Job Hunting: let your fingers do the walking

Less and less of us let our fingers do the walking through paper pages any more. It's all online. But ye olde yellow pages still have their uses in job search.

Here is one.

At the front of your yellow pages is an index. It lists all the categories that appear later on in the book.

By scanning down the index you may come up with some category names that are a fit for your job search, that you hadn't previous considered. The reason is that there are so many ways to word various types of businesses, that you may not think of them all.

Reading the index in the yellow pages can show you the ones you've missed.

Of course, what you then do is go to these sections and go down through all the listings and contact each and every company that seems at all likely to hire people with your skills.

This way of job searching has a very high success rate.

Working from home can be a full time, or a part time alternative to a "job."
