Internet, Information Superhighway or world-wide network, anyway you put it, it still remains a technological miracle, no longer out of the reach of the general public. Yet, your Superhighway can reach a deadlock if you don’t know where to look and how to search.
When it comes to job-searching, Internet has become one of the easiest ways to contact employers, companies, post resumes or even set online interviews with your future boss. Search engines, online magazines and newspapers, as well as Internet sites which specially publish new job entries every week assist you daily in your quest for the perfect job. Moreover, every profession has an official website where one can post a resume or search for a vacant position in their field of specialization.
If you are a writer, you are lucky. The internet is an infinite online library which is constantly updated and can bring writers and editors in direct communication. The European Union has estimated that by the end of 1999, 250 million people will have gone online.
There are several Internet sites that let you into the secrets of the writing market , providing you with all the useful writing tips you’ll need, to see yourself in print. There are chat- rooms where writers gather to discuss about their projects and give each other ideas, online conferences and workshops, interactive e-lists, contests, reviews of books and articles on different aspects of writing. Almost all of these sites have a newsletter you can receive in your mailbox after subscribing for free.
The dangers of catching a virus through e-mails is rather remote because viruses occur in programs. If however you receive an attachment from someone you don’t know, it would be advisable not to open it. The only thing that you may find annoying is the possibility of receiving Spam mail, especially if you post your e-mail address in various sites.
Websites like Freelancewriting, Inkspot, Writingcorner, Writersmarket, Write4kids … the list could literally go on and on, posting jobs that could be done either by setting up an interview with the company and visiting their offices or by the comfort of your own house. Yes, that’s right!
On a more general basis you can find all kinds of work posted online, from website designer to plumber to account director, in various websites which claim to offer the hottest jobs ever. Sites like Freejob, Topjobs, Jobrobot, Londoncareers, Jobsearch.Monster and many many more offer thousands of opportunities daily and what is more they are free!
Jobs are divided in categories, in part-time/full time positions, permanent or temporary. Some websites act as search engines. You type the kind of job you are looking for and they search a wide range of newspapers to find your ideal position. This is especially true for American websites where you also get the chance to choose the area you want to work in by clicking on the appropriate newspapers. If that still doesn’t work every newspaper features a job opportunities link in its online edition.
Searching for a job on the net has never been so easy.
