- Don’t be too technical or industry specific in your profile
- Don’t jump on a social networking site and give the perception that you’re desperately looking for a job — just “taking” and not “giving”
- Don’t wait until you’re laid off before building out your social networks and staying active
- Don’t forget to check out your “online presence” or “personal branding” to make sure nothing embarrassing shows up when you Google your name
- Don’t forget the No. 1 goal is an in-company referral and you must be willing to take action outside your comfort zone to get one
- Don’t spend too much time in front of the screen. Phone calls and face-to-face meetings are vital
- Don’t be afraid to reach out to anyone on the Web in your targeted area — ask questions, suggest products, share information
- Don’t expect to log on and find a direct lead, because the best tips often come from someone on the network who is several times removed from you
- Don’t forget to stay engaged in your field, keep up on the latest news, products and services. Check out start-ups, which can be a great place to find a job if you act fast
- Don’t try to make friends or contacts with everyone you can on the networks; make sure it’s someone you know or have something in common with
Tag: find a job
American marketing was always a bit specific. In some cases it just does not ‘cross the water’ well, and sounds a bit off on our shores here. In recruitment the example is the job site Hound.com. It is a Employers Only model job site, like Ireland has its own RealJobs.ie. It’s marketing is very original and different from the usual jobs sites. On Hound everything is about the hounds and the front page is full of dogs images. 13 dogs will welcome you on the Hound home page. Quite impressive for the jobs site, isn’t it?
This is Hound they think you should use them:
Hound shows its members jobs from every employer website it can find in the United States and throughout the world. It is the most powerful job-search engine in existence and powers several job boards. Recruiters use Hound to track down potential jobs for their clients.
Meaning: If there is a job, Hound will sniff it!

Recruitment SEO 101: Keyword Analysis
Any SEO Consultant will tell you that a decent SEO project should somewhere in its starting phase have a step called Keyword Analysis. Unfortunately different people have a quite different idea what exactly does the Keyword Analysis mean. Some mean that it is about finding the most relevant keywords, some that it is about the number or keywords, and the rest arte somewhere in between.
Google has a quite easy to use Keyword Suggestion Tool. Here are the keywords that Google will ‘suggest’ as a similar and relevant search keywords to the term ‘Jobs’.
