to narrow or expand searches• “Quotes”- link an exact phrase together e.g. “Oracle DBA” • AND - Links 2 or more terms together e.g. Oracle and DBA• OR- include either of the terms, e.g. programmer or
developer or software engineer• Wildcard *- Use * when searching for words with the same
root, e.g.: program* will return documents with program, programming, programmer, programmed

Networking
• Networking is a continuous process. It pays to build and expand professional relationships whether you are employed or not.
• Referrals go both ways: if you get a job lead that is not a match, forward to your colleagues so they can do the same for you.
• Let people know if you are in transition or when you land a new position.

Networking
Face-to-Face Networking
• Every social situation is a potential networking opportunity: church, sports, volunteering, community, etc.
• Practice your ‘elevator speech’• Attend local meetings, e.g., NFP, Danbury Network Group, WNO• Join Professional organizations: SHRM, SIM, TENG, DACS• Search online list of networking groups: meetups.com,
landingexpert.com
