F 1 ATS Jump-Start Your Job Search (NAPSA)—If “find a new job”is at the top of your “to do”list, you're in luck. The Web is making the job hunt easier than ever, and three key sites can give you a big advantage in your hunt for the ideal position. Where to start? Your first stop should be Simply Hired (www.simplyhired.com), a search engine that is like a Google for jobs. Simply Hired searches thousands of different sites for job listings—not just the big job boards, but also niche boards, online classifieds, and company Websites. With more than 5 million jobs in its database, Simply Hired has 10 times as many jobs as the brandnamejob boards. You can alsofilter your search results to find exactly the job you want—a parttime position with a Fortune 500 company just 10 miles from home, for example. To reach thousands of hiring managers easily, be sure to try Resume Post, a free service from Simply Hired (www.simplyhired. com/resumepost). Here, you can post your resume to multiple big job boards at once—sites like CareerBuilder, Monster and Job.com—rather than visit these sites one at a time. You'll save yourself a lot of hassle and will connect with companies actively lookingfor talent. Your next stop should be LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com), a popular business networkingsite. More than half of all jobs arestill found through personal connections, and LinkedIn helps you tap the people you know to connect with others at the companies that interest you. The Web makes it much simpler to land work you love. That ideal new job is waiting for you— go grabit!
