Private Employer Link Strategy |
|
If a private employer has only one or two locations in Washington State there will be a link for that employer on the web pages
for those areas of Washington.
If a private employer has three or more locations in Washington State they will be listed on one of the mulitple locations web
pages. A code will identify which areas of Washington the employer has locations:
- SA = Seattle Area locations
- NW = Northwest Washington locations
- PN = Kitsap and Olympic Peninsula locations
- SW = Southwest Washington locations
- EW = Eastern Washington locations
Be sure to investigate job opportunities with companies on the multiple location pages as they may have offices in your city. It
is not feasible to create separate links for every location of these companies.
If a private employer has their headquarters in Washington State there will be a link for that employer on the web page for that
area of Washington even if they are also listed on a multiple locations web page. There will be a designation of HQ in the link
identifying it as a headquarters location.

Finding Jobs on Employer Web Sites |
|
Some companies make their job listings easy to find by placing a link to them from their home page. Others tend to hide the job listings link on lower level pages. As a result sometimes you have to do a little search to find it. The following are some helpful hints to find job listings.
(In earlier versions of my site I used to link directly to company job pages. However, companies reorganize their web sites so often that these links quickly became broken. So now I link only to home pages.)
If you find a company that you are interested in working for go ahead and bookmark their employment/jobs page. Then you can periodically go directly there to check for new job listings.

Suggestion for Web Site Designers |
|
There are three basic reasons someone would visit your home page:
- Interested in your Products.
- Interested in Working for your company.
- Interesting in Investing in your company.
Have clearly visible links to this information on your home page to minimize visitor frustration!
