Why your passions are more important than what you studied in college. This is a guest post by Melvin Dichoso. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. I know the word "ideal" varies from person to person but here in this article by saying "ideal job", what I mean is a job that you want and you think you can enjoy. In this guest writeup, I'm going to cover up why you need to define your ideal job first and foremost and how it's going to make your job hunting much easier. A little background about me first. I'm just 20 years old with a degree in Computer Science. I'm running my own small online business which has something to do with community-oriented websites and blogs yet still I prefer to have a day job, working as online marketing staff in one of the companies here in the Philippines. Now you know me :) How do I define it?

Today’s job search is unlike any you’ve ever seen before. In addition to the recession-fueled glut of workers, the explosion of web-based job searches and online social networking has turned the process into something entirely new. That has resulted in candidates who previously, would have flooded the market with resumes, gotten several responses, a few interviews, and a couple of job offers, but now face online job applications that thousands of others have seen, too. It’s all too easy to get lost in the shuffle, and never even get a “Dear John” letter. Instead of lamenting the cyberspace crush of candidates, you can use the same tools that work against you and turn them into aids in your job search strategy.

Just can't wait to get on the road again.” – Willie Nelson It's 6am and the car is waiting outside your house to take you to the airport.

If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. What not to do online We have all heard the cautionary tales of being careful about what you post on the Internet.

If you are looking for work, it is better not to boast that you are one serious party animal on Facebook.
