Join
the STC. Research shows that only 10 - 15% of jobs are found through
advertisements. Your best resource for finding a career you will enjoy
is through networking. Maintaining your membership in the STC, attending
Chapter meetings, and volunteering your services are all excellent ways
to land that perfect job.
Read local newspapers. After scouring the
classified advertisements, read the business section of The Huntsville
Times. Target companies in the news that are doing well and presenting a
positive image. Send a résumé even if no job openings are listed. Many
companies go to the résumés and applications currently on file to fill
positions that are never advertised: make sure they have yours.
Explore
company web sites. Many companies maintain a job listing page. Find
local companies on the Web from the Chamber of Commerce listings.
