It is 2011 and the economy is still limping along. Despite the slump in economic prosperity around the word, there is still a demand for jobs. Here are some tricks that have allowed me to not be affected at all by the recession.

I have put together a quick list of 5 things I have done to get jobs quickly.

1) Advertise yourself! – Post your resume on indeed.com, monster.com, simplyhired.com, linkedin.com. Create a blog and talk about your industry.

There are a few job search engines that allow you to search the web for decent jobs in ANY career field. And these sites are equal or better than monster.com:
http://www.indeed.com
http://www.simplyhired.com

2) Use keywords related to the field on your resume and put in online – Employers searching through resumes are focusing on keyword/phrases.

3) Talk to job recruiters – Employers often use job recruiters to find workers. So, these recruiters have constant access to many different opportunities.

4) Check the current trend in your industry – Be aware of what is going on in the industry you are in. Use indeed.com/jobtrends to search keywords

5) Be willing to travel & negotiate travel – being willing to give a little to an employer can make you more attractive to an employer.
