How to look for a job if job sites don't help

Through social media

Write a post and ask your friends to share

Finding an acquaintance job is still effective. Only thanks to social networks, it has become simpler and reaches a larger audience. It will be especially successful if you have previously added as friends not only former classmates, but also colleagues.

If your followers share a post and it catches the eye of someone looking for a specialist for your profile, it will be a kind of recommendation.

It may turn out that several people are looking for an employee at once, but they did not consider your candidacy, because they believed that this was not relevant for you.

Look for work in specialized groups

Not every public with vacancies is suitable if you want to find a good job, and not just any one. It is difficult to navigate in a group where all ads are published indiscriminately. And the abundance of inappropriate offers will demotivate and anger.

Select the pubs in which people are looking for work specifically in your field. Let's say the “Work in Marketing” group is more suitable than “Work in Kazan”.

Use search

Just enter in the search bar several variants of phrases that may appear in the vacancy you are interested in. The method is more suitable for professions where remote work is possible, since the results will contain offers from different cities. But if you are not too lazy and flip through the tape a little longer, you can find local office options.

This search will also help you quickly find groups with jobs in your industry.

How to find a job: use the search bar wisely

Subscribe to representatives of leading companies

In any industry, there are several large companies that everyone dreams of going to. The easiest way to track vacancies is to find a person in social networks who publishes these ads on his page and subscribe to him.

Communicate in specialized groups

This option takes a lot of time and effort and does not always live up to expectations. But if you like to communicate on social networks, it is worth giving a try, since representatives of companies are often present in large specialized groups. Discuss cases, share experiences, help newbies. Chances are that you will be noticed and called to their place.

Through companies directly

If you are not a beginner specialist and know the industry well, then you are aware of the best organizations in the city where your competencies could be useful. Try to reach them directly, even if there are no vacancies there.

Make a list of such companies and write in each letter. Approach it responsibly: it is important for you to correctly introduce yourself and interest the addressee, so that the message will at least be read. Write what you can do and how it can help the company. Demonstrate knowledge of the industry and organization.

If you are especially brave and sociable, you can call for the same purpose.

On non-core free classifieds sites

Such sites are usually associated with buying and selling used goods, and this is an unfortunate oversight. For example, there are almost 19 thousand vacancies at Avito in St. Petersburg, and in various fields, including the civil service. Salary offers are also varied.

If you are a top manager, then, most likely, you will not find anything suitable, but you have a completely different specifics of work. The rest should definitely look through the list of vacancies.

In Telegram channels

The main disadvantage of channels with vacancies is that, unlike specialized sites, there are not many offers there. But they are all relevant and created really for the search for employees, and not for probing the market. Therefore, it is worth reacting to them quickly, since there is likely to be a lot of competition here.
