JMC Job Search Tips (Simple Things pt 49…)


Is the web helping you? Pt 1…
Far too often the answer from the average job seeker is, “Not really”. Are you making
optimal use of the internet in your search? Old habits are hard to break and many of us
first generation technophiles, meaning we number ourselves amongst the first extended
users of the world wide web, are still locked into our primary use cell. That is, we still view
the net as primarily an information (search/email) tool with a secondary application as a
source of e-commerce/entertainment (shopping, gaming, music, social networking, etc.).
Nothing wrong with that however in today’s employment market, there are other
applications of this technology that can be a tremendous help in your efforts. We’ll call it
“web-working” to ironically distinguish it somewhat from networking. This is a suite of
applications that can help get your name out there in the job market via the web-verse.
Weblogs or blogging, professional networking sites, self-marketing pages, newsgroups,
and usergroups are all opportunities to market your skills and qualifications as well as get
information and contacts. (Continued next edition…)

Please note: The next “JMC Live” will be held on WEDNESDAY, March 7,
