Employment Classifieds Where to Look

By Alex Wu

If you are looking for a job, the employment classified ads are where you are likely looking. This is where you will find the most updated job listings. Classified ads are usually posted under the headings of the type of job such as medical, industrial, manufacturing, and sales, just to name a few headings.

There are the local paper classifieds that one can go through to find a job. There is also a place where people looking for a job may post an ad. As an employee your job will probably not get much exposure in the local paper. As an employer you will get a lot of applications, and many will be from unqualified employees.

If you will be moving to another state, you can also access their employment classifieds online. This is great if you have a spouse that got a job transfer or promotion, and you need to find something for yourself.

There are many websites, and they offer different services and different prices for both employer and employee to place an ad or post a resume. This may be cheaper than what you pay for a newspaper ad. It will reach a larger audience because so many professionals are using the Internet these days to find employment.

As an employee if you will be moving to another state, you can search their employment classifieds online, and possibly have a job lined up for when you arrive. You can at least find out what the job offering are in that state and city. This is very helpful, because you used to have to send away for the classifieds and once you got them they were often outdated. Online employment classifieds are kept up to date, so you know you are applying for a current job opening and sending your resume for a purpose.

As an employer you can easily find a match for your job by looking through posted resumes and also by posting a targeted ad for a person with specific qualifications and experience. You should include a salary range and benefits if there are any, this will help to bring more qualified people to apply for your position. Prospective employees like to know what the salary and benefit package is before they send in a resume.

The cost of placing an ad on these employment websites vary from free to a fee. You can make the choice that is best for you. The fee for placing an ad may be cheaper than what your local paper costs to place an employment classified ad, and it reaches a wider audience.

This is one of the best ways to match employers to qualified employees. These websites are matchmakers for the employment field, and they do a good job of it. It is a very effective way to find a qualified employee, or find a good job that meets your needs.
