 Our Best Information Technology Job Search Advice

General and IT Job Sites

You have probably noticed if you have been looking for an IT job that you have a few options in the area of job boards and IT job sites, but do you really? You have most likely figured out that many IT and general job sites leave a little to be desired. Most IT and engineering job sites have been created for one purpose, which you have undoubtedly figured out on your own.

Think of an IT job search like trying to find something to eat and job sites are restaurants. Sure, you can pick out your current favorite IT job search site such as Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs, and others. What if instead of always going to your favorite place you go to a gourmet job site food court that has all of the best choices and many options, meaning all of the top IT job sites, general job sites, and actual IT and Engineering employers in one place.  You might say it is a menu that includes items from all of the top information technology restaurants.

That is what this IT job and career site offers. We do offer technology employers the ability to post, market, and feature their IT jobs and career pages directly on a niche IT job site, but we also offer the Internet's premier job aggregator, that indexes nearly every IT job from all major job sites, niche technology sites, IT associations, and IT employer's job pages.

This IT job site offers real value and is exactly how you should manage an efficient IT job search. IT job searching is not necessarily enjoyable, so if you are going to invest your job search time wisely, utilize an IT job site that allows you to sort through all information technology jobs and IT employers more quickly.

Posting IT Jobs

Paying for IT job postings, even for $25, is something you do if you are not really sure what you are doing. The massive exposure your company's IT jobs and career site can receive for free with job aggregators and proper SEO and SEM techniques is immense. The words "IT recruiting" has become synonymous with IT job postings.  A good corporate or agency IT recruiter knows that IT job postings on general job sites are not how you successfully fill information technology job openings.

As a veteran of the first job board and recruiting, paid IT job postings only attract a relatively small number of potential IT job seekers, and unfortunately they are not always the technology candidates you are looking for. If you have money to spend on IT job postings and IT recruiting, find some alternative marketing avenues, such as building a long-term brand on IT, engineering, software, and technology niche sites, IT orgs, and utilize PPC advertising, such as with Simply Hired and Google AdWords.

We are very familiar with all of your IT job posting options, and Simply Hired will provide the best return for your IT recruitment investment. If you want to attract passive IT job seekers, since the majority of IT candidates are working, try advertising your company's career site and IT jobs with Google AdWords, which places ads on relevant IT, technology, and engineering websites.

Avoid the quick fix method to attract the top IT job seekers. Look outside of Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder if you want to develop a high quality IT recruiting campaign that attracts the top IT, software, and engineering candidates and job seekers.

IT Resume Posting

Posting your IT resume seems easy and harmless enough, but is posting your IT resume worth the effort? Maybe, but probably not. If I am managing an IT job search, I am not relying on others to sort through an IT resume database to find my resume. I prefer to be proactive and research and approach to IT employers directly.

The major problem with Information Technology resume databases is that relatively few IT employers and companies pay the exorbitant charges to search IT resumes. Remember, there are hundreds of thousands of IT and related employers. It is the case that the majority of IT employers in America, are considered small companies or start-ups. They are rarely spending thousands of dollars on a IT resume database in order to fill a few IT jobs.

If you are going to post your IT resume, do so with more than just one or two job sites as this will rarely produce a new information technology job. Everyone knows about Monster, HotJobs, Dice, and CareerBuilder, but there other places to post your IT resume as well, and we are not referring to the thousands of obscure IT and general job sites you should avoid.

The top 10 job sites for posting your technology or engineering resume, which may actually have IT employers utilizing them, comprise nearly 100% of all resume database paying IT employers. As a rule of thumb, if you have not heard of a particular general or technology job site, do not waste your time posting your IT resume to it.  It is imperative that you stick to large job boards such as Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder if you are impelled to post your information technology or engineering resume.

IT Recruiters

IT recruiters provide an invaluable job service in the right situation for an IT person seeking a regular full-time IT job. The problem is that there are just not enough right situations.

IT employers are going to pay a fee to an IT recruiter to locate an IT, software, or technology job seeker that they can not find easily on their own. This means that if you are in any of the following situations listed below, the odds of having a successful outcome finding an IT job with an IT recruiter or IT headhunter is minimal.

If you are in any of these situations, and you see IT jobs posted by IT recruiters on Monster, HotJobs, Dice, and CareerBuilder, or other related job sites, our suggestion is to not invest too much time applying and following up with the IT recruiter or staffing agency.

1. Entry level IT job seeker.
2. Unemployed IT job seeker.
3. Changing careers into IT.
4. Re-entering the IT workforce.
5. A very unstable IT career work history.

This is not a knock on your computer technology skills and abilities, but just how it works in the world of IT recruiting. With recruiting dollars always tight, employers are not interested in paying a fee for an IT candidate they feel they can locate. If you are not currently employed in an IT job, or a new college computer science graduate, it will be very difficult, but not impossible, to have success through an IT recruiter or headhunter. Do not worry about this because you can be your own recruiter which offers some great advantages.

IT Job Search Preparation

Some IT job seekers actually do like to prepare, but most do not do it, and when they do it, they do not do it very well. Personal marketing and IT job and career marketing is not a topic covered in high school or college. You need to, as with anything that you want to be good at, learn and develop it yourself.

IT job and career marketing comprises the job search life cycle which we have coined. (Preparation, Prospecting, Approaching, Presenting, Closing, and Following up) If you want to manage a successful IT job search and career, you have to improve and become excellent in each of these key areas, not just one or two.

If you do not already have this mentality, you need to think of yourself as an individual IT business. You develop and market your IT skills, IT experience, and IT education so you can offer it to relevant companies in exchange for compensation. You are a personal IT services corporation. You must continually increase your value so you can increase your pay through supply and demand.

Everything you do should be an effort to make your IT service more valuable. You need to consistently increase your value, especially when an IT employer is currently utilizing your services.  As a result of constantly building and improving your IT service and brand, finding IT customers will never be a problem, just ask the top Information Technology professionals in your field.

Regarding IT job search preparation, we have included our best job search advice at iCapitalMarketing.com.  You will find real world IT career information and tips from people with experience in human resources, staffing, recruiting, executive search, and IT hiring.

Top 10 IT Job Search Advice

1. Utilize an IT job search site that indexes IT job postings from all major job sites and IT employer's sites. Do not waste your time searching individual job sites. You will not miss an IT job posting by not searching multiple job and career sites.
2. Never pay to belong to an IT, specialty, or general job site no matter how tempting they make it sound.
3. Do not sign up for a job board in order to apply for an IT job. Apply directly to IT and engineering employers only.
4. Use targeted niche IT sites for IT job searching as they provide more relevant job ads and information related to your profession.
3. Do not sign up for a job site, IT job sites included, in order to see IT job search results. Never give anyone your address.
5. Get off of job boards some of the time and utilize other methods for locating IT job openings. Like a good salesperson would do, diversify your new IT job prospecting approach and methods. One of them will come through, but you must diversify.
6. Job search and apply for IT jobs for more than a couple of hours per day.  Keep digging for Information Technology jobs.
7. Locate and research IT employers outside of job boards. There are thousands of IT employers and IT jobs. Find relevant technology employers to research, approach, and apply to.
8. Only utilize and invest time searching for IT jobs through IT recruiters if your situation is appropriate.
9. Do not rely on posting your IT resume to general job sites or IT job sites. IT and engineering employers do use them, but it is a relatively small number who pay for these recruiting services.
10. Prepare and improve in all areas of the IT job search life cycle. Prepare, Prospect, Approach, Present, Close, Follow-up.
