Employment Classifieds Where to Look

By Alex Wu

You want to find a job, or you need an employee, the best way to find what you are looking for is in the employment classified ads. You can place ads in the local paper, or look through the ads if you are looking for work.

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 are a spouse of someone that just received a job promotion, but it is in another state or city, you can look online to find a job in that area. If you are an employer that wants to widen your employee field or you can use employees working at home from any state this is a great option for you.

You as an employee looking for a job, you can look at classified ads on places such as Monster.com. You will need a resume, as you have to meet the qualifications hat are listed for the specific job offers. Know what salary rate you are looking for, as some will list wages and benefits. Send in your resume to those jobs that you are interested in. Be clear on your qualifications for that job, and put something in the resume that will catch the eye. What sets you apart from the rest of the people applying for the job? State that in your resume.

As the person placing the employment classified ad, you have so many places you can place these ads in today's market with the Internet leading the way. You can attract people from different states if you would like. The cost varies to place the ad, but you can find some free venues. Either way your field of hiring is much larger when you use this route.

As an employer when you place your employment classified ad, be sure to list the qualifications, and it is also a good idea to put a salary range and benefits. This is often what employees are looking for when they come to look for work and send in their resume. The salary range can be based on experience and qualifications. This way you can weed out the people that would normally apply if they are not qualified or do not have the years of experience that you want.

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.

Some places will guarantee work for you as an employee at jobs offering 100,000 dollars a year. You must realize that most of the jobs require much experience, and degrees or certifications. You also have no idea how long this might take, or if the job will be a good match for you. Be wary of these websites, read the terms of service before you sign an agreement and give out a credit card number. The free sites will offer you good options.
