Using the Internet for your Job Search

The Internet has revolutionised the job market and the process of finding a job.  While more traditional methods such as adverts in newspapers and networking can still generate results, the Internet offers new, more time and cost-efficient route to finding a new career.

With a click of your mouse your job search can be accelerated, gaining you access to every type of career in existence, across the globe.  The Internet offers the opportunity to . . .

• Research employers
• Contact employment agencies
• Browse job sites
• Review employers´ job vacancies
• Email your CV to recruitment agencies and employers
• Submit your CV resume electronically to thousands of job boards
• Attend an interview / on line conference
• Find a dream job!

How else does the Internet help your job search?

• access to the job market 24 x 7
• immediate access to job postings
• eliminates printing and postage costs
• saves time trailing around job agencies
• a global market is a click of the mouse away
• access to potential employer web sites and vacancies

Five ways to find jobs via the Internet

1. CV Distribution Services - will submit your CV to thousands of job sites or recruitment agencies for a fairly low fee.  The problem with this method can be that your CV is sent with many hundreds of others and runs the risk of not even being read for more than a cursory few seconds
2. CV Postings - there are job sites that encourage you to post your CV on their database free of charge.  The sites sell access to the database to employers and agencies. 
3. Job Postings placed by agencies and employers can be an effective method of researching and finding a job on the Internet.   It is worth noting that applying direct to an employer - cutting out the middle man "agency"  - can make you an attractive candidate as the employer will not have to pay an agency commission.
4. Associations and Institutes, for example, the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development, offer job listings specific to their particular field of interest - in this case Human Resources.  
5. Trade publications and newspaper sites offer access to the job section of national and local newspapers.  For example - www.pressdisplay.com and www.jobsguardian.co.uk
