Many employers are already wired for the Web and include their job openings on the company's website. Quick, cheap and simple. It's tough for qualified candidates to find all the individual company websites listing suitable jobs. Job seekers using the electronic classifieds will be computer-smart. They will find ads they might have missed in the newspaper by searching keywords in the ad.

Right now, the most motivated employers are in certain segments of the computer and financial industries. If your target job is more elusive, you'll have to work harder to find the position you want.
