Receive FREE E-Mail Job Notices by Nancy Heimbaugh The following free advice and JobMatch services are brought to you by E.span, the company that pioneered online employment services in 1991. E.span continues to develop innovations to help job seekers find employment and further their careers. If you think of agents as high-powered representatives who negotiate jobs for superstars and professional athletes, think again. In online lingo, Job Agents are high-tech search engines that seek out positions for you. They alert you to job opportunities that fit your criteria. Why do you need an agent? Of course, you can search yourself. But that’s time-consuming. Couldn’t you use your time more productively by responding to ads rather than by looking for them? With a job search agent, you don't have to browse countless ads or worry about overlooking the ideal position! How do you find an agent? Several online employment services offer them. Look at the service’s Home page for titles like Job Match, Personal Search Agent, or Job Search Service. Then just follow the instructions to complete the profile and register. You can use one of the popular Web search engines to search for job agents: www.lycos.com www.infoseek.com www.excite.com altavista.digital.com There are other sites you may want to explore for links to or information about job agents: Technical Job Searching - The Mining Co. Search.Jobagent.com Web.wt.net/~photon/employ.htm How do you put your agent to work? There are variations among the services, but most operate on the following principle: Online and right on the site, you select a username and password, and complete a profile. Almost all Job Agents require you to specify the type of position, the location, and the e-mail address where you want to receive information on jobs that match your criteria. Other information frequently requested includes the managerial level, educational level, keywords, and salary range. You simply complete the profile and register; then the search engine automatically searches the jobs database for you and notifies you periodically, usually via e-mail, about appropriate opportunities. Warning: Some Job Agents charge for their services. Review all information carefully before registering. Can you use more than one agent? Of course. Looking for a job is a little like mining for gold --- the more agents you have digging in, the better chance you have of hitting the job jackpot. In addition, most Job Agents search a specific job database. The more sites you sift through, the better your chance of striking it rich.

Keep a good record of ads you answer. Different Job Agents may unearth the same job. You don’t want to send multiple responses for one position, which could make you appear disorganized --- not a popular trait with employers.

A Job Agent worked for Joe. Joe had a good sales job in South Carolina, but he wanted to relocate to the Midwest to be near his family. He bought newspapers from metropolitan areas in the Midwest and answered ads, but found that jobs were filled by the time his resume was received. Joe began searching the Net, and registered with two job search agents. Within 72 hours, Joe had seven interviews scheduled. He’s now living in the Midwest and working in a position he found using a Job Agent. Joe says, "I think timing is everything in landing a job. The job I took was one that had been posted the day before I responded. Job Agents search for you when you don’t have time to!"
