Other Creative Methods for Job Searching
Many times companies will post jobs to their web sites only and not to any other
job boards. Here is a method for finding those jobs.
ZoomInfo - This is a site typically used by recruiters to find people and sales people to
find business leads. However, it does not cost money to find many types of information. Try this:
- Click Zoominfo.com.
- Click the Find Companies tab
- Click the Advanced Search link
- In the Keyword box type "software"
- In the Geography section check US Zip Code and type "27513
- In Company Size section, in Annual Revenues box, under Min, select $1Billion.
- Leave the rest blank
- Click Find Companies
- You will see a list of 118 companies
This list could be useful if you're looking for a position with in a software company.
You will find additional information about these companies, including links to their web sites. Go to the web sites
and look for links entitled "careers," "jobs" or "employment." These are where their jobs are, obviously. If a
company looks interesting, but may not have a job that is a match for you (or even if it does), add it to a spread sheet and
check it periodically.
