A
It’s never been easier to find vacant jobs or apply for them nowadays. “With technology, it’s much easier,” says Dennis Masel, chief operating officer of a US staffing agency. Mr. Masel says PDF files, mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works. “ I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a client’s office,” he says. “ Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”
Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process. Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click. And it is not only computers but also mobile phones. However, some employers do not follow up on the applications they receive. It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less inclined to click on new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.
First, he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work. “By making a personal connection, you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”
Second, he says, you must react quickly when you see a job you want. “ For every position that you are interested in, you have to imagine that thousands of job-seekers are all coming after the same position. You’ve got to be quick. Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”
Third, use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.
“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and it’s really easy for me to basically discover what positions I might be interested in,” he says. “ Put keywords in, such as the location you want to search and your experience, and get exactly what you want.”
