Some use job websites and others use targeted ads on Google and Facebook.</p> <p>I was surprised and delighted this week when opening one of my favorite stress-relieving, time-killing apps, Zombie Gunship, to discover Limbic Software is hiring software engineers. They placed the ad on the main menu, ensuring any software developers who love the app will be certain to see it. Tapping the the ad brings you to the <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.limbic.com/jobs.html">job description</a> on the Limbic website.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/10/08/hiring-from-an-app.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/10/08/hiring-from-an-app.htm Mon, 08 Oct 2012 10:53:57 +0000 2012-10-08T10:53:57Z http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/09/30/using-facebook-give-me-your-password.htm <p>In recent articles, we've been discussing the role of <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/yourjobsearch/a/Social-Media-Branding-And-Your-Career.htm">online branding and social media</a> in the hiring process, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/techindustrybasics/a/Career-Branding-Nameplate-Websites.htm">nameplate services that aggregate your online presence</a>, and using <a ...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/09/30/using-facebook-give-me-your-password.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/09/30/using-facebook-give-me-your-password.htm Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:28:23 +0000 2012-09-30T16:28:23Z http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/09/27/online-branding-the-ugly-the-bad-and-the-good.htm <img class="alignnone" src="http://0.tqn.com/h/jobsearchtech/1/3/G/0/-/-/top-tweets-getty.jpg" alt="top tweets" /> <p>As a writer, and as someone who has changed careers more times than I can count, I've always been irked by the whole idea of personal branding. I've always felt a better word for it was typecasting. Ask William Shatner what personal branding did to his career after Star Trek first went off the air. Or Christopher Reeve in the first years following Superman.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/09/27/online-branding-the-ugly-the-bad-and-the-good.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/09/27/online-branding-the-ugly-the-bad-and-the-good.htm Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:42:23 +0000 2012-09-27T20:42:23Z http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/08/31/looking-for-work-how-can-i-help.htm <p>I've been receiving quite a few letters from people who are looking for work. Some are short and concise. Others are practically biographies. Others have a resume attached in case I happen to know someone who might be looking for someone. Some letters are hopeful.

When you decide on a new job you've immediately tied your financial future to your new employer. You've decided where you will live for about half of your waking hours every work day. You've decided who you will talk to each day, who you'll probably eat lunch with every day, who your new working friends will be -- the people who will probably see more of you than your own spouse, children or pets. </p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/08/26/path-to-eharmony-for-it-jobs.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://jobsearchtech.about.com/b/2012/08/26/path-to-eharmony-for-it-jobs.htm Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:57:14 +0000 2012-08-26T15:57:14Z
