HOW TO FIND A JOB?
Read the text:
It’s not always easy to find a job. The best way to get information about available job is to read various advertisements. You can find them in papers, magazines, and journals. Some firms and enterprises advertise over radio or TV. Nowadays Internet is a popular source of information for those looking for a job.
External advertising is a good source for attracting candidates, but for job ads to bring results, there are two issues to address: the media to be used, and the construction of the ad. The selection of the best medium – be it the local paper, a national daily or a technical journal – depends on the types of positions to be filled. The local newspaper is usually the best source of blue-collar jobs, clerical employees, and lower-level administrative employees. The advantage of this medium is that the job ads are more likely to be read by those seeking local employment, and therefore the ad should land in the right hands. The drawback of using the local press is that it tends not to be read by professional and technical people seeking vacancies.
For specialized employees, advertisements can be placed in trade and professional journals. These reach a specific population with a minimum waste and a minimum standard of applicant can be guaranteed. However, one drawback to advertising in this type of trade paper is the relatively infrequent publication which may require advertising copy six weeks before appearance of ad.
National press offers another way of targeting middle and senior management personnel. One significant advantage of using national papers is that they reach large numbers of readers. However, the major drawback to national advertising is the cost.
