Looking for a Job?

Technology Etiquette Tips for Job Seekers - let digital technology help you re-enter the working world. You can even track job openings at http://www.indeed.com/ and http://www.linkedin.com/. Here are some tips:
  • Avoid Email Blasts - respond to jobs that fit the "best"
  • Embrace snail mail - too many job seekers are sending "hire me" email pitches to employers
  • Get personal - if you do email pitches, make them personal
  • Follow - up - pay attention to how you should make follow up contacts
  • Don't call a Manger's cell phone number unless given permission
  • Stick w/land lines
  • Manage your digital footprint - Mangers can be expected to go online and perform background checks.

Good luck!
