Look For an IT Job
InsideTech’s Job Search tab is a great place to start looking for IT jobs. You’ll find thousands of job postings there from Monster’s database of jobs, along with reviews of amny popular employers submitted by InsideTech members, and an easy way to network with fellow IT workers in your area.
But don’t stop there. As you embark on your job search, you should remember to follow these tips:
- Check employer sites directly
If you know which companies you’d like to work for, check their sites for job postings. In the IT industry, employers are much more likely to have their own job listings on their site, and that type of post often contains details that you won’t find in a job board posting.
- Network with friends and acquaintances
Any hiring manager of HR professional will tell you that the best candidates they get for jobs are almost always referrals from current employees. That makes sense: Successful employees are likely to be friends with people who share many of the qualities that made them a good hire.
You might be doing your friend a favor, too: Many employers offer referral bonuses to employees who direct them to candidates that are eventually hired.
- Be proactive in your job search
As Matthew Moran points out in his guide to Finding the Perfect IT Job, looking for work is work. Treat it as such. Block out time during your day that you’ll devote to job searching, following up on resumes you’ve sent out, etc. Track any contacts you’ve made at a company, and have a plan when you call to follow-up.
Moran’s guide goes into much more detail, so be sure to give it a look as you embark on your job search.

Set up your resume as a website, with various pages for various catagories, then burn it to CD's to send out to prospective employers.
My guess is this would be a real attention getter, and noone you send it to will forget you.

This is all good and well, but after you have the degrees in hand and the certifications - how then are you supposed to prove to the perspective company you are capable if they are not willing to give you a chance? Simple..don't depend on companies like Monster.com and Career builder.com to do your hunting, why waste money when you can freelance? Get your name out and get noticed - the real companies want to see what you can do, how you operate and your overall temperament. You went to school, you got the degrees now kick the walls of defiance and find that job!
