Career Strategies

First let me say that I am happy to hear that my Blog is one of the best sources of tips for job hunters. I think it is because I give insider tips not part of the common loop thinking. So with that said lets talk about magazines. A good friend of mine just secured a great job out in LA. When she mentioned the computer startup company's name it rang a bell. Well, it turns out that a couple of months earlier I picked up a new computer magazine which had actually listed the company's name. That's when it hit me. Magazines baby! I then started collecting all these magazines from different fields. Turns out many magazines actively promote companies. Whether they have been in business for years or new startups, they are a great source for job hunters. They even include in depth background information on these companies along with important contact names. And there are literally hundreds out magazines out there! That's source material for ya! Just because they are not listed on the job boards doesn't mean that they are not hiring. It's called a preemptive strike! So next time you are at the newsstand pick up a copy of the Hollywood Reporter, Business Weekly, Filmmaker Magazine, Forbes and etc. They are great for leads and practically no one is taking advantage of them! Happy hunting!
