			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2011/05/joblaunch-screenshot-small.png" alt="joblaunch" title="joblaunch-screenshot-small" width="200" height="175" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-33719" />Most of you who read this site have plenty of technical skill, but it might not be put to good use.  Perhaps you&#8217;re one of many victims of the current economy, or maybe you&#8217;re just stuck working for an MBA who can&#8217;t tell a website from a wristwatch.  If you&#8217;re jobless, or just looking for something better, we&#8217;ve put together a <a href="http://jobs.maketecheasier.com/">new place</a> for you to find and post IT jobs &#8211; free and no registration required!  There are categories for almost any type of IT related job, so browsing for something good is quick and easy.<br />
<span id="more-33717"></span><br />
Current categories include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Management</li>
<li>Writing</li>
<li>Design</li>
<li>Development</li>
<li>Support</li>
<li>Systems Administration</li>
<li>Consulting</li>
<li>Sales</li>
</ul>
<p>We welcome full time, part time, and freelance jobs.  </p>
<p><a href="http://jobs.maketecheasier.com/">Apply now!</a></p>
<h3>For Applicants</h3>
<p>All jobs are categorized, and you can browse the categories as you see fit.  Once you&#8217;ve found something that interests you, just click <em>Apply</em> and attach your resume.  That&#8217;s it.  </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll notice that you never have to register or log in.  Each application is its independent, and we make no attempt to track users or mine information.  Apply to whatever jobs you wish, as often as you wish.  </p>
<p>RSS feeds are provided for the complete site as well as for indivudual categories.  If you only want to subscribe to, say, <em>Developer</em> jobs, no problem.  </p>
<h3>For Employers</h3>
<p>The biggest advantage for employers posting on the MakeTechEasier job board is that they have immediate access to the thousands of MakeTechEasier readers.  This reader base is comprised mainly of technically proficient people who enjoy improving their skills.  That&#8217;s exactly the type of person ideal to many IT firms.  </p>
<p>Posting a new job opening is just as easy as applying to one.  No login or registration is required, simply click the <em>Post New Job</em> button and enter your information.  </p>
<p>You may later go back to any jobs you&#8217;ve posted if you wish to edit them.  Please note however that since we do not follow a login-based design, our system can only remember which jobs you&#8217;ve posted based on browser cookies.  If you clear those cookies, you&#8217;ll need to contact us to edit your posting.  </p>
<p><a href="http://jobs.maketecheasier.com/">Post a job now!</a></p>
<h3>Spotlight</h3>
<p>While all job posts and applications are free to all users, some employers may want to get as much exposure as they can for their opening.  For this, we provide the Spotlight system.  </p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve posted a job, you&#8217;ll have the option to purchase a Spotlight for that post.  All job posts go out on the Job Board feed, but only Spotlight posts are also sent out on the main MakeTechEasier site feed.  This means that your posting will be presented to far more readers than it otherwise would be.  </p>
<p>Additionally, Spotlight posts are highlighted on the Job Board main page.  Every visitor to the site sees the Spotlight section first and most prominently when they arrive.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7813" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/10/jobapps-intro.png" alt="jobapps-intro" width="200" height="150" />Job hunting these days is a battle. With fewer jobs available in certain industries, one needs to be efficient, streamlined and spot on in their quest for employment. Below are some things I personally use or have used to keep abreast of possible opportunities. Even if you are happy in your current career or company, it is never bad to be prepared in case you find yourself in need of a job.<br />
<span id="more-7810"></span></p>
<h3>1. <a title="Google Docs" href="http://www.docs.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Docs</a></h3>
<p>Google Docs is a great place to design, store, and collaborate with other people on your resume. Your resume can be exported as a PDF, RTF or a Word document for easy viewing by your potential employer. With hundreds of easily customizable templates for both resumes and cover letters, this is a easy choice.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to keep your resume up dated. If you set a reminder in the calendar of your choice to update your resume quarterly, you will have less work if a lay off strikes. Another benefit to updating your information often is you are less likely to omit important details about your accomplishments.</p>
<h3>2. <a title="Ingboo" href="http://www.ingboo.com/" target="_blank">Ingboo</a></h3>
<p>Ingboo is a service that gives you a way to aggregate search results from a huge number of sites. In the job tab; Simply Hired, Craigslist and Hotjobs are 3 of the 11 sites from which you can be notified of newly posted job opportunities. The updates can be emailed in a daily digest, as soon as new results appear or at a selectable time of the day. Ingboo also can send updates right to your Twitter account. If none of these methods to view the results are appealing to you, going to Ingboo.com to see the results is always an option too. Ingboo is working on a Blackberry app which will help you keep up with your searches while mobile.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7814" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/10/jobapps-inboo.png" alt="jobapps-inboo" width="480" height="88" /></p>
<h3>3. <a title="RSS" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS" target="_blank">RSS</a></h3>
<p>If you are using an RSS feed reader for viewing new posts on blogs and websites, using it for your job search will be a piece of cake. If you are not using any kind of RSS feed reader, <a title="Google Reader" href="http://google.com/reader" target="_blank">Google Reader</a> and iGoogle are good options to those who have a Google/ Gmail account. If not, <a title="other services" href="http://maketecheasier.com/top-three-web-rss-readers-to-manage-your-rss-feeds/2009/06/26">other services</a> for <a id="c3ht" title="Mac" href="http://maketecheasier.com/three-free-rss-readers-for-mac-users/2009/10/16">Mac</a>, Windows and mobile devices are available.</p>
<p>The way to use RSS for a job search is simple. Create a search the same way you are accustomed to on a site like Monster.com. Instead of saving the search, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on the RSS feed button.</p>
<p>You will be prompted to choose what reader you want to use. Once subscribed, all of the new jobs will arrive in this feed within moments of being posted. Here is what a feed would look like on your iGoogle hompage.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7818" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/10/jobapp-RSS.png" alt="jobapp-RSS" width="279" height="238" /></p>
<h3>4. <a title="Google Alerts" href="http://www.google.com/alerts" target="_blank">Google Alerts</a></h3>
<p>If you are looking at a specific company&#8217;s career page, the odds of them having an RSS feed with job updates are pretty slim. In this case, you can set up a Google alert for when a page changes (if a job is added). The results can be emailed to you weekly, daily or as soon as a change happens. This is done with some advanced Google search formulas like these:</p>
<p>if you were looking for a job at Apple</p>
<p class="codeblock">(inurl:job OR inurl:jobs) site:apple.com</p>
<p>if you were looking for a job anywhere in Denver, Colorado.</p>
<p class="codeblock">(inurl:job OR inurl:jobs) denver</p>
<p class="codeblock">(inurl:career OR inurl:careers)</p>
<p>These alerts work well because most companies post job openings on a page with<em> [job]</em> or <em>[career]</em> in the URL. By adding in a <em>site:operator</em> or a location, the search is narrowed and becomes more useful to you.</p>
<h3>5. <a title="InSide Job" href="http://www.secretsofthejobhunt.com/forum/topics/new-facebook-job-hunting-app" target="_blank">InSide Job</a></h3>
<p>Usually apps on Facebook aren&#8217;t thought to be very useful in the search for a job. Granted Facebook can be a good way to network (when you aren&#8217;t distracted by Farmville or Mafia Wars); this is one application however, is making a good argument to be on Facebook.</p>
<p>Here is how their webpage describes the app:</p>
<blockquote><p>Inside Job lets you contact people who have interviewed, worked, or are currently employed at the places you want to work at next!<br />
InSide Job users can also:<br />
-Get the inside scoop on their prospective employer before the interview;<br />
-Network with people in similar fields; and<br />
-Find the right people to hire as service providers.</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7815" src="http://imagecdn.maketecheasier.com/2009/10/jobapps-insidejob.png" alt="jobapps-insidejob" width="398" height="113" /></p>
<h3>6. <a title="A Blog" href="http://mashable.com/2007/08/06/free-blog-hosts/" target="_blank">A Blog</a></h3>
<p>A personal blog is a good thing to keep up on whether you are working or not. Many free blogging platforms (WordPress.com, Blogger, Typepad&#8230;) give you an avenue to let people and potential employers get to know you. You can choose to display work accomplishments, personal stories, your thought on your industry news or anything you would like others to know about you.</p>
<p>The more positive information is on the web about you when a client or potential employer is looking you up on the web, the better. Job hunting is a full time job. You need to market yourself and control your online profile/ information in a way no other generation has before.</p>
