Information technology has revolutionized the way people look for jobs.

Need help with Job-hunting? or maybe writing a resume or a cover letter? ...lets visit the Net.Who even looks at resumes anymore? isn't it just straight to your social networking site---Linkedin.The internet is our resume. The net has revolutionized job hunting! Although most job openings are not advertised ...if they should be advertised ...you will probably find the job listed online. Online resources and online job search tools are a major way that people today find jobs. Likewise recruiters find the best candidates online. Sites like www.careerbuilder.com,  www.indeed.com and www.craigslist.org are popular options for recruiters. Meanwhile www.glassdoor.com is the site I browse to get a feel of the company's culture and the pay I should expect. As well as www.salary.com. On the interview, thanks to information technology, a candidate can now research the company online and make a good first impression.

  3. You have chosen a great topic for your blog. I find this very useful personally as someone who is searching for a long term career. I had never heard of the glassdoor.com, I will be sure to check it out. I completely agree that a lot of job searching/posting is done online. Being able to search for jobs efficiently and market yourself well on the internet will be very important in the future.
