Just Spreading It Around...

Jobs In Credit is advertising four senior credit positions working for Shop Direct based at Liverpool.

Salaries are between £37K and £80K - so they look almost too good to be true (or failing which they want you to live on site!) - but they are for SENIOR Credit Management positions. You can contact brett.marlow@jobsincredit.com to find out more about them for yourself.

You can also find Brett Marlow on LinkedIn - where I found the jobs advertised on the World Credit Management & Risk Forum Group site.

Look at TwitterJobDeck!

If you haven't seen this - you need to.

TwitterJobSearch indexes Tweets that are jobs and screens out the rest - thus providing jobseekers with the tools that are necesssary to find meaningful, relevant job opportunities.

Now TweetDeck and TwitterJobSearch have teamed up to provide a dedicated Twitter JobDeck . It's designed to make it easier to look for jobs - and to stay in touch with what's happening and connect you with your contacts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social and professional networking sites.

There's an awful lot out there about how to use the internet to find a job. You can find more information in the various blogs on Secrets of the Job Hunt or on Interview Angel or in a hundred and one other places.

The most important thing is to embrace the technology, and learn to use it. A lot of jobs now get filled through networking. Obviously, you still need a CV - and it still needs to be the best you can make it - and you still need to polish your interview techniques. But you also need to look further than agencies, newspapers and Job Centres and work on your website, your on-line profile - and learn to network.

Network, Network and Join The Groups

I'm getting more and more interested in what internet Groups and sites like Twitter have to offer to people who are looking for a job.

Three of us contribute to this blog. We all belong to various professional networking sites, and we've all joined Groups on those sites - so we get a lot of mail from the various professional networking sites and the Groups we've subscribed to over a period.

During the course of this week alone, we've seen jobs advertised by credit groups, wine groups, sales groups, and on Twitter. Most of them, I have to say, came via LinkedIn - but some of them came in on Naymz or Xing . I think we focused on the one came in on Twitter so you probably know all about that one.

The point is - if you don't join professional networking sites and work hard at making them work for you, then you won't hear about the jobs that are on offer.

One Group we know of on LinkedIn sends a very good message: "I will encourage you to use the Discussions, News and Job Panels as they are constantly updated by our members . Be active and you will benefit from everybody in the group." No surprise that that Group has almost 10,000 members.

It doesn't matter what you do, or how far up the ladder you are with what you do. Joining professional networking sites, and looking for Groups that suit you, can only help you get where you want to go.
