Searching for a job sure can be overwhelming. While there may be thousands upon thousands of job listings, only a few may be applicable for you and your work experience. So if your eyes glaze over when you land on a job board, you’re not the only one. But there are ways to make your job search more strategic and effective.

2. Pay close attention to the dates jobs are posted, and check to see if the job
boards you are using clear out old or expired job listing. If you’re not among
the top 50-100 first applicants, it might not even be worth applying.

3. Most job boards offer functionality to alert you when jobs of interest are posted.
Set up job alerts for any and every board you may be on, and be sure to set them
up to alert you as soon as the job is posted.

4. Rather than using the biggest job boards to find the largest number of open
jobs, it makes sense to pay attention to small niche job sites, too.

5. You’ll need to get super specific when you are job hunting. Enter as much info as
possible about the job that you would like to find into the fields to get the results
that you really want.

6. Some job seekers shy away from sponsored job listings, but these postings can be
a job seeker’s best friend. After all, employers have paid to have their listings
strategically placed, so it’s worth the effort to apply.

7. The AMCAT is India’s first employability assessment test that help fresh graduates
to get their first job quickly and efficiently.
