-I have tried monster.com and those site-they have provided me with scam jobs (work at home and make a thousand dollars) or jobs that are way above my experience level. I have had moderate success with Craigslist and Facebook…but not much better luck.

-People have told me to get a job recruiter. How do I go about this?? Who do I contact? Is it free? What do they do? etc.

-I have a college degree, but no work experience because I’ve just graduated. How can I use this to my advantage/word it on my resume and cover letter?

- How can I find a job when everything either requires 3 yrs experience or simply a high school diploma? I don’t care if I ever use my degree ever (it’s in art), but I’d like to have a job that at least requires A degree. So far the only job I have even interviewed for only pays $10/hr, which seemed okay until I realized I’d barely be able to afford rent.

-PLEASE HELP with any advice/tips/experience on finding a job!!

Thanks so much.

Graduates fresh out of college have a problem, and the problem is that they are fresh out of college. Other than some little work experience and theoretical knowledge, few graduates have the needed experience to become practical successes immediately they step into their first jobs. Entry-level positions are available which provide on the job training but the number of positions available is small and bears no reflection to the huge amount of graduates that institutions of learning churn out on an annual basis.

Most graduates are ignorant of this fact primarily because they are fresh out of school and do not realize the difficulty of getting employed and the rigors of the job market. The bulk of these graduates are still suffering from the aftermath of sorority and fraternity parties and they don’t really know getting jobs takes more than having educational qualifications. More importantly, it involves the personal readiness to work, showing employers you are ready and that you have the capacity to learn what you don’t know quickly. These bits of advice will help:

Aggression is Required

The majority of college graduates don’t act like they need a job; they wait on placement firms and prospects to send in their sparsely filled resumes. Most companies have a pile of such resumes sitting at the desk of a bored mid or low level employee with no interest in reading what you spent the last few years of your life doing in college, after all they are the ones doing you the favor by accepting your application in exchange for a job, job seekers are in no short supply.

A college graduate should be much more aggressive in searching for a job than someone who has years of experience and is switching employers. Such people have experience to trade and something to give to those that employ them and yet they seek out jobs actively, so why should college graduates with little or no experience have it easier? A college graduate has to be proactive and persistent and seek out the decision-makers in the establishment they wish to work in. Make calls, send e-mails and get directions. Sure, a number of rejections and slammed doors will come your way but sooner or later you will get the single positive answer that is all you need.

Do the Necessary Research

A prospective employee has to know more about the company they intend to work for in order to better structure their application and resume to meet the exact requirements and demands of such an organization. If you end up getting a job interview you’ll also end up doing better by virtue of this knowledge. Don’t think in terms of asking for a job alone, think in terms of asking for a job and telling prospective employers how you can offer your readiness to learn and work to match the precise needs of their organization.

Employing the Power of Networking

Established career seekers make use of networking in their arsenal of job seeking tools; recent college graduates looking for jobs can do the same as well. Better networking is possible by contacting people who are already established in the field you intend to find a career in. You can also network by finding other job seekers that are as serious as you are and who can share beneficial information with you which should help in career search goals.

Earlier Job search was a tedious task because of limited availability of tools online. But now it’s easy with the help of online job search engines like Jobmixi.com. It helps you to look for job openings across different Indian cities and states. What Jobmixi.com does is to create a huge database of jobs, which come from different company career pages and job boards. Then, it categorizes the collected jobs data so that job seekers can easily locate a job which suits them.

This has made the search process easy for job seekers and narrowed down into just job listings instead of using a regular search engine that may provide you a long list of results and some may not even be associated with the job you are looking for.

Another advantage of using Jobmixi.com is its large job database. If you are looking for job based on experience, location, salary, company then using Jobmixi.com is effective for you. Unlike the job ads in newspapers, which can only provide you limited search ads and you cannot go back to the ads posted the other day, Jobmixi.com pioneered with its search technology provides users with jobs searchable as long as the job is still open by the company.

Jobmixi.com is easy to use because all you have to do is using the search box. To make job search easier categories have been maintained based on keyword, location and technology the job seeker is looking for.

Jobmixi.com offers great features, which will make your job-hunting much easier. These include:

Free resume posting: Jobmixi.com allows you to post your resume. Then, Jobmixi will use this information so it can identify which job is right for you. Instead of looking for a job yourself, the job search engine will send you an email with the list of new job posting which matches your preferred job, credentials and work experience (based on the resume you posted). You can also create job alert for the keywords which you are looking for.

Advanced search: If you would like to narrow your search and would view only job openings that meet your specified requirement, utilizing the advanced search can do this. Criteria can be job location, salary, keyword, company, job type, experience.

Job advice: Jobmixi.com helps jobseekers by providing tips and advice about job search and interview skills. You can look up for articles about resume writing, preparing for an interview, etc.

Save job: whenever you search for jobs and come across any job which is of interest to you, you can save your favorite job in your profile page and get back to it at your convenience.

With all the above features I believe Jobmixi.com can help you land it to a dream job which you are looking for.
