Answers
to job offers
This is the most efficient
method, because you can select job offers that match your
profile. The only disadvantage is that you will compete with
other job seekers. Using this method allows the recruiter to
receive many applications and to have the choice. It is
therefore essential for you to make the difference with a
clear and professional CV and cover letter.

Targeted
mailing
With this method you are
indeed able to reach a large number of companies. But you
need to have a general, non-specific, non-personalized
letter. It is very rare "to be in the right place at
the right time", that is to say to meet a specific need
of the companies you reached with your application.This
method will then mainly be chosen for recruitment agencies
and headhunters. They constantly need various profiles to
answer their clients specific needs. This way, you hand over
to a third party your "profile-corresponding" job
prospection.

Submit
your CV on a job website
This is a
more passive method than answering job offers directly.
Nonetheless, it is relevant when your profile shows specific
and distinctive skills and characteritics, and you must then
put them forward in your resume and cover letter. When you
first submit it, your application is sent to a large
recruiters mailing list. During the first few days, your
profile is viewed many times. But it doesn't last long.
Every time you make a modification on your profile, it goes
back on top of the list when recruiters select a sorting by
date of modification. So here is our advice : update your
profile and resume regularly to increase their visibility !

Networks
We all have
a personal contact network, and we don't use it as much as
we could and as we should. For every person we know, we
could get an average of three or four relevant contacts.
Don't hesitate to talk about the kind of position you are
looking for to friends or family members. You never know,
maybe they happen to know someone who is looking for your
profile. Of course, it doesn't work for many people, but it
already did, so why not you? Also think about checking on
the Internet for specialized networks. They are often sorted
by industry categories (eg : the graphists network...) and
give you precious advice on your specific field.
