My point is that there are job postings in all kinds of places. Don’t restrict yourself to the same old sources. I love LinkedIn as much as the next person but not everything is posted there.
Watch for magazines, trade associations, community newspapers, business groups – there are so many possibilities.
Many jobs are only posted on company websites. There are quite a few good webinars that you can watch to learn about how to google for jobs. I am not sure it’s a skill you need to really develop. Most people do not want to be professional job seekers, but it can be an interesting way to spend a rainy afternoon.
So keep your eyes open and remember, don’t just read postings for you. Think about people in your circle as well. There is no better karma than helping someone find a job. I know because it’s what I do for a living.
