​Is your job search off to a slow start or getting stuck? Here are some time-saving job search tips that will help your hunt for a new job go better
Get equipped . Have a voice mail machine if you give your house number or put your cell phone number on your resume so you can follow up anytime. Consider getting a separate email account to use for your job search, so you can have the job mails altogether.
​

Prepare the battlefield. Always have an up-to-date resume, ready to send even if you are not currently looking for work. You never know when an opportunity that is too good to pass up might come along. If you're not on LinkedIn yet, create a LinkedIn Profile and start making connections who can help you job search.
​
Prepare Your Own C.V.Templates. Have copies of your resume and cover letter ready to be edited. By doing this you can change the content to match the requirements of the job you're applying for.

Add related keywords to Everything.Once you've developed your Website -- even if it is not perfect or if you have not added all the content you want to add -- start  to list it on anything that also has your name, such as a signature file for your email, on your resume and networking cards.
​
Submit Your Site to Search Engines.A very helpful step is submitting your site to the major search engines and directories. This will spread your name almost everywhere
Become an author.After you create a Linkedin profile it's good  to write and publish your work on the platform. Share your perspective about what’s going on in your field, weigh in on a recent industry development, or show off your skills as a writer. It’s a great way to get noticed.

Connect your blog with Linkedin. If you have a WordPress blog, it's highly recommended feeding your blog into your LinkedIn profile. To enable this setting, Select More in the main nav bar and Select Applications. From there, choose the WordPress application and enter the link to your feed.

Be found by mail.Don’t forget to add your email address to the contact information section of your resume. You’d be surprised how many people leave this off!
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
