Internet Job Search


Finding Your Job Online
In a job search, the Internet has much ccore to offer than job listings.
Here are some other things you can do:


  • Figure out what field or job is best for you

  • Research companies you may want to work for

  • Use e-mail or Web sites to turn in job applications

  • Connect with people who may know of job opportunities

  • find jobs anywhere-not just in your hometown

Use a notebook to keep track of your job-related notes and thoughts. As you search, log all of the jobs you apply for and other information about your job search. The notebook will always be available and won't suddenly stop working like a computer might. Ugghhhh
