Everyone
advises you to post your resume on leading sites like Monster.com and
HotJobs.com. And there's nothing wrong with that — my clients have been hired
using both.

But
don't forget the growing number of job postings found on niche Web sites that
cater to specific industries, associations and other affinity groups.

This
tactic worked for one of my clients Carla S., from Marshall, Minnesota.

"I
interviewed for and got offered a great job this week after applying to
openings on sites from my industry, like www.jobsinlogistics.com
and www.careersinfood.com ,"
says Carla.

Action Step: Follow Carla's lead
and focus your search on sites that appeal to a narrow audience. As a result,
you'll likely find less competition for jobs that are closely matched to your
qualifications.

Find
niche job boards at sites like www.nicheboards.com
and by doing searches for keywords ("YOUR INDUSTRY + jobs") at search
engines like www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, www.teoma.com
and www.kartoo.com.
