Melissa White, assistant director of Career Services at Texas Christian University, said it's not quite that simple, even though these services can be an effective way to research the job market. White said the Internet has become a popular way to look for a job, but that the most effective way is still networking.
Most people find jobs through someone they know.
Networking will never change, but the way we go about it does. At Career Services, we do encourage students to use the Internet, but not as their only resource. The Web is a good starting place, though. What You Want Julie Markus, a 1997 graduate, said she found her job through Career Services. Markus said her employer recruits heavily from the Web.
