Not all job-seekers are rushing into cyberspace. Some people dislike the impersonality of the Net, or are simply reluctant to put information about themselves on public display. Caveats aside, hundreds of major companies, including Boeing, IBM, Ford, Gannett and Citicorp, now list job openings on their Web sites. With a few strokes at their keyboards, job-seekers can find employment tools ranging from job listings to career development aids. They can find lists organized by states, by occupations, by industries, by just about any category.
Employment sites work in different ways.
Some also provide job-search help, such as advice on resume writing or interviewing. Still others will automatically notify job-seekers when an opening in their field comes up. AJB is a service of the U.S. Labor Department and state employment agencies. Moreover, using a job bank doesn't require technical expertise. Most job banks contain instructions for exploring their sites.
