Gathering Applicants

Position Postings

There are two major types of audiences for job ads or postings.
The first is internal; majority of companies first attempt to attract those within the company to apply for the position now vacant or newly created. During the internal posting phase, the position would only be open to internal applicants and while you might have a “back door” into the company your application might not reviewed because you are classified as an external applicant.
Once the internal applicant pool has been exhausted, the company might open the position to the general public. Here is your chance to attract the attention of the recruiter.

External postings typically emerge from the following sources:

Local colleges, universities, or job fairs
Newspapers or trade magazines
Professional organizations
Websights
