Question: What is the best way to find a job by posting your resume online?
Answer: Posting your resume is only part of the equation. Of course you need to post your resume on the major job boards, but you should also post it on niche job boards focusing on your industry / type of job. Employers are using niche job boards more and more, largely because they tend to yield a smaller (more manageable) number of better-qualified candidates.
Refresh or re-post your resume regularly. When recruiters and hiring managers search for resumes, the ones most recently posted are usually at the top of the list. By re-posting regularly, your resume will come up near the top more often.
Also make sure that your resume has the terms that recruiters will be searching for. A keyword-rich resume will come up more often in searches, so you’ll get noticed more. Look at job descriptions to find the right keywords to use.
For each job site you use, set up an agent or alert so that job postings fitting the keywords you choose are automatically emailed to you. This will save you a lot of time since you won’t have to wade through as many irrelevant job postings.
If you find that you’re getting too many job postings that aren’t what you’re looking for, or not enough, adjust the keywords you’re using.
Use search engines to find the niche job sites as well as the relevant sections of larger job boards. For example, a quick search for “dialysis technician jobs” yielded the following sites, among others:
http://www.medhunters.com http://www.healthcareernet.com/AlliedHealth/Jobs/Dialysis_Technician/
http://www.medicalworkers.com/employment/hemodialysis-technician-jobs.aspx
Taking this a step further, use more specific keywords to find exactly what you’re looking for. A quick search for “dialysis technician jobs new york” came up with this and this.
This should give you an idea of what you can find. Try different keywords and more specific keywords to narrow it down further.
Also search for all the companies that would likely have employees in your target position, and for recruiters specializing in the your industry. To continue the example of a dialysis technician’s job search, hospitals, clinics, doctor offices, etc. will be easy to find. Medical research facilities, medical equipment makers and distributors will also be worth looking into.
Leverage LinkedIn and other social networking sites to find specific people, then reach out to them. Ask for their help - explain your situation, what type of position(s) you are looking for, and see if they know of openings within their companies, or if they know of opportunities at other companies.
Be proactive with your job search. Don’t expect the hiring world to beat a path to your door just because you’ve posted your resume online. You may get some calls from posting your resume, but you’ll get better results, faster, by taking the initiative to contact people in your industry.
Find professional associations related to your field - this is a great way to meet others in your industry. Attend networking events that attract people in your field. Print up (or order) some personal business cards so you’ll have something to give people that you meet. And don’t stop networking when you find a job - many people make this mistake.
Utilize the career services department in your school. Their job is to help graduates find jobs.
Use your local Department of Labor to find job postings and apply for them. The Department of Labor does a lot more than just process unemployment claims. They can be a valuable resource for your job search.

Corporate finance is an area of finance dealing with the financial decisions corporations make and the tools and analysis used to make these decisions. The primary goal of corporate finance is to maximize corporate value while reducing the firm’s financial risks. Although it is in principle different from managerial finance which studies the financial decisions of all firms, rather than corporations alone, the main concepts in the study of corporate finance are applicable to the financial problems of all kinds of firms.
The discipline can be divided into long-term and short-term decisions and techniques. Capital investment decisions are long-term choices about which projects receive investment, whether to finance that investment with equity or debt, and when or whether to pay dividends to shareholders. On the other hand, the short term decisions can be grouped under the heading “Working capital management”. This subject deals with the short-term balance of current assets and current liabilities; the focus here is on managing cash, inventories, and short-term borrowing and lending (such as the terms on credit extended to customers).
The terms Corporate finance and Corporate financier are also associated with investment banking. The typical role of an investment banker is to evaluate investment projects for a bank to make investment decisions.
