I'm currently looking for a career in the metro New York city area. There's plenty of sites out there that list jobs, but how do you wade through them all? Here are some quick little tricks I've used to simplify the hunt:
- Using Google's Alerts, I can receive a digest of information on any keywords that I want. Since I'm in the technology field, having alerts such as "software new york city" keep me up-to-date with industry events and company start-ups.
- Next is Google's Notebook. This excellent plugin for Firefox 1.5 and above allows you to annotate sections of websites with your own comments and labels. It's great for organizing information about potential employers.
- Then there's Google Reader, where you can consolidate all of your sites' RSS job feeds into a single place. And on top of that, you can label and star particular jobs that you like. Check out the screenshot below.
- Finally combining all of these into iGoogle, a customizable portal, allows me a single place to read my alerts (in my Gmail), view my notebook, and read my feeds.
