There are 7 Parts Of A Newspaper To Look For Jobs, besides the Want Ads, are you using all of them? Have you ever spent an hour or so reading through the Want Ads for a job, only to find that there aren't any good jobs posted?
Well, that's because you limited yourself to reading the Want Ads only, let's take a look at where else in the paper you can find Job openings:
* Obituaries - while this may seem a bit awkward remember you're trying to care for your family so keep in mind that most 20 - 50 year olds have a job and now there may be an opening due to their recent unfortunate event.
* Press Releases - many companies send Press Releases detailing Promotions, Advancements, and Changes etc. Change is good, that means opportunities.
* Financials - this is also a great place to find info, regarding Loans for Expansion, Mergers etc. again this means opportunities.
* Featured Companies - many papers have an article of the business section where they feature a company. They NEVER feature a financially troubled company, these features try to be upbeat and show the companies successes.
* Organizational Events - here you will find info on meetings and events where you can Network to find opportunities.
* Bankruptcy Notices - here take notice of companies in trouble, if you look back to the Financial Section look to see if the troubled company has received any Financial Assistance.
* Sales Ads - look for buildings for Sale, call the owner, and politely ask if he has had any inquiries from companies looking to move into the area.
