Job Search Methods For 2011!

It is a brand new year and there are still a lot of people out of a job. Maybe it is time you stopped banging your head against a brick wall and tried something new. Maybe even a top online home business. Here are a few other methods you can use to start the new year with a bang.Make a PlanOne: Set some New Year goals and do them. Everyone has new year resolutions, and at least 80% never keep them. This year set goals instead, of making resolutions. Even better than goals, make a plan, it is much easier to have a plan and stick to it than it is a goal or a resolution.Make your plan to search online for a job a little longer each day. Or to start reading books to gain more knowledge rather than watching television. Have someone hold you accountable for finishing your plan each week, this will help build your self confidence.Online EducationTwo: If you flat-out can not find a job in the field of your expertise, look for something else. What a perfect time to go back to school, or get an online education, you are already unemployed with nothing else to do. There is government funding and other types of funds out there for, out of job seekers.There are also a lot of programs where you can earn while you learn. Our company has an online educational university where you can learn how to market a product, a service or even yourself. Learning how to market yourself is a sure way to get ahead of your competition in the corporate world, or in the top online home business world.Good Online ReputationThree: You need a good reputation. Believe it or not, when you apply for a job the company will do a search for your name online. Even some online home business companies have an application for you to fill out to see if you qualify.When they search for your name, it is much better that they find out information about you being an expert in your field rather than just Christmas pictures on Facebook. Have a good profile on Facebook, LinkedIn and even Twitter, it really does matter. This is an online information age and you want people to see that are a leader in your industry. Having professional content on these sites really will make a difference if you get the job or if someone else will.Setup A Website or BlogFour: Set up a website or a blog. You may wonder what a website or a blog has anything to do with getting a job, but like I said, this is an online world. It takes only about eight dollars to get a domain name and about three dollars a month to have your website or blog hosted.By using word press you can have one set up in no time and it is real easy to use. If you have yourself a blog and start putting up posts everyday, you may even have an owner of a company find you. You can also interact with other blog owners and find a job that way. A blog is like word of mouth in the off-line world.Sell YourselfFive: Learn how to sell yourself. If you are a modest person, this may be a hard one. Just think of what expertise you have to offer, what accomplishments you have had throughout the years. Be prepared when you are asked, Why should I hire you?, or Why do you think this business is right for you?Always keep your head high and answer every question with honesty. At the end of the interview, always leave your name and phone number or better yet your website or blog for them to look at. If you do not hear back in a few days, then call them.Keep A Positive AttitudeSix: No matter how hard it may get, always keep a positive attitude. Forget all the struggles you may have had in the old year, remember this is a brand new year. You need to start out with a brand new attitude.If you do not get the job you have been after, then try something new, try a new skill, a new job search method. Re-evaluate your life of where you have been to where you want to be right now. Make this new year your best ever!Zig Ziglar Quoted: “This I know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough, and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward.”Never give up, Make 2011 your Year for Success!
