Bay Area Jobs: Matching Employers and Employees

By Alex Wu

The Bay Area is a beautiful place to live and there are plenty of employment opportunities as well. You can look in the local paper employment classifieds, or you can broaden your search by going online and searching employment websites, and there are some devoted to the Bay Area only. This is a good place to start your search. You can broaden to other websites if you cannot find what you are looking for locally.

If you live in the Bay Area, you need to look at the online websites so that you can post your resume. Employers do go online to look for employees rather than posting an advertisement in the paper. Make sure you have everything that you are experienced at in your resume, and include the years of experience. Make sure to include any degrees you may have even if they do not pertain to this job, it shows a passion for learning, and dedication. Make your resume stand out from the rest by putting anything you are extremely good at and how you can benefit an employer.

The health field, sales and marketing, and technology fields are quite popular employment categories in the Bay Area. If you have any of these skills and qualifications you should look for the jobs that are offered in these fields, and find a match for you.

There is plenty of Bay Area jobs offered. There is sure to be something for you. If you live out of state and will be moving to the Bay Area, start your search online. Post your resume to as many of the online services as possible.

As an employer you have a wide range of areas that you can post an employment ad to on the Internet. You can also search through Resumes that are posted by people looking to work in your field. You may find a great match there.

An employer should post all of the requirements, a short job description, and years experience needed to get hired for the job. People who do not meet your requirements will not apply and that will help you to not have as many applications to go through. You should post the wage range and whether you offer benefits or not, this may help you to gain better employees.

As a person looking for work, you have to make sure that all of your degrees and certificates are listed in your resume and your experience in years at a certain career. Set yourself a part from other job seekers by pointing out what you can do for their company. What can you offer them that nobody else can, or what are your strong points that will be good for their job opening. Sell yourself.

Employers, there are many people in need of jobs in this new economy crunch. Be sure to place what your job entails and degrees or certifications if any, and years experience required that will help to limit your job applicants to just those that have the requirements that you are looking for. Employers do not often like to include salary and benefit information. It is a good idea to post a salary range, and that benefits are offered to capture the eye of the most qualified. - 15634
