Internet Resources

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

• To be able to research an organization in order to prepare a targeted cover letter.
• To be able to speak with assurance when being interviewed by a prospective employer.
• If you can summarize the main points of an employer’s "mission statement," a prospective employer will know that you have done at least a minimal amount of research. 
• To be able to find out more about an organization - not only through their own website, but elsewhere on the Internet. 
• Every day, more employers are advertising their positions on the Internet and more are using the Internet to screen candidates and preview resumes.
• Having your resume online means that a greater number of employers can view it.
• 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 serious candidate to have perused their site and be prepared to discuss its contents at an interview.  In most cases, you can find a company's homepage by typing http://www.(the company name).com.   For additional research, look under the category “RESEARCH A COMPANY/SCHOOL” in this document.

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 Engines:

The Internet may be a useful tool for researching your career and job search. Below are some Web sites to explore. Download a printable PDF (175KB) of this page.
