Finding a new job in the IT or the telecoms industry can be an arduous task. With so many possibilities how so you go about finding yourself that perfect role? The following guide concentrates on using the internet as your primary search tool opening the door to the largest 'recruitment agency' on the planet. You will also find a few tips on creating a technical CV to help boost your chances to stand out from the crowd.

Use the internet to your advantage
There are a number of reasons why the internet may be your most useful job search tool. When you are looking for that next job, speed is often of the essence and there is no faster communication available to rival the internet. CVs can be emailed from your computer and could be registered with the recruitment firms within minutes. You may also be offered a number of additional services such as automated emails when jobs within your search criteria become available. Use the web to complete your own reconnaissance on the companies you wish to work for and, when the time comes, swat up on that all important company information for the interview.

Focus on the industry
Once you begin searching the web for jobs you will notice that there are huge numbers of recruitment consultancies competing for your business. All will be offering slightly different services than the next. Before you jump right in registering with the best known agencies have a think about why you are here. What made you read this article? You are looking for job in the IT or telecoms industries! Even completing a few searches on the internet you will find that there are many firms offering recruitment services in these specific areas. A company that builds on its business focusing on a single industry must be doing something right. And you might just feel a little more confident working with a consultant who spends most of their working day finding people jobs in the area you are looking. However, thankfully everyone is different and you may be more comfortable with one of the more mainstream recruiters but this is certainly an area that should not be overlooked.

Writing a technical CV
When applying for a job in the IT and telecoms industries you will quickly notice that you are up against increasing numbers of people seeking jobs in the same industry. You therefore need to make sure that you stand out above the rest. Technical candidates will often make a critical error when compiling their CV. They will often list experience in either ridiculous detail, mentioning every aspect of their previous positions, or will write short vague content leaving many questions unanswered. If you can find the middle ground between the two you will comfortably put yourself up above the rest from the start. One of the best things that you can include is a technical summary. An employer shouldn't have to spend ages trying to decipher your CV so this is your opportunity to showcase your technical skills in a concise section. Include technical qualifications, hardware/software experience, web/programming experience and other technical information here. Also, try to ensure that this is tailored to the position being applied for. Remember, more often than not, an employer will make up their mind whether to ask you for an interview or send your CV to the bottom of the pile within the first 30 seconds.

The dangers of Internet job hunting
If you are using the internet to look for that dream job you need to be aware of some of the issues that you may face. Many online job hunters have come unstuck, falling for inflated salary offerings and claims from badly trained recruitment staff making promises that can't be kept. With the internet boom, come internet businesses and with these businesses often come ill-trained staff that can hide behind the online anonymity that the internet provides. Make sure that you do you homework before placing too much time and effort into a service provider that you may regret. Customer testimonials shouldn't be hard to come by, people will often praise an agency in some way if they have had positive experiences but negative reports may be even easier to find. If a number of people have had similarly bad experiences with a particular firm then stay well away.

Solely using the internet will never be able to completely replace the personal concentration that you may get when dealing face-to-face with a professional recruitment firm or consultant. It is however an excellent place to start and one which will offer you maximum exposure to the best IT or telecoms positions available. The internet will speed up the entire process from researching the area in which you would like to work to getting your information out to the people that matter -- so get online and make yourself heard!
