Making the most of Employment Classifieds

By Alex Wu

Today's economy is taking its toll on everyone, especially the common worker. More and more people are getting laid off each and every day and times are getting tougher and tougher. We are all trying to find work and not sure exactly how. Employment classified ads are a great way to start.

Usually when you talk about employment classified ads, you get a look that basically says people are not interested in even starting because everyone has access and we are all rushing for the couple of positions that are available. The trick is to work the system in your favor and take advantage of all the different aspects of these employment classified ads.

First, we have the print media. Newspapers, magazines and other publications all have classifieds featuring employment ads. The key to being successful with these is checking them every time they come out. Everyone does know about the huge help wanted section in the Sunday paper, but how many people are checking the mid week edition and also checking the smaller employment classifieds that appear each and every day. How about the local businesses that advertises in the community paper? They can't afford to put an ad in the Sunday paper so they put it in the weekly that is only distributed in your neighborhood. The more you check, the more likely you are to find something.

Now you are going to do the same thing on the internet. If you do a search for employment classifieds, you are going to see hundreds of thousands of sites that offer employment classified listings. Most industries will have their own classified sections so you can start there and then expand out as you get used to how to do the searches. You will have to sift through all kinds of junk of these sites to find the legitimate jobs, but they are definitely in there among the scam artists.

There is another type of employment classified that people don't usually put into this category, job boards. How can you not classify a site that is nothing but one big help wanted ad as an employment classified ad? You can't and you need to dive right into them. This niche of classifieds is the most organized and easy to use. You will have all the information you need at your fingertips in a snap!

You are also going to want to check the employment classifieds on the social network pages. It may seem like an unlikely place to go but they too have added sections for people looking for jobs and a little exploration might just land you a position.

Now here comes the secret weapon. You don't have to just look. Each and every one of these outlets (except for print publications) will allow you to also post for FREE! You read it right, for FREE. Whether you provide a service or are just looking for part time work, take advantage of this and post on every classified site you can find. Start a blog and put your resume on it and then post the link on the classified ads.

When you get to the job employment classifieds (the job search boards like Monster), you can post your resume right there for perspective employers to see. You can also set your profile to send you daily, weekly or monthly alerts with new postings. Now this is putting employment classifieds to work for you!
