How do I post my resume without my current job seeing it?

We Answered:

I really don't know how you can avoid being detected unless you use an alias and fictitious employers. That's the problem with job hunting on the net. There are other ways of looking for a job which are actually more effective.

There are multiple ways to gather information and to learn about industries and available jobs. You can:
Ø Use the internet and search company home pages and job sites
Ø Network with friends, family and colleagues
Ø Conduct research and contact companies directly
Ø Answer classified ads in newspapers, professional journals, and trade papers
Ø Attend job fairs and open houses
Ø Contact the placement office of your school
Ø Work with support groups
Ø Canvass community and civic associations
Ø Use an employment agency
Ø Look in the Yellow Pages and "cold call"
Ø Check state employment and service centers
Ø Call employment hot lines in specific companies

Career development specialists have found through experience that directly contacting targeted companies and networking are the job search methods that give the best results. The overwhelming majority of jobs (85 to 90 percent of them) are found this way. They work because they lead to jobs that are often not advertised widely, jobs that few people know about.

Peace and every blessing!





The Five Best Ways to Hunt for a Job. The five best ways to try to find a job, listed in order from lowest success rate to best, are:

1. Asking for job leads from: family members, friends, people in the community, staff at career centers -- especially at your local community college or high school or college where you graduated.

2. Knocking on the door of any employer, factory, or office that interests you, whether they are known to have a vacancy or not.

3. By yourself, using the phone book's Yellow Pages to identify subjects or fields of interest to you in the town or city where you are, and then calling up the employers listed in that field, to ask if they are hiring for the type of position you can do, and do well.

4. In a group with other job hunters, using the phone book's Yellow Pages to identify subjects or fields of interest to you in the town or city where you are, and then calling up the employers listed in that field, to ask if they are hiring for the type of position they can do, and do well.

5. Doing A Life-Changing Job-Hunt. A job hunt is just a job hunt until we come to that point in our lives where we want to set our feet upon a new path. When the traditional job hunt doesn't work very well at all. A life changing job hunt requires a different approach. You are contemplating radically shifting direction. This is called by various names. Sometimes it's called "Find Your Dream Job," Sometimes it is called "a career change."

Peace and every blessing!

Do all search firms have to enter your resume into their database if you apply for only one job with them?

We Answered:

The only true job security these days is in having a job opportunity the pipeline. Are you satisfied with your current position? I would say there is a reason you are looking around or exploring one other possibility. What search firm are you utilizing?

As far as your current employment, what are you doing to make yourself retain able or more over, promotable?

Employers want to see 8 different characteristics in there employees. Loyalty is at the top of the list. But it is very com man to dip your toes in the employment pool to test the water. This gives you bargaining power. I would not worry to much about your current employer finding out.

Database design of a Job Search Site?

We Answered:

You would need to have a date for the employeer that wants to put a job offer online, the description of the job, the title of the job and a way that possible jobseekers could get in touch with the employeers. For the jobseeker you would need something like a user and password or other way to identify him/her in the system, a description field for having a resume. You may add somethings as well. So your site can look different from the other ones.

Database programming and setup - anyone did a job search web site?

We Answered:

I can't speak for MySQL but if it is similar to Oracle, make sure that you are using a parameterized query for your query. If you don't, the database will need to create a new plan to search the data for every query rather than reusing an existing plan. Another option for the keyword searching is to run a period "keyword" optimization process periodically based on popular keyword searches. If you many people are searching for "entry level" as a key word, you could create an index to lookup all entries that contain the key word during an off peak time. The query interface could first check against the index and if it finds a keyword you haven't used before then it would run a straight query against the data. Just keep stats on what the common query key words are and you could optimize a bit.

If you decide to allow posters of the job to enter key words, you could find that they are a bit inaccurate. Some people could enter key words that aren't in the job description just to ensure it is found. If you do choose to use this, be sure to check that the keyword is somewhere in the job posting text before allowing the record commit.
