SEARCH FOR JOBS

Government

Local Chambers of Commerce

Local Chambers of Commerce

These jobs are working for us every day, and we often overlook them.  Remember, there are many layers of government, local, county, state, and federal.  Take a look at the many jobs available at USAJobs.gov, the US government's centralized website for Federal job openings.

Local Chambers of Commerce

Local Chambers of Commerce

Local Chambers of Commerce

Chambers of commerce are organizations of business owners and entrepreneurs that represent the interests of their local business community. Chambers of commerce offer valuable resources, professional networking opportunities, discounts, and relationships which allow businesses to save money and collaborate.

Specialized Online Platforms

Specialized Online Platforms

While LinkedIn and Indeed are the best places overall to find positions, keep in mind that many industries have their own place for posting jobs.  For example, elementary and secondary education often uses SchoolSpring.com, while Higher Education uses HigherEdJobs.com.

Business Newspapers

Specialized Online Platforms

Specialized Online Platforms

Yes, continue to search using traditional methods such as newspapers and other local media. A great example of a thriving newspaper with an active job board is the New York Times. In addition, the American City Business Journals offer a regional tool referred to as the Book of Lists (BOL). The BOL is a yearly compilation of business rankings published by regional business journals such as the Boston Business Journal. The local compilations of top-ranking data provide powerful sales leads, marketing lists, and job prospecting lists. This is an appropriate approach for job seekers who are data-driven.

READ A BOOK

A course of personal study and contemplation is an essential component for the individual development of every professional. Today it's not uncommon for everyone to have a busy schedule, let alone finding time to read and think is a recurring challenge. Nevertheless, even as we navigate the workforce, we must improve our minds through reading and critical thinking.


The evolving workforce demands us to improve our knowledge of our industries, economics, politics, and global affairs. We must know how to reinvent ourselves, hone in on our strengths and talents, and pursue innovation and change while preserving our core values in an era of fiscal constraint. 


I challenge you to read these books and debate and think critically about their ideas.

PARTICIPATE IN JOB FAIRS

Job fairs serve as an opportunity for employers, recruiters, and schools to reach out to prospective employees. It is important for job seekers to attend these recruitment events in order to make a positive impression on potential employers by talking face to face with one another, completing applications, and asking questions so as to get an understanding of the work needed. Likewise, online job fairs facilitate the exchange of contacts between potential employers and job seekers. 


Do you need help preparing for an in-person or virtual job fair?  ProfessorP Media can help!  Ask us about Power Interviewing!

ASK PROFESSORP

I believe the hiring process shouldn’t be complicated. Many individuals feel powerless in the job search and promotion process. I educate people to learn what recruiters and hiring managers are looking for and what it takes to get promoted. As a Gallup-certified career coach and LinkedIn expert, I take a personal and empowering approach to career development. The search is unique. It’s your journey to find passion at work, and I will be your guide.

Answers to your Recent Questions

It depends. If you are a recent graduate, yes. For a 2022 resume, a 2-page document is standard, unless you earned a doctorate, hold some terminal degrees or your positions focus on performing or conducting research.


You may be terrific at your job and still have a lousy resume. Unfortunately, you won’t get the interviews you deserve if your resume doesn’t clearly explain your qualifications and past achievements. ProfessorP resumes provides you with a data-driven resume, in an easy-to-understand format that works for ATSs, human readers, and hiring managers.
