Job searching has changed just as much as technology has. Back in the old days if you were put back into the job market, you waited for the daily paper to come along to see what job openings were available. In today’s modern technology focused world, technology assists with finding a job by providing the most up to date job openings that change by the second.

This technological development has assisted in unemployment rates because waiting for the daily paper could leave you out of work for weeks before even finding the opportunity for an interview.

The latest development of online job sites makes finding a job quick and simple.

From Want Ads To Online Job Boards

The first development from paper to electronic consists of online job boards such as Indeed, Careerbuilder, and Monster. These online job boards posted job openings similar to the want ads, the only difference is they allow you to apply for the job on the spot without having to drive directly to the location.

For some people, they still prefer to use job boards. Job boards may still be the best job websites to use, especially if you have great resume writing skills.

Social Talent Communities

Social talent communities have made it simple to find jobs based on your skills rather than your experience. Some businesses would prefer someone who is skilled compared to how long they have worked I a specific industry. To some this may not make much sense, but if you evaluate the new courses offered to colleges that offer hands on experiences, skills may take precedent over experience in specific job markets.
