Getting Found by Employers

Are you looking for jobs in the all the right places? The job boards aren't the only sites to use for job searching and there's a trend where companies are seeking candiates in other places.

You'll find jobs that are posted only on company web sites, on industry-specific and local job sites, on LinkedIn, and on social networking sites like Twitter. You don't need to bypass the job boards entirely, but it's definitely a good idea to expand your job search to places where companies are hiring.
