Internet job boards and resume posting sites have become a method of choice for both job seekers and employers. Thingamajob.com is one of the leading free career placement sites focusing on the placement of highly trained technology, scientific, engineering and other professional job seekers as well as laborers, office and clerical workers, and entry level applicants.
Thingamajob.com offers different tools designed to accomplish its goal of helping you find a great new job. So let's talk about setting up your account and adding an online resume, then take a quick look at how you'll use your new account.
Job Search is the meat and potatoes of Thingamajob.com; it allows you to browse current job postings by industry and, if you choose, either narrow them down by adding additional criteria such as location and posting date or search all jobs within your selection of keywords. It isn't required that you have a Thingamajob.com account to use the Job Search feature, but if you don't have an account you'll miss out on the best feature- the ability to apply online immediately to any position you like.
You can establish and maintain a free Thingamajob.com account, letting you apply directly to specific positions you see posted, allowing you to submit (and even build) a resume online, and giving you access to the powerful Job Alerts feature that does much of the job hunting work for you! Hit the Create Account link the first time you enter the site and fill out the short Create Account form. While only the red fields are required, it's a good idea to complete as many fields as possible to help the Thingamajob.com recruiters find you and match your skills with potential job opportunities. Return to this area to update your account information at any time.
Post a Resume allows you to build a resume or paste an existing resume into your account. Not only will your online resume be automatically forwarded to Thingamajob.com recruiters when you apply for specific job postings, but it will also be added to a resume database so that you may be contacted about future career opportunities, based specifically on the experience described in your resume.
Need Help is where to turn for more detailed guidance. An online help form and even an online chat service is provided for you.
