Job
Hunting on the Internet
Surfing the Internet is one of
the newest methods to finding employment, applying for
jobs, and researching employers. You will find a
variety of resources and services to assist you, and
used in conjunction with other job search strategies,
you can greatly increase your opportunities for
employment.
Tips
For Electronic Job Searching
There
are many ways that you can use this tool. Some
organizations have created on-line resume databases
which can be searched by employers for potential
candidates. You may enter your personal data or
electronically-formatted resume which will then be
transmitted to employers. As with personnel
agencies, be aware that some organizations may charge a
fee for this service.
- Researching
an employer electronically can help you get a better
idea of the nature of an organization where you may
want to work. Recruiters can supplement their
annual reports or career literature by posting their
job openings, position descriptions, career paths,
or other significant information to attract the job
hunter.
- "Networking"
takes on new meaning in the electronic job search.
One of the best ways to develop yourself
professionally, meet people who work in your field,
and learn the current trends in your industry is to
join an electronic discussion group. These are
often sponsored by professional associations, and
provide access to practitioners in your chosen
career interest area.
- The
electronic "want ads" have been growing
exponentially as organizations realize the cost
savings over advertising in newspapers. It
makes sense for organizations who are looking for
candidates with computer skills and familiarity with
the Internet!
