Employee review sites are a very helpful resource for the job seekers. If you’re seeking a job and wondering what it’s like working at the prospective company, you can take advantage of the online review websites where you can hear the reviews about the company from the employees working/worked there.
This helps the employees greatly in understanding the company’s work culture and know about benefits and the company’s policies. Glassdoor is an online review website for the employee as well as employers which have helped thousands of job hunters find the right workplace for them. The website features comments and reviews from both, current and former employees for a huge number of companies across the world.
While many job seekers may have personal experience with Glassdoor, the overall impact on a company’s ability to recruit talent is still uncertain. Since Glassdoor provides insider information to potential employees, this service has revolutionized the job hunt. This review site helps create more transparency in the workplace, around the globe. I know because I’ve used Glassdoor in the past when I searched for Blurbpoint employees reviews, and many of co-workers shared that it was the first place they went when they decided to look for a new job.
There are many benefits of using Glassdoor. It’s free for job seekers and always beefs up the job hunting tools, adding new and better ways to help the employees find a new job. Here are some tips and tricks to help you out:
1.Search the companies that employees like the best
With Glassdoor, you can filter the job search based on employee ratings. For example, you can limit your search to the companies with 4-star ratings and above. All you need to do is search for a job title, and create the Job Alert. You need to be aware of the little "sponsored" tag on the right-hand side which means that the company has paid for its job listing to appear on the top of your list.
2.Search the job posting before anyone else
Glassdoor can send you the new job listings every day. Just search for a job title that you are interested in. Further, click on "Create Alert" and select the Freshness date of "Last 24 Hours." Finding this will show you the listings posted on that day, so you can be among the first ones to apply.
3.See how other employees got the job
Everybody knows that we can read employee reviews on Glassdoor, but you can also get an idea about how people landed the job - like applying online or getting a friend’s reference and so on. So, search for the company you’re looking for like Blurbpoint, and click on interviews. You'll see "Getting an interview" box appear on the top.
4.Research on the actual interview questions
Apart from getting the employee reviews, Glassdoor is even a great source to see the interview questions that employees were actually asked. It’s not that you’ll be asked the same questions, but it could help you to prepare for the general gist of an interview.
5.Search the job openings in your industry
If you are just looking around to see what kinds of job opportunities are there in the industry, try searching for jobs by industry. For doing this, visit the main Glassdoor.com page, Type in a job title that best describes your job. In the job listing page that comes up, scroll down, look left, and see a selection of industries. Choose yours and browse more.
These days, there are many online review websites from where you can discover your dream job and what it’s like to working there. Make sure you take advantage of the options when you’re doing your research with these useful review sites.
Different people have different opinions of the same situation and employers. So, it’s best to try and understand which opinions you’re going to get and if you believe that their perspective would be similar to yours.
