Some advantages of using the Internet for your job search:

• To be able to research a company on the Internet before you apply or interview
• A prospective employer will know you have done at least a minimal amount of research if you can summarize the main points of the organization's "mission statement"
• Every day, more employers use the Internet to screen candidates and preview resumes
• Internet research is another skill you can add to your résumé, making you more marketable.

How to research a company:

It is extremely important to research a company before going on an interview.  Most companies have their own web pages; therefore, employers expect a serious candidate to have perused their site and to 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 resources, look under the category Know a Company (or School).

Search Engines:

These tools scan the web for keywords or phrases. Try one or several, as each website uses different methods (algorithms) to get results.

Yahoo	www.yahoo.com		Ask	www.ask.com
Exalead	www.exalead.com/search/		Bing	http://www.bing.com/
