I simply upload resumes to the companies that I want to receive them. Many students report logging on to the Web site at least once or twice each week, in order to keep up with constantly changing information about job listings, various corporations and the career development office's list of about 1,600 internships. Alumni and students abroad have access to the career development resources via the Internet as well. Feifer says that the career development office is assisting more alumni in job searches each year. On-line resources have become increasingly popular among employers as well as career development offices at colleges and universities.
More employers now collect resumes online.
They also recruit candidates via e-mail and create intricate Web pages to keep potential employees apprised of news and events. Feifer says that the career development office will survey employers to see how the Internet has affected their recruiting. Brett Danaher, who parlayed his on-line search into a job with the Vanguard Group's business leadership development program, believes that career development counselors remain a vital part of the process. Feifer says that resumes are most effective when sent to someone with whom a student has had personal contact. The Internet is part of the search, not the search itself.
