Simply Hired- A Beneficial Job Search Tool

SimplyHired is one of the best job sites to utilize in your job search. I have been registered with SimplyHired for the past 14 months (free sign-up), and they send an email every day with listings within my designated area (Resume Writing, for contract opportunities). 


As I mentioned in a blog entry from last month, SimplyHired is an aggregate site in that it "scours" the Web for job listings based on your job target (keywords) and geographical preference (area). So, the two ways to use SimplyHired are:


1. Going to the site and conducting searches. As with any online search site, be sure to examine the ads carefully so that you don't apply for any multi-level marketing schemes (any job offer that requires you to pay to get in is to be avoided). 


TIP: If you want to search nationwide, leave the Location box blank.


2. Signing up for their free service. As I mentioned, I receive ads every day- now, sometimes they are for non-resume writing opportunities, but most are for my chosen profession. 


The important thing to remember is that, even though you can have ads sent to you and you can use their site, you need to examine the ads in detail and act upon as many as you can. In the current economy, it can still be a numbers game.
