How to: Find a job now

Identify local employers

Identify local employers to target for networking and job leads.

Get started at the Business Finder

One great way to expand your job search is to research companies in your local area that typically hire people in your field of interest. Then you can contact them to ask about work opportunities, even though they haven’t posted a job opening. The advantage of this method is you may be the only person reaching out to them, and if they have hiring needs, you’ll have far less competition than when applying to job postings.

The Business Finder lets you search for local employers by keyword, occupation, or industry.

To do: Use the Business Finder to find local employers that typically hire people in your field. Keep track of the names of at least 3-4 businesses so you can contact them for netoworking or to ask about jobs.
