Online Resources

The career e-book discusses the pros and cons of online resources. They can be an easy way

to get your name into the public arena very quickly. Online sites can also be a place where

many scam artists and time wasters reside too. You want to be technically savvy and make

good use of online resources while minimizing their potential to side-track you completely.

In addition, online resources are for a particular category of jobs. You can have great success

with entry or mid-level range job postings on online bulletin boards, but you will have no luck if

you are an executive. That’s because the more confidential a job is, the higher it pays, the more

likelihood it won’t be posted publicly online. Find out where to go to see executive postings and

also what online resources can be better than others.
