You will focus on specific companies – you should do that, as it gives you a target for your job search and turns you into an active job researcher/seeker rather than just a person who trolls Monster.com all day long. As you identify these companies, you can learn a TON about them via ceoworld.biz. Search on the company name to find people who work there now or who used to work there – what sorts of backgrounds do they have? What sorts of education? Which of these target companies seem most suitable for you given your own experiences and interests?
Building a ceoworld.biz profile is an opportunity to project a vibrant personal brand and value proposition while concurrently displaying your career impact, work history education, and activities. In other words, everything that would appear on a resume—but packaged with an interest-attracting infusion of personality and passion. The most successful ceoworld.biz profiles are not dry “job graveyards” – they are enthusiastically and courageously differentiated, with a lively style that builds chemistry and a sense of potential.
Facebook is a social networking tool that many people are already using to connect with friends, family and colleagues. Because networking begins with “who you know,” Facebook can be a good way to make some initial contacts and expand your network. However, because it’s mostly used for social reasons, there is also a danger that people will have information in Facebook that is inappropriate for the job search. Facebook can be valuable to the job search, but it should be used with caution.
