By Eric Stutzman Looking for a new career opportunity can be time consuming; especially if you are doing your search as a fulltime employee at your present company. The first stop for many people is a job board. There are many choices in job boards that you can use; Monster, CareerBuilder, Workopolis, Hot Jobs, Dice, and Computer Jobs are among the prevalent ones. There is also a movement out there to take the job boards to the next level or in a different direction with companies like Market10 leading the way. Think eHarmony meets Monster. There are some differences between them but in many ways they are more similar than not. Now let me say for the record that these sites have large communities,

Probably not. You also need to spend time researching your target. In my introduction post I shared a bit about how I became a Microsoft employee. As I mentioned in the article you should research the companies that you are interested in becoming an employee. Ok now that you have decided on Microsoft let’s set a strategy in place. ;-) What are your interests? Gaming? Business Applications? Servers? Communications? Search? The beautiful thing about Microsoft is it offers a vast array of career channels. Research, research,

You will find quotes from people within the community; this is useful to note as if you search on the individuals you find you might run across their blog and they may be open to communication with you,

Applying to a position is only ONE of the things that you can do to try and land that dream job. Besides just browsing job boards and researching your target you also should spend time networking with your friends, family, and peers and/or expanding your networking to include new people. There are a variety of networking sites and tools to get you started and way too many to list here, but Wikipedia has a nice compilation. I have been a long time user of LinkedIn and find it in my opinion to be a top notch business related networking site. You can search by company,
Office Home And Business, by keyword, titles and a variety of other ways. Spend sometime on the appropriate sites looking for people in similar positions to yourself and/or managers looking for people with your skill sets that match your interests and reach out to them. Often times you will need to get introduced to them and please pay close attention to the types of contacts that the user you want to reach is accepting. So remember in today’s recruiting world while the big job boards are certainly one set of tools in your job hunting tool box, it isn’t and shouldn’t be the only set. Use your search engines, V2 job communities, networking sites and always remember to apply directly to the companies that you want to work and leverage relationships with people you know there,
