If you are hunting for a new job at the moment, you’ll notice many job sites now have advanced features beyond what has been typical in the past. Job listing websites now go beyond plain job listings and an e-mail address of whom you can contact. New innovations in the online job world include:

• Video Resumes - why rely on your written CV alone to promote yourself? You can now upload a short video resume detailing your skills, and giving you a great avenue to sell yourself in a personable way.

• CV Publishing - post your CV online to let potential employers come to you. While this can mean a fast way to get picked up by a great company, be careful if you’re current employer doesn’t know you are looking to move - being online means anyone can access it!

• Video Conferencing - great if you are applying for jobs in other cities, allowing you to be interviewed virtually with ease.

• Online Testing - not sure which career path you want to go down? Take one of the many career, personality or IQ tests available to get a personalised recommendation for your next step - then follow through to jobs that may suit your needs.

If you’re a new member to the online job hunting game, read up on applying for jobs online.
