Warning: what I’m about to share with you might actually get you hired faster than you intended. Only follow these instructions if you want a job at your dream company within a few months and you are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. These two techniques are based on a single human characteristic, ego. Almost everyone Googles themselves. Even Lady Gaga googles herself, as if there were any risk of her not showing up! Most busy executives take the time to Google themselves too. And if they don’t, then their admins or customers do. Oh, and guess what the cheapest ads are to buy on Google and Facebook? That’s right, someone’s name. Are you catching on yet? Let me break this down step by step.

So you’ve finished polishing your resume after proofing it 5 gazillion times in order to locate and exterminate all those pesky spelling mistakes, correct any obscure grammatical errors (wait, you can’t split an infinitive?), and handcrafting it carefully so that every single detail matches the appropriate requirement on the job ad. Now after sending it out to a dozen or so friends to proofread, you can kick back and have some fun.

Why Your Job Search Sucks

Are you getting results in your job search? This is a guest post by Peggy McKee. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Think about your school days for a minute. In your childhood, you spent a lot of time in elementary school, middle school, high school, and then college. In college you spent thousands of dollars and hours of time, energy and resources to get that education just to be able to succeed in your career. That was a big investment in yourself. But now you find yourself in the job search. And maybe you’re having trouble. Maybe you can’t get the job you want and the whole thing is difficult and it’s taking a long time and you’re frustrated. Your job search sucks. The question is: Why does your job search suck?

Counterpoint: Don’t Bother Applying For Jobs Online

Just because you're shown a path doesn't mean you need to take it. This is a guest post by Roderick Lewis. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. It is not easy for today’s job seekers: social unrest, crippling debt, and mass layoffs. Whether you are a current student, recent graduate, or restless professional, you’ll find that the burden of your job search is borne by you, and you alone. Don’t expect any favors or tips from the companies for whom you want to work – especially the “so-called” great places to work. Their objective is to survive and prosper in an increasingly competitive global market that has nothing to do with your desire to get a job. You bear the burden of trying to figure out what’s fact versus fiction as you begin your quest towards getting hired. Standing in the path of truth and transparency will be a plethora of vague job postings, ubiquitous job boards, flashy career sites, gatekeeping recruiters, and propaganda-wielding employer brands – oh my! It’s enough to strike a sliver of fear in even the most intrepid job seekers. Getting extended an employment offer these days is not for the faint at heart. You need a sound strategy, executable tactics, and an ability to avoid job search tar pits in order to get the ultimate prize – an employment offer.

WebHostingBuzz: Great Support But How Is Their Web Hosting?

A long-time JobMob sponsor, so should you use their web hosting service? Thank you to WebHostingBuzz for being a Gold Sponsor for the 6th Annual JobMob Guest Blogging Contest. In this article, my assistant Matthew takes an honest look at WebHostingBuzz. Like many things on the Internet these days, I find it hard to know where to start when it comes to web hosting. There is always such a vast array of options thrust in my general direction, and with limited ‘lingo’ at my disposal, trying to decipher my way to the best service is like an English person asking a foreigner for directions. Far too often when I visit web hosting sites, I feel as though they have been designed for people who already know everything about the intricate workings of the World Wide Web, and perhaps I am wasting my time even contemplating joining in on ‘their game’. Often I simply decide to put ‘that new blog’ off for another six months, and return to the relative safety net of reading other people’s work, and marveling out how simple it all looks. It’s all rather pathetic. When WebHostingBuzz became our Gold Sponsor, I set off once more on a quest of comprehension.
