Are Internet Job Search Tools the Way to Go?

by George W. Zobrist

Many Internet sites offer job listings, resume service, job fairs, hints and techniques for career searches, and other related services. Most are free; some require a subscription. Some are regionally focused, while others have an international scope. Some cater to recent graduates and those new to specific job markets, some to mid-career professionals, others to managers, and yet others to specialized technical professionals.

If you have taken advantage of any Internet job search tools, we want to hear from you. Please send us your words of wisdom or your experience. Let us know what sites or aspects of electronic job searches you found useful and which sites worked better for you.
