Especially in thinking that an online search for a good job will be at your fingertips.

It is still people who hire other people. Where is the human connection by finding a job online? Even if you find a job that way, the job seeker has already relinquished his or her own choices by being a dot in someone’s com.

I do coach and counsel clients to use all possible means to find a job, but it is still the human connection that counts the most. Thanks. mjt

While the Net is a good starting place, it’s the “people thing” that needs to be emphasized.

Check on Howard Figler’s chapter on: “The No Search Job Search”. in his book on job searching. It’s not magic but it involves YOU and lots of others.

Thank you notes also work wonders, but then you will have to write a personal note to a real person.

Since I’ve got them as Live Bookmarks in Firefox, it saves me a bunch of time from actually going to the sites.

It would take some pretty risk-taking companies that would agree to that but I think it would make the job market much more efficient…
