If you've lost your job recently, or you just want a new fresh start, you can actually post your own ads on these American classifieds sites. Most people think that these sites are just to reply to ads that people are selling stuff on. But, you can virtually use them for anything you want. Finding a job online through these online classifieds is nothing new, but it might be something new to you. So, what exactly are the pros and the cons of posting online when using online classifieds? First off, you can quite literally post free classified ads in any category you want as long as its relevant to the job you want.
And you can post free classified ads on any classified ad site you want, in any town or city you want. This is great for a statewide search in your area. More ads means more options means more people seeing your ad and quite possibly having a position available for you! These American classifieds are also nice because you can get everything out that you have to say in your ad without being interrupted. This is a great "hook" when it comes to reeling in potential companies and businesses. You can add your experience, resume, and portfolio right to the ad.
This is going to be the first thing companies and businesses are going to see when they find an ad like yours. Another pro is that these are FREE sites. This means you can post as many ads as you want in as many places on the site you want and it will never cost you a dime! On the other hand, even if you post on something like the real newspaper offline, you have to pay like 10cents a word. With American classifieds you can say as much as you want for free! Also, you have to realize that these online classifieds are filled to the brim with different people from different backgrounds, different companies and different opportunities available.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone onto an online classifieds site looking for dogs for sale and somehow I always end up in the job section of the site looking for employees to hire. I guess it's always in the back of my mind, so somehow I always seem to end up there! This is good for you the person that posted the ad! You have millions of people that are going to run across your ad. Can you say that about an offline newspaper? Doubtful! The only main con you could run into is spammers collecting your email address, however, if you joined an online classifieds site that has anonymous encrypted email addresses, you won't even have to worry about this!
These anonymous emails work pretty brilliantly. All you have to do is sign up for an account, post an ad, place your email address on the add, press anonymize and it will turn your email address into an encrypted address. So if your email address was BaseballLover12, now it might be something like job-wjuhj-1581934588 or whatever. Try it out and see for yourself. It's free so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
