Then, there are those people who make tentative steps into job hunting as and when feels right for them. This might involve updating your CV and LinkedIn, connecting with recruiters, joining job boards and applying for advertised jobs.
For some people though, job hunting is a constant and
ongoing process. There are those people who live their lives on the job boards,
updating their details regularly (sometimes even daily) and very active about
keeping their channels of contact open.
For contractors, who only commit themselves to companies for
weeks or months at a time, having job board visibility can be a fantastic way
to keep informed of upcoming projects. For designers in permanent roles, there
is nothing wrong with keeping yourself abreast of the job opportunities which
could be out there for you or your industry acquaintances.
As a recruiter I do sometimes wonder what it must be like to
be in this position.
When I’m actively resourcing for a new role, one of the
first places I will look is the job boards.
This is where I find people who are flagging themselves up
as open to hearing about roles. I think, “Well, this role matches their
location and expertise, why don’t I give them a call?” But then I think – if
I’m looking to speak with this person about a new job – how many other recruiters
are doing the same thing? How many calls to job board regulars get in an
average week?
It must be hard to keep tabs on the names of recruiters who
have called you, let alone which jobs they have sent you information about!
It would be great to hear from job board regulars about
their experiences.
How can recruiters like me make it easier for you to find
your next move?Look forward to hearing from you. please email me.
