So, the very first thing you need to do is to represent yourself as a job seeker!!! Let’s say I own a company and I have an amazing product- ABC Mobile. If I want to sell my ABC Mobile I must ensure that my mobile is recognized by my targeted customers. It is obvious that if they do not have information about my mobile, I will fail to sell it to them. So at very first stage I need to create a brand and market my product. Same way, when you are looking for the job, YOU ARE A PRODUCT!!! And at the very first stage you need to market yourself as a job seeker to be recognized by the companies. If it’s a mobile you can market it through Advertisements and other promotional tools but if the product is YOU, how and where will you market yourself? Can you advertise yourself? The answer is Yes. You can advertise yourself through your RESUME. Your resume presents the best picture of you as you have mentioned your special qualities and abilities over there. So preparing a good resume is about winning the half battle. Then the question arises where will you put your advertisement-resume? - At various job portals and websites of a company.
How to use various Job Portals effectively so that you get noticed by companies?

Have you created your profile well? Have you entered all the necessary details related to your educational qualification, experience, projects, extra activities, strength and skills, areas in which you are looking for job, etc. Please make sure that you don’t miss out any important point to mention.
2 Verify Your Account through Email ID and Mobile Number
It is the most important part. If any company likes your resume how can they contact you if you have not verified your email id or mobile number. Most of the times companies filter the candidates on availability of contact details. If you have not provided the same your name would not be there in their search list. Also add your current location and whether you are ready to relocate or not.
