Definition: how to find a job on the Internet


Looking for a job on the Internet is convenient and efficient. Companies simplify the process of hiring by posting job openings on company websites and job search sites.

Resume Format
The common formats for resumes are Word and PDF. With Word, be sure to keep font selection basic as the fonts must be in the recipient's machine. With PDF, fonts are included in the document. Otherwise, plain text is used, which is devoid of any layout attributes (centering, bold, etc.).

Job Search Sites
There are many websites devoted to job listings. While some deal with all kinds of jobs, others are targeted to industry or location. To find out which site works best, spend time surfing through their offerings. As most sites allow searches on the latest listings, you can easily go back and see if anything new has been posted.

Be sure to check the employment category with services such as Yahoo!. You will find information on job banks, career planning, resume services, resume banks and more to help you find gainful employment. Monster.com also has resources such as career advice and articles pertaining to job hunting. Following are some of the job sites on the Web. Happy hunting.
