Where to Look for a Standard 9-5 SEO Job

[BobGW]

Hello,

I'm looking for a standard 20-30 hour a week SEO job. I'd like to make $30/hour. My resume is here.

So far I'm making a list of all the SEO companies in Boise, Idaho. Then I'm going to also call up the larger companies in my local area.

I'm interested in knowing how to best look for a job, and if there are any national companies where I could do work locally for.

Let me know what other information I can provide.

Hi Bob,

I'd highly recommend building out your profile on LinkedIn (if you haven't already) and then maybe even opting for the upgraded membership for a month or two. Lots and lots of SEO jobs there. Speaking from experience, the jobs posted on LinkedIn are far more "real" than jobs you'll find other places (like TheLadders).

If there's a company you're particularly interested in, call them directly. I cold called the company that I currently work for, they hadn't even advertised for an SEO, and guess what? They created a position for me Nifty huh?

One final suggestion, you're getting into a realm where working for an hourly wage is not really the best approach, IMHO (feel free to disagree). But, I think that if you are looking for a steady SEO job working for the same company or agency, you need to come up with your expected salary and benefits. Keep those close to your vest and don't put them on your resume. The right company will make the right offer Best of luck to you!

Indeed.com usually has quite a few listings in the SEO field.

Bob -

I would recommend looking at Craigslist and other posts for people looking for an SEO position, and also talking to some of the other SEO companies in your town about working for them on a part-time, contract basis.

Many companies don't want to hire a full time employee, but might see a great need for someone 20 hours per month.  Piece together a few of these, and you'll have this taken care of...

Hope this helps...
