Job seekers have heard of pounding the pavement. Now they have to worry about pounding the keyboard. As more employers post job openings online, the Internet is becoming a primary tool for job searches.
Many employers advertise open positions on Web pages designed to aid job seekers.
At these sites, applicants hunt for jobs by categories such as location, field and position. While the Internet can be an effective way to research job listings, the large number of sites and search options can be overwhelming. The main problem is the vast amount of information. Many of these sights are aimed at a large, broad audience. It's harder to secure positions that way.
