The best source to look for jobs related to information technology (commonly known as IT) is, obviously, the Internet.
Various sites provide lists of job openings for specific sectors. The key to a fruitful search is knowing how and where to look for the best possible jobs available.
To gain access to a listing of a certain site, a person must first fulfill the following:
1. Register on the selected site
2. After confirmation of registration (via an email from the site’s moderator), the person may now have access to the list
3. In search of a preferred or suitable job vacancy, you may be asked to fill out a form (online) which states the profile of an individual.
It is generally used for easy browsing of related work as there are different areas of specialties in IT. Other sites automatically match an individual’s profile with the available or appropriate spacing based on the information provided by the individual.
4. The applicant has the option to choose from a range of contractual, full time, part time, apprentice or temporary jobs.
5. If the individual prefers work that is not currently listed on the site, they may have the option of posting their resume, allowing potential employers to browse through at another time.
To avoid disappointment while browsing the myriad lists of IT openings on the Internet, pay attention to the following points:
1. Determine the following:
1.1 Organize your career portfolio in soft and hard copies. While most employers will ask for a copy of your resume via the net (email), there are some who still require a hard copy to be submitted to their respective offices.
1.2 Set the preferred place of work. Should a person wishing to relocate be offered a good position in another city or state? Does he like to work within commuting distance?
1.3 Salary. While it would not be wise to demand one’s salary especially during the interview process, a person should have a predetermined range of salary that he/she would be willing to accept, whatever the employer would be or wherever it is located.
2. Rank the items listed above by one’s preference.
3. Search the internet for various sites with lists of IT job openings.
4. Register on multiple sites for wider access to different lists.
5. Submit the resume based on the pre-determined preferences.
