At MyJobHunt Blog, we know how important
it is to have good online ‘Search’ skills, especially if you’re searching for
either your dream job, or just a “stepping stone” job. So, if you’re aiming to
stay here in Greater Tampa Bay, or in central Florida, what good it is to get a Search Results
page of job openings in Nome, Alaska?
So here are some MyJobHunt Blog Quick
Tips for localizing your Tampa-Area online job search.
Be One With Google—If you haven’t read
Google’s How to Use Google to Find a Job,
do so today. It’s a great way to find jobs here in the Tampa Bay Area, and
remember; almost every job search site is indexed by Google. Thousands of them!
Refine Your Indeed Search—If you haven’t done
so already, check out Indeed, a great job
search engine that pulls job listings from major job boards and corporate
careers sites. Indeed also allows you to refine your online search.
Target Tampa Bay Companies—While Google Maps is working to create a directory of all
local-specific area businesses, it isn’t nearly as refined yet as the Google
web search. So use this query and type in
your exact Tampa Bay Area desired location to find a list of businesses that
Google has already identified.
Craigslist—While it may seem a
bit strange job hunting at a site where some people find dates, employers are
having notable success there. You can subscribe to the Craigslist RSS feed (don’t know what that means?
Then read this article on RSS for job search) for
the Tampa Bay Area, and then sit back and wait to find opportunities that
interest you.
Job Information, Delivered Daily—Hey, Google can
track employers and opportunities for you, as well as develop a list of
potential Tampa Bay Area employers for whom you’d like to work. Sign up for
free Google Alerts (google.com/alerts) for
jobs posted on specific organizations' Websites, or when related news about the
employer is picked up by Google. Have the alerts sent to your personal e-mail
address! Click to see Using Google Alerts
article for tips and detailed information.
