Job searching in the 21st Century: It's Different Out There

new talent + 3 ways to hunt by searching, browsing & posting unlimited FREE job ads

You knew it would happen eventually. You tried to lay the groundwork, readying yourself mentally and financially. You braced yourself for change. But are you really ready to start job searching?

If you haven't looked for a new position in years, you're in for a surprise because technology and the Internet have changed the art of job hunting dramatically. And, in most ways, for the better.

Job Searching, Then and Now The last time most of us made a job or career change, we did it by scanning newspaper ads and bulletin boards or making cold calls on companies in the hopes they might have an opening.

Now, the Internet is where most career advice is sought and most job searching takes place.

Then, you might have interviewed multiple times with dozens of employers until the magical match happened. Or not!

Now, hirers and recruiters know a great deal about you and your qualifications before you even approach them, thanks to your detailed nt3 Profile. So you only interview for jobs that actually suit you. Less time wasted with better outcomes for all.

Then, online job searching meant choosing from a dizzying array of sites (there are over 140 CV & career sites in the Australia), each with its own unique template, all competing for attention. It was hard to know where to start and which service would give the best results. Plus it took hours to upload your CV onto each site.

Now, there's nt3 On-line, the job searching resource that offers one standardized CV template that's used by the leading recruiters. It means that by signing up at just one place – nt3 - your CV will automatically be in the right template, in front of the eyes that really matter, when it really matters.

Then, companies did their own hiring and it was up to you to make each one of them aware of your availability.

Now, many companies use a recruitment consultant, which means just one agency can open doors to hundreds of potential employers. Plus they often have access to jobs that haven't even been advertised yet.

So, how do you enter this new world of job searching and take advantage of all it has to offer you and your career? Let's move around to the other side of the recruitment desk for a moment.

Advice For Job Searching Today Recruitment agencies are a good place to start job searching because they have access to so many openings at so many companies. Some agencies even specialise in particular industries, like IT or finance, so the odds of them having a good position for you are even better.

But imagine the challenges those recruiters face: multiple jobs to be filled; thousands of potential candidates and CVs to sort out; the pressure of deciding who gets an interview and who doesn't. It's easy to imagine your paper CV slipping behind the filing cabinet, never to be seen again. Just as easy to imagine your emailed resume getting lost in the shuffle.

These days, the leading recruitment agencies prefer to receive CVs in the nt3 template. The nt3 Profile is being adopted by job boards and industry associations, too. So your first priority in job searching should be to create an nt3 Profile for yourself.

Why Recruiters & Employers alike Prefer www.nt3.com.au Simply put, the www.nt3.com.au Headhunting Jobsite is completely free to register & conduct searches and the nt3 Profile template drastically cuts the amount of time it takes recruiters and employers to locate your CV and then match you up with a vacancy. They also appreciate the nt3 Profile because its universal template is instantly searchable, sendable, and printable. So with more and more hirers migrating over to the nt3 system, it just makes sense for job seekers like you to go where the action is and create an nt3 profile.

About nt3 - 'let nt3 work for you'

nt3 Online PTY LTD is a new, innovative and highly motivated Australianowned and operated Headhunting Jobsite and was founded in 2006 (Online 2008) by Andrew Turnbull & Tracey Roberts.

The nt3 site allows all employers and recruitment companies to register, post unlimited job ads and browse & search jobseeker profiles for free! Reducing the costs associated with continuous need to find fresh talent by a staggering amount…

Employers or Recruiters can then shortlist five jobseekers for a number of roles on a "Self Serve" basis, with nt3 charging $150 + GST for the contact details of the entire shortlist (All 5). For roles above $80K (Exec) the charge is $350 + GST (For all 5). As long as they fill their shortlist, employers or recruiters can choose 5 people from very different industry sectors and are not restricted by industry types, job types or locations.

Employers could send free messages to job seekers before shortlisting them, to make sure they were available, CEO Andrew Turnbull & Director Tracey Roberts said. This cuts down wasted time in approaching Job seekers and ensures Employers only pay to release the details of "Active & Available" candidates!

Turnbull said the model was designed to overcome some of the resistance that clients of the major job boards had about paying upfront for job ads or access services with no guarantees of a result.

Also the freedom in having completely free access to an online database is amazing, not to mention "Unlimited free Job postings" and getting to handpick only the Job Seekers that look relevant for the job vacancy is ingenious! There are no Joining costs or ongoing access fees to join www.nt3.com.au.

Recruiters or Employers can add unlimited users to their Employer Account giving their whole recruitment team access to the system to post their own Job Ads and conduct their own searches, attached to their one single Employer account for easy management.

Our vision is to build Australia & New Zealand's largest online Job Seeker database and allow Employers & Recruiters free access in the hope of finding the right Job Seekers for their vacancies at a fraction of the current market rates!

What does this mean for our Registered Job Seekers?

This way, you give the jobs a chance to find you - a nice change from pounding the pavement. And more than one job might come calling!. Once you know what a given employer wants, you can tailor your nt3 Profile to showcase the skills and experience best suited for that particular position or positions.

Plus you can target which companies are able to access your online nt3 Profile, further refining your job search. No ordinary CV has that kind of flexibility. No other CV has garnered so much support among employers, agencies and job seekers alike.

Yes, job searching in the 21st century is certainly different - and so much better. Enjoy the ride.
