Job Searching: It's about Marketing Yourself

Armed with an effective resume / CV, one may start the job search process. Without an effective CV, job searching will be extremely frustrating. When you're looking for your dream career in a company you like, you are telling the employer "hire me" - I am the best candidate for the job! And so do hundreds and thousands of others who are competing for the same attention. Smart job-seekers use various channels to "broadcast" their intention. Some of these are:
1) Through referrals - this is the most effective method
2) Networking - always important to keep your professional network alive even if you are not in need of a job yet
3) Answering to job advertisements
4) Using the service of job recruitment agencies
5) Responding to online job postings
6) Writing to prospective employers / companies (remember that some positions are never advertised)
7) Posting your resume online
