- More Jobs Being Found Online, but That Doesn't Mean It's Easy
- One of the first things Brooke Christiansen did as college graduation neared last spring was post her résumé on three of the largest Internet job boards: Monster, CareerBuilder and HotJobs.
For the most part, she said, it was an exercise in frustration.
"You get piles and piles of jobs that no matter what you type in, come up with every single search," she said. "It's very hard and very time-consuming to find something you're actually interested in."
In addition, she said, it is rare to hear back when applying for jobs found on the sites.
Mary Riley Dikel, creator of The Riley Guide, a directory of employment and career resources on the Internet, said: "One job seeker told me, 'I think I'd be more successful distributing my résumé by opening my window and throwing it out.' You do feel like you're going into a black hole."
To that frustration, add the risk that identity thieves may steal information from résumés posted on job sites - and to estimates that only 3 percent to 5 percent of job seekers find employment through the sites - and it is reasonable to ask, Why bother?
Recruiters and career counselors typically turn the question around and ask, Why not? Applicants, they say, need to recognize that job boards are but one tool among many that can be used to find work.
"The Internet is an absolutely necessary tool in your job search arsenal, but it's not your only tool," Ms. Dikel said. "Use Monster and professional associations and local and state job boards and other things that target what you want. But if you're spending more than 15 minutes on the Internet, you're lost."
A proliferation of new sites - many capitalizing on search engine technology to provide job offerings from across the Internet - are giving job seekers some new alternatives to explore.
