When you are on the job hunt you need to work just as many hours and just as hard as if you had your dream job. We all know the job market is not optimal right now, so we need to rise above the competition. Of course, we recommend having a dynamic web resume to help you rise above the competition, but that is just the start. You need to be on the prowl at all times!

Let your friends and family know your on a job hunt. They should know what kind of job your looking for and have easy access to your resume. This is where a dynamic web resume makes things easy, just make sure your contacts have your link. Send your web resume link to them on facebook or email. This will pay huge dividends. The easier you make it for people to help you the more likely they are to help you.

“Throw it out there.” Bring up your job hunt to people during converstion you never know what might happen. About.com states, “At least 60% – some report even higher statistics – of all jobs are found by networking.” If you meet a new contact, email them the following day saying it was nice meeting them and to keep you in mind if they come across any job opportunities. Then, just add in your web resume link and your all set.
