 Job hunting can feel like a full-time job in itself. If you're coming up empty-handed, it's time to add some new techniques to your job search. Not all jobs are advertised via traditional methods, so branching out can help you find a greater number of new job opportunities.

Newspapers and Professional Journals

Newspapers top the list of traditional job-search methods. Even though many companies post online, you can still find job ads in newspapers. If you work in a specific industry, look for journals in that field, as they may feature job ads. You may still find the ads in the print versions of these publications, but looking on the websites of the publications is usually a faster and more up-to-date way to search.
Recruitment Agencies

When choosing ways to find a job, don't overlook professional recruiters and headhunters. These professionals know the job search arena and can help you streamline your search. You get an inside track to jobs those agencies have that you might not otherwise hear about. If you're a college student or a recent graduate, check with your college to see if they offer free career placement services.

Door-to-Door Job Hunting

This traditional job-hunting technique may still work, especially with smaller companies. Essentially, you stop into businesses you want to work for to introduce yourself and see if they have any job openings. Get the names of hiring managers beforehand so you can ask for them in person. Take plenty of resumes and other relevant documents to drop off at prospective employers. You might only get rejections on the day you visit companies, but even one call-back a month later makes the effort worthwhile.

A slight variation on this method is cold calling. Instead of physically going to the location, you can place a call to companies you hope might hire you. Just like door-to-door job hunting, cold calling may end up with lots of rejection, but one yes is all you need.
Speculative Emails

Mailing letters to potential employers is an older way to look for potential openings that haven't been posted yet. Take that approach to the modern day job search with emails. Draw up a list of companies you would like to work for, and research them to find the person who should receive your email. Let him know you are interested in a position with the company, list your experience and qualifications, and tell him you look forward to talking with him soon. Follow up with a brief phone call to the hiring manager to ensure he received your email and talk more about your interest in the company.
Networking in Your Circle

Family, friends and former co-workers are valuable sources of job information and can even recommend you to their own bosses. Since you already know these people, this is one of the easiest ways to find work. Attend professional networking events, such as industry trade shows, as often as possible to expand your networking reach. Create simple business cards printed displaying your contact details, profession and key skills to hand out with your resume. Memorize a 20-second elevator pitch so you’re always ready with an engaging summary of your career highlights. Let people know you’re available and motivated, but avoid looking desperate. If someone says he’s not hiring, ask if he knows anyone who might be.Advertise YourselfGet the employers to come to you rather than the other way around. You can advertise free on some classified ad websites under "Work Wanted." Another option is to create a professional website for yourself where you can post your resume or relevant experience and other information about yourself. This can be particularly effective for creative careers, such as writing, graphic design or web development because you can create a portfolio of your work on the website.Job Search WebsitesMany employers post job openings on websites designed specifically for the purpose. Those sites also let job seekers post resumes so potential employers can find them. Be very careful about putting your personal details into a public domain and follow instructions on privacy settings carefully. One option is to use a dedicated e-mail address so your personal contact details remain private. Be sure to take your resume and profile down as soon as you get a job or you will send the wrong signal to your new employer.
