How middle-aged and elderly people can apply for jobs online

For middle-aged and elderly job seekers, their ability to search for information on the Internet is not as good as that of young people. If you want to apply for a job online, choosing a good platform is the first step to success. Nowadays, there are many job search platforms on the Internet, such as talent hotline, talent navigation platform, talent information network, and talent network...it is dazzling. To roughly break it down, there are mainly the following categories: Comprehensive talent websites: such as Zhaopin Recruitment, China Talent Network... Industrial talent websites: Mechanical Talent Network, Chemical Talent Network... Local talent websites: Zhejiang Talent Network, Beijing Talent Network... There is also a category of websites that specifically serve middle-aged and elderly job seekers: China Middle-aged and Elderly Talent Network, Retired Talent Network... Comprehensive talent websites have a large amount of recruitment information, ranging from different industries to different age groups. In terms of quantity, he has an absolute advantage. At the same time, it also opens columns such as career information and job search guides to provide some opinions and suggestions for job seekers. However, because the amount of information on these websites is too large, finding a job suitable for middle-aged and elderly people has to go through layers of screening. First, position screening, and then age screening, which is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. And because graduates are the main force in job hunting, comprehensive talent websites are more biased towards young people in terms of workplace information and guides, and rarely take care of middle-aged and elderly people. Compared with other websites, industry talent websites highlight their professionalism, but they still serve people of all ages, and it still takes a lot of work to find a suitable job. Local talent websites have regional characteristics. Once you determine that you want to work in a certain place, you can consider searching on local talent websites. The last type of website specifically publishes recruitment information for middle-aged and elderly people, which saves job seekers from the process of selecting suitable recruitment information from a large amount of information. In fact, it is the most suitable for middle-aged and elderly job seekers. Online job hunting generally takes two forms. One is to register as a member on a talent website, fill in your resume, and wait for the employer to contact you. Keyword search: This is the most intuitive search method. For example, if you want to apply for a mechanical engineer, just enter mechanical engineer directly. The disadvantage of keyword search is that it is not flexible enough. For example, you want to engage in administrative work, but jobs of the same nature will have different names because employers name them from different perspectives. Office directors are in different employers, except for administrative managers. In addition to administrative director, there are other titles you can’t think of. If you search through keywords, the job information that comes out will only be with the word "administrator", and a lot of other useful information will not be found. Therefore, although keyword search is intuitive, it is not flexible enough and may miss a lot of important information. There are two principles for classifying major categories: The first is the industry you are engaged in. For example, if you are engaged in HVAC engineering and HVAC belongs to the construction industry, then you can choose the subcategory of HVAC under the major category of construction engineering. . The second is to divide according to the nature of the work itself. Some jobs are difficult to classify into one industry, or even span several industries, such as administration and accounting. Then you can divide them into broad categories according to the nature of the work. In addition to job title searches, there is also a search by industry. It is recommended that some middle-aged and elderly job seekers whose industry characteristics are not very obvious do not need to limit the scope of the industry. This can greatly improve your job search success rate. For example, many industries require accounting work. If you select accounting auditing in the industry column, you will find very little available information. After the search is completed, company and position information will appear. Click to enter to view detailed information. Since comprehensive, industry-specific, and local talent websites are for job seekers of all ages, the information that comes out at this time must be carefully screened. , and in the middle-aged and elderly talent website, because it is oriented to middle-aged and elderly people, the information searched is generally available information. After seeing the company and position information, there are two ways to operate. If you have registered as a member and filled out your resume, you can directly log in to the backend to apply for the position, and your resume will be sent to the employer's mailbox through the system. Second, you can contact them directly by phone or door-to-door visit. This method is more efficient, but many employers are disgusted with this method, so you should be cautious when choosing the second method.
