One of the fastest growing facets of the internet, however is internet job search. First, we all know we live in an increasingly mobile society, and to the wide world web, distance is no problem! Second, the cost of recruiting and advertising for qualified job candidates has risen astronomically. A three inch ad in a metropolitan newspaper's classified section can run over $700 for one week! Third, in a world requiring greater and greater technical skills and communication abilities, the web is seen by many employers as an ideal place to find motivated, qualified people who are 'with it' in terms of today's changing technology. Finally, job seekers love the prospect of placing a résumé on-line, as opposed to sending it to a 'roundfile' post office box.

However, placing your résumé on the web requires a bit more than simple motivation. Your résumé must be first translated into the file format for each specific site, or typed, pasted, or input into each job board. The RésuméAgent web site and JobVillage.com offer an easy solution to this chore which has helped job seekers nationwide.

Also, you'll need to know more about just where on the web to 'post' your résumé. There are a number of free sites and many pay sites, as well. In addition, some employers 'advertise' jobs for hire, particularly for technical, engineering, and computer positions.

In general, you don't want to put all of your eggs into the internet basket. The web is growing by leaps and bounds day by day, but it's not the only strategy for circulating your résumé. However, with the rapid growth of digital world and relative economy of on-line advertising, your career search will almost certainly include the Internet.
