MILWAUKEE -- While most people spend the Fourth of July thinking about things other than work, one online employment site sees more job seekers immediately following the holiday.
"Typically there are higher numbers of job seekers who come to our site on Monday mornings," says Jobing.com spokesperson Joe Cockrell. "People who are not satisfied with their current position return to work after a couple of days off and decide maybe it's time to look for something different."
Cockrell said there are a host of resources for job searching online, including email job notification agents.
Many job boards will give the option of conducting a search on a regular basis and having the results of those agents emailed to you.
Cockrell also recommends only applying to jobs that you are truly qualified for or interested in, and resist the temptation to seek out jobs that aren't a very good fit.
Applying to jobs indiscriminately sends a poor message about the focus of your search and the quality of your candidacy, Cockrell said.
Finally, research the companies to which you're applying and tailor your resumes and cover letters to fit them and the position you want.
Read the job description carefully, visit the company website and read the company profile.
Research pays off, Cockrell said.
Jobing.com recently acquired Milwaukee-based Local Careers and its flagship domain WisconsinJobs.com.
