    Getting Ready
    Get a spell checker and a grammar checker. Use them.

    Jan 12, 1996
    Getting Ready
    Don't buy the myth that the only jobs available on-line are for technical people. Our favorite example is the TruckDrivers Job Directory. Check out the Specialties section of our Tools list for a sene of the broad array of possibilities in an online job hunt.

    Searching Newsgroups
    Another approach to finding your way through the Newsgroup Morass is to use DejaNews. DejaNews allows you to be very refined in the particular groups you are searching while AltaVista allows more refined searches of the Newsgroups as a whole. As far as we can tell, the differences between the results from DejaNews and AltaVista have to do with the load on their servers at any particular moment. It will be useful to get proficient at using both services.

    Jan 10, 1996
    Getting Ready
    As good as they look, your faxes are liable to be read by a computer first. This means that you need to limit yourself to widely recognized fonts and to keep your material no smaller than 12 points. Widely recognized fonts include Times and Helvetica.

    Jan 09, 1996
    Getting Ready
    Faxes are cheaper than mail and email is virtually (no pun intended) free. But, if you are going to use either, make sure that you know exactly what the output looks like on the other end. Assuming that you are using a fax-modem to send you faxes, this means finding a friend with a "real" fax. Send a couple of copies and make sure that you're happy with the results.

    Email is a different matter. The only way to control the look of emailed resumes and cover letters is by limiting yourself to no more than 50 characters per line.

    Jan 08, 1996
    Getting Ready
    Prepare for a long search. Recent estimates are that you will spend somewhere between 6 weeks and 6 months finding your next position. This means that Rejection will be your constant companion.

    Try to imagine that you are a product in the hands of a direct marketing firm. Those folks are happy with "hit" rates of about 1.5%. With those percentages in mind you can expect one or two responses for every 100 resumes you send out. Your competition is using email and mass faxes to get attention.

    Jan 07, 1996
    Required Tools
    You wouldn't skimp on the clothing that you wear to your interview or the paper you put your Resume on, would you? Don't skimp on your access to the Net. To realize the full value of the Net as a jobsearch tool, you need to have the latest copy of Netscape running on your machine. Period.

    You'd be smart to install a seperate phone line and get the fastest modem you can find.
