Today I attended the Anti-Monster Job Search Webinar by John Mccrudden. It was a very well presented and informative webinar and John Mccrudden himself was very accessible during the entire presentation. This is the first time I have participated in a webinar and very satisfied with the technology. It is easy to access, and the ease of communication over the phone allowed me to ask questions and participate in discussion as if I were physically in the room.
The material consisted of sensible job searching and networking techniques that perhaps eludes the common sense in many of us. There was a discussion on the fallacy of depending on Monster.com for job searching, which is actually a fairly exploitative job search tool, with very few jobs compared to the entire job market and many more viewers than there are positions listed. Instead of Monster, Mr. Mccrudden advises on using websites such as the US Department of Labor, NAICS, and Hoovers to research industries and jobs of interest to develop of list of employers that we would otherwise never know about. Mr. Mccrudden also breifly covered some topics on Dynamic Networking which I believe is an invaluable skill that every graduate should have. I highly recommend this webinar.
