Jobseekers Turning Lax With Their Application Because of Online Job Search

6 December 2006 - Not too many job applicants utilise the Internet for their job searching these days.

With the convenience of online job search, it has been a growing trend for many Australian job applicants nowadays to be more lax and complacent with their job application. They think that signing up at any of the free online job classifieds and posting resume are all there is to a successful job application.

And they, of course, are right, but only up to a point. Sites like careerone.com.au, jobsearch.com.au, and OzFreeOnline may be free job classifieds sites which employers turn to for their job vacancies and workforce needs. But jobseekers shouldn't depend solely on their resume simply posted online and wait for whoever finds them. They too must be on the lookout for promising companies. Jobseeking is reciprocal after all, and should be more focused and targeted; not just a net thrown blindly in the water, so to speak. This is what separates the ordinary jobseeker from the successful jobseeker.

A simple research on the jobseeker's part is all it takes. Visiting the prospective employer's website, and browsing through the "About Us," "Employment," "Careers," "Our People," and "Our Services" sections will give jobseekers more insight into the company, as well as prepare them for the eventual interview. And in the job market, a cardinal rule is to always be prepared. It's all there in the Net, the resources one needs for a successful job application; unfortunately not too many jobseekers explore.

Employers are more impressed to see candidates who are engaged actively in the Net. Good online job search should be followed up with ample research then. It makes for better bargaining power during the job offer and salary negotiations. And inevitably, better chances in landing a promising career.
