What are the advantages of using the internet to do your job search?

  • You can research a company on the internet
  • Everyday, more employers are advertising on the internet and more are using the internet to screen candidates and view resumes.
  • You can have your resume online for a greater number of employers to view.
  • Internet research is another skill you can add to your resume, making you more marketable.

How to research a company:

It is very important to research a company before going on an interview. Most companies have their own web pages and employers would expect a serous candidate to have perused their site and be prepared to discuss contents at an interview. In most cases, you can find a company's homepage by typing http://www.(the company name).com.

Why do we need a search engine?

A search engine is a tool, which scans the web for key words or phrases pertaining to your search. Since each of the web site carriers has different search techniques, it is recommended that if one search engine is not helpful for retrieving the information you are looking for, try another search engine.
