"Tiny Ads" is a general term referring to classified or small-format advertisements (like in newspapers or basic online boards), rather than a specific application platform with a universal process. Therefore, the application method is determined entirely by the instructions provided within each specific job advertisement.
Candidates should carefully read the full ad to find clear instructions on how to proceed.
Candidate Instructions
- Read the Entire Ad: The specific "How to Apply" instructions will be buried in the text.
- Follow Directions Exactly: The employer may ask you to:
- Email a resume to a specific email address, possibly with a required subject line (e.g., "Application for [Job Title]").
- Visit a careers page or third-party site to fill out an online application.
- Call a phone number or send a physical mail application (less common today).
- Complete a specific action, such as answering a unique question in your cover letter to prove you read the ad.
- Do Not Guess: If instructions are unclear, try contacting the employer if a general company contact is available. Do not apply via a method not specified in the ad.
- Tailor Your Application: Customize your resume and cover letter for each position you apply for, highlighting relevant experience
