Tips for Searching for Hospital Jobs Online

In this day and time, the internet is a one stop shopping and information destination. Just about anything can be found on the internet. For this reason, many businesses are choosing to post job openings online because they know that more people are searching for jobs online rather than the old traditional ways of calling or looking in the newspaper. Searching for hospital jobs online is no exception. Hospitals and medical centers across the country and around the world are now posting hospital jobs online.

If you are searching for hospital jobs online, the first thing that you need to realize is that there are literally hundreds of thousands of jobs listed on the internet. Therefore, the best way to search for hospital jobs online is to narrow your search. For example, searching for hospital jobs online by location or job position will significantly decrease the number of websites that you have to sort through. One of the best ways to search hospital jobs online is to search by hospital or medical center. Most hospitals will post job openings on their website, so you can go directly to the source for job information.

One thing to keep in mind is that many hospitals will post jobs internally before they open them to the public. So, if you have a contact, friend or family member at a particular hospital, have them search for hospital jobs online via their intranet. This way, you will know about a job opening before the general public knows and can go ahead and submit and application or resume to the appropriate person. If nobody from the hospital applies, you will likely be the next runner up. In addition to searching for hospital jobs online, we also suggest that you contact hospitals of interest to see if you can submit a resume to the departments where you would like to work (such as nursing, maintenance, etc.) so that they will have your information on hand should a job opening occur.

7 Top Tips for Using Job Search Websites

Finding a job online is not longer a luxury or something reserved for only a few lucky people who know how to find job opportunities on the Internet. Today, anyone can get quick access to a large variety of job listings on major job search websites such as Superjoblist.com or Monster.com. Such websites allow you to post resumes and apply to a job through online forms. Newsletters and email announcements that let you know of new jobs in the areas you are interested in are also available and should be used extensively to get the edge on new listings. In addition to the actual job listings, you may also find resources on how to secure a job and how to make your CV more attractive. Here are a few general tips that apply to all major job search websites – assimilate these ideas in your job hunt strategy and your chances of success will skyrocket.

1. Use online and offline social networking to get more resources on new jobs and to get recommendations.

2. Don’t rely on a single job hunting website and try to diversify your search. There are literally thousands of niche job sites that might give you a better chance than a huge general job searching website.

3. Job search engine websites are also an interesting option – they work similarly to Google or Yahoo, but they only display results closely related to job offers.

4. Local websites should also be included on your list, together with national job listing websites.

5. In addition to creating profiles on job websites, also check with your Chamber of Commerce and local newspaper listings.

6. Job banks are another resource that can land you your dream job. Search by keyword, location, career type or any other relevant criteria and narrow down the list to only the most relevant available jobs.

7. When applying for a job, you should try to personalize the message as much as possible, and show the employer that you actually took the time to read through their ad and to go through their company profile. A simple copy-paste cover letter won’t do much good, especially if it is very vague and general.

Finding your dream job is not as difficult as you might think. However, remember that you are not the only one hunting for a good job, so expect some tough competition. Success won’t necessarily happen after one or two job applications, but perseverance and a good baggage of skills will definitely put you on the right track.

The Benefits of Job Seeking With Your Child

Are both you and your offspring out of work? In the economy following the financial crisis, it’s not uncommon for more than one member of the family to be looking for work at the same time.

However, there are inherent benefits to a parent out of work and a child fresh out of college being able to work together the job hunt. Let’s take a closer look at the parent-child job search.

How the Parent Helps the Child

There are a number of ways that the parent can assist the child in the job search. First, the parent probably has years of experience either on one job, or on multiple jobs. With this type of knowledge, the parent can advise the child on what to expect in a work environment and even give advice about interacting in a professional setting.

But even more important is, during the job search, the parent would be able to help the child prepare the resume, understand what information should be listed, and also prepare for the interview. Again, this process is probably old news for the veteran parent and is something that can be passed on to the child who is just now taking on this new venture as the job seeker.

How the Child Can Help the Parent

What’s great about the knowledge that a recent college grad brings to the table is that it’s all fresh. A college grad has just finished learning about the latest technology, knows what’s going on in the industry he or she is pursuing and has probably even received some help from a career advisor on how to create a resume, cover letter and even mock interview.

Because your college grad comes with so much fresh knowledge, she may be able to get you up to speed on social networking sites like LinkedIn that will be perfect for networking professionally. Also, your child may be able to help you with other technical projects like placing your resume into text or Adobe format if you don’t already know. In other words, where you come with a boatload of experience and wisdom, your child comes with a fresh mind, making it easy for your child to assist you in areas you may be lacking.

How You Can Help Each Other

One of the most important aspects of job seeking is having a partner in your corner to help you throughout the process. Whether you have your best friend read over your resume, enlist your spouse to help you with a mock interview, or even have a cousin reaffirm that you will find a job, having support is a great thing. With the parent and child working together, it’s easy to have instant support, so be sure you both take advantage of it as you proceed through the process.

The great news is that you can work together with your child to find jobs that maybe you can start at the same time. But what’s even better is that you may be able to form a stronger bond with your child that could last a lifetime.

Network Your Way to a New Job or Career

When Cookie Burkhalter relocated from Colorado to Wilmington, Delaware three years ago, she thought finding a new job would be easy. With first-rate qualifications and more than twenty years of professional experience at Fortune 500 companies, she figured she would land a new position quickly by surfing a few Internet job boards and sending out her résumé.

But Burkhalter, an IT project manager, quickly discovered that it wasn’t going to be so easy. After months of applying for open positions, “I never got a single interview from a posting on the Net,” she declared. “Applying for all those jobs was a complete waste of my time.”

Her job search began to turn around for Burkhalter when she realized that the missing element in her job search was the human factor. “Even though I grew up in Delaware, I had been living out of state for a long time,” she recalled. “I had almost no local contacts, so I was relying on postings and ads to find out about available jobs. But by the time I saw the ad, so had thousands of other people, and one of them was always just a little more qualified than me.”

Network Your Way to A New Job

So Burkhalter set about rebuilding her business and social network. She joined two women’s groups made up of others who shared some of her personal interests and hobbies, and began to meet new people. When she let her new friends know about her job search, all of a sudden, she began to hear about jobs before they were advertised, and interviews started to materialize. When she finally did land a new job, it was the direct result of a referral from a friend.

You may not recognize what Burkhalter did as business networking, but that’s exactly what it was. Many people think of business networking as circulating around a room and exchanging business cards. But a broader view of business and social networking is that it creates a pool of contacts from which you can draw leads, referrals, ideas, and information for your job search. You can network without ever attending an official business or social networking event, although attending events is useful in networking.

Texas resident Maria Elena Duron found an executive job as a result of working as a community volunteer. “I was volunteering at the Midlands MexTex Fiesta, and I found myself flipping burgers side-by-side with a board member of the Austin Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation," Duron remembers. "He asked me if I had ever been involved in fundraising, and when I said I had, he asked for my résumé. He forwarded it to the Foundation with his personal recommendation, and three weeks later I was hired as Executive Director for the West Texas Region."

Find Your Job and Career by Business Networking

Your career network can and should contain current and former co-workers, alumni from your school, a wide range of people in your industry, and personal friends. Making time for lunch or coffee with these people can be much more productive for your job search than reading the want ads or surfing the web. In fact, surveys consistently show that 80-85% of job-seekers find work as the result of a referral from a friend or colleague, and only 2-4% land jobs from Internet job boards.

If you have been out of touch for a while with people you already know, don’t let that stop you from re-establishing contact when you start your job search. Everyone you speak to will have had to look for work at some point in their career, and most of them will be sympathetic and helpful.

To spread your business and social networking net even wider, you may need to start making the acquaintance of new people also. Every time you talk to a friend or colleague about your job search, ask for suggestions of other you might speak to, and follow up on their referrals.

Protecting Your Identity While Job Hunting Online

By Heather Eager

If you’ve conducted online job searches, you know that in the application process you will have to provide some level of personal information to complete the preliminary screening process.
If you are a part of the growing club that feels incredibly uncomfortable giving out your personal information over the Internet, don’t let it slow you down. There are ways to conduct your online job search without exposing yourself to hackers and identity thieves.

Limit Personal Details on Your Resume

As you may know, many online job searches require that you submit your resume electronically so that employers can simply sort through them. In most cases, your resume probably lists your home address and phone number, along with an email address and any other personal details you decide to include. While disclosing this information makes you easier to contact, posting it on a website can leave you very vulnerable to predators of all kinds.
One way to avoid the danger of leaving too many personal details out there for whomever may be lurking on the other side of the computer, is to provide temporary contact information. For instance, you can rent a post office box just during the time of your search. Also, you can get a temporary cell-phone number and email address, both dedicated to the search. By listing this temporary information on your resume, or submitting it with an application, you can increase your privacy and lower your risk of identity theft.

Apply Directly to Employers

It’s not uncommon that, as a part of their online job search, people sign up with job banks that allow them to post their resume on the site. Many jobseekers take this route because of the benefits it offers, including allowing hiring managers and headhunters to locate them more easily.
The only problem with this type of job search is that it leaves your personal information just sitting out there for the world to see. For this reason, some experts suggest that instead of posting your resume on a job site that allows employers and headhunters to find you, you consider searching for jobs on your own and applying to them directly. This can be done by contacting the company and asking if there is a way to email the hiring manager directly for the position. That way, you don’t have to post your resume online – and you don’t have to worry about entering personal details through online forms that get sent who-knows-where.

Take Advantage of Privacy Features

Increasingly, job sites that allow you to post resumes provide privacy features that limit your exposure. By blocking contact information from the general search, you can make it possible for employers to reach you only through a confidential email address created on the site.
Since so many employers require electronic job-application submissions, it’s a good idea to figure out your submission options sooner rather than later. That way, you won’t miss out on any great opportunities because you feel nervous about spilling too many beans.

Give Your Job Search More Direction

By ARA Content

Job hunting has evolved from searching the classifieds to browsing online job boards and career search engines. But before you get settled in front of your computer, you should ask yourself some important questions – then be prepared to go social.
Marc Scoleri, director of Career Services at The Art Institute of New York City, recommends doing a self-directed job search in conjunction with other search techniques.
A self-directed job search takes into account your personal preferences and businesses of interest. Realizing personal preferences and having a sense of self-awareness as it relates to your career is important when determining which companies to research.
In working with students attending Art Institute schools, Scoleri compiled the following inventory questions, which can help any jobseeker clarify objectives and plan a more focused job search:
• What industry is most interesting to you for a career? Why?
• What geographic location is most appealing?
• What duties do you enjoy doing most and least as they relate to your industry?
• What is the minimum pay you can survive on?
• What topics within your industry do you want to learn most about?
• What are some of the job titles that interest you?
• What position do you want three to five years from now?
• What personal goals can you achieve by obtaining a position in your chosen industry?
• What is your ideal work schedule?
• What employer-offered benefits are important to you?
• Whom can you contact within your industry of choice?
After you’ve answered all the questions, target companies based on your responses. Then contact managers within the departments of interest, even if they are not currently hiring.
"Personally, I’d prefer to interview someone who went out of his or her way to call me directly, over someone who found a posting on some stale job board," Scoleri says. This is where socializing begins and networks are developed.
LinkedIn.com has become one of the most respected online networking tools for professionals. Complete a profile on LinkedIn.com and you’ve taken an important step toward creating a powerful online network. It takes, on average, 65 contacts to create a network large enough to result in substantial and meaningful findings on LinkedIn, notes Victoria Snabon-Heath, career services director at The Art Institute of Tampa. She urges jobseekers to set themselves apart from the ordinary, dime-a-dozen applicants who inundate companies on a daily basis. "Go social. Begin utilizing virtual, social marketing techniques in addition to your online job search."
Snabon-Heath says it’s important that students, recent graduates and the unemployed extend themselves by joining and volunteering with professional organizations in their field of focus. Attend a monthly professional organization meeting, such as one of the local chapters of IEEE if engineering or technology is your profession.
"Students have participated in monthly social mixers in order to meet the hiring managers and directors who may be too busy during the workweek to respond to emails and phone calls from eager prospective hires," she says. "Put yourself out there. It’s who you know that can help get you in the door and what you know that keeps you there."

Make Job Hunting Job One

By Scott Brown

Many facets of life require discipline: getting up every morning to go to work, paying your bills, putting gas in your car, and countless other things. However, many people consider looking for a new job as a hassle that can be addressed whenever the mood strikes them.
Many Americans today have an ‘it can wait’ attitude, and their career search suffers as a result. Finding a job, just like putting food on the table and keeping a roof over your head, requires discipline and extreme effort to accomplish.
People who join the military get a taste of discipline during boot camp and basic training. However, even those folks often lose a considerable amount of their discipline when they enter the civilian working world. If you have the discipline to work out every day or to get up and go to work, then you have the discipline to find a new job and find it quickly.

Look Everywhere

The discipline required to find a good job starts with looking diligently for the right employment opportunity. You have to look continuously, and when I say continuously, I mean during every free minute that you have.

Finding that perfect job means spending part of your lunch hour at the library doing research into the types of employers that are most likely to hire someone with your background and skill set. It also means spending a minimum of one hour a night surfing job boards. And that is just the beginning.
Once you have disciplined yourself enough to spend all your free time looking for new employment, you can begin to divide your job search time into specific tasks. One important aspect of looking for work is to make new contacts. One way to do this is by sending your resume to placement agencies that work with people in your industry and letting them know the type of position you are seeking.

Networking and Beyond

Never underestimate the power of networking: Nearly half of all jobseekers get their jobs through referrals. Begin by networking with your friends and family for ideas and inspirations. Then extend your network to include those acquaintances whose spouse might work for a good company, or that person you met at church who works for a company that might be hiring. No matter what the source, you need to take advantage of any contacts you may have.
Another element of a disciplined job search is looking at all possible sources for a job. This might include multiple job boards, several newspapers, and many different company websites. It never hurts to send a resume to a company that is not hiring, because they will generally keep your resume on file for six months or more.
Finally, it’s worth your time to browse the phone book and Internet, calling places where you might like to work. I have actually gotten a job while the market was terrible by blindly calling software companies to see if they needed help.

Stay Positive and Focused

Disciplining yourself to find that perfect job also includes maintaining a positive attitude – even in the face of rejection. I have sent out hundreds of resumes without a response, but continued sending out my resume until I landed a job.
Unfortunately, looking for a job is not like going to McDonalds. You can’t just pull up to the drive-through and select your new job from the super value menu. To make this meal truly satisfying, you have to start from scratch and follow the recipe (advice from experts) as closely as possible.
If you approach getting a new job or advancing your career as one of those events in life that require perseverance and discipline, you will succeed where others fail. If you are able to dedicate any and all free time to finding that perfect job, your efforts will be rewarded. So, put your nose to the grindstone and accept the fact that finding a new job is going to take a lot of work, extra effort, and your utmost discipline.

More Graduates, More Job Seekers

By Ira Boudway


It's graduation time at colleges around the world, and the job market is a little more welcoming to 21-year-olds than it was in the depths of the recession. Still, graduates are struggling to find their place in the workforce, with high rates of unemployment and underemployment in the industrialized world. Here's a sampling.
U.S.

A survey by the National Association of Colleges & Employers found that 24.4 percent of 2010 college graduates who applied for a job have one waiting after graduation, up from 19.7 percent last year.
Japan

According to a joint survey by the labor and education ministries, the employment rate for students who graduated in March is 91.8 percent, a 3.9 percentage point drop from last year and the lowest rate since 2000, when 91.1 percent of graduates were able to find work.
China

The Human Resources & Social Security Ministry hopes to place 70 percent of the graduating class by July and aims to push that figure to 80 percent withinthe year. Last year 68 percent of the graduating class was placed by July 2009 and 87 percent within the year.
Great Britain

A survey of 16,000 students by High Fliers Research found that of the 55 percent of final year students who have already applied for positions, 15 percent have received offers so far, slightly above last year's rate.

Boudway is a reporter for Bloomberg News.
