Web job hunting is simpler than ever

Here is a great post from By Scott Stadum and the great folks at Idealist.org He writes; Thanks to the web, job hunting is simpler than ever. But unfortunately, that means more competition.

No worries; you have internet access and probably a bit of time on your hands. Here are some tools you might want to explore (in addition to our Nonprofit Career Guides, of course!):

FreelanceFolder.com has a great approach that will give you a bit of leverage in your job search: you can use iGoogle and rss feeds to create a job search dashboard.

The idea is simple and will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed. After you've set up your iGoogle page, you need to head over to your favorite job search sites like Idealist.org or SimplyHired and filter down opportunities to your specifications. Once you've done that, you'll be able to copy the search rss feed url. In iGoogle, click on the “Add Stuff” link on the upper right hand side to add your rss feed url. Do this for each job site you've used. For more details, follow this link back to freelancefolder.com.

Mashable.com has a few suggestions on how to develop your presence using LinkedIn.com as it has become an integral part of the search equation for both recruiters and job seekers. Making sure your profile is flawless is just the beginning; you'll also want to work on developing your LinkedIn presence, from your brand and network to positioning yourself as a leader.
