    Learning Your Industry
    People look for jobs for a variety of reasons that span the range from personal growth to desperation. The most effective approach to the hunt is completely dependent on the job searcher's objectives and motives. Success is, most often, a function of personal clarity, timing, persistence and the current demand for your particular skill set.

    We're less convinced that the much ballyhooed "Networking" approach is effective. Though it appears to enrich a certain subset of authors of job hunting books and career counselors, we know very few job hunters who actually gained employment through networking. Viable businesses are far too concerned about the EEO implications of networking as a recruiting method to allow it to account for a very large percentage of their hiring.

    That leaves the job hunter with persistence, self-promotion, research and personal clarity as the major tools of an extended job hunt. The Web can only help with self-promotion and research.

    If you haven't, take the time to review your personal and professional interests using Yahoo. The opening page contains a search engine and a link to instructions for using it effectively. Find the companies and professional organizations in your area. Use the Web to understand their growth and development strategies. Email the people in those companies and associations. Find out if and where they are discussing professional issues online. Join those conversations and contribute. Get to know the industry and you'll find the opportunities.

    Finding Opportunities
    We can't overemphasize the importance of looking in places that don't say "Jobs" in their title. Editor and Publisher Interactive, for example, is a doorway to a great deal of job hunting insight. Targeted at the creators of on-line newspapers, Editor and Publisher Interactive not only offers job opportunities at the bottom of its home page, it contains a consolidated listing of all newspapers on the Web. This is the easiest way to find the news resources in your neighborhood. Watching the local news and your industry's news are keys to success in the hunt.

    Getting Started
    You're wondering if you should invest the time energy and money in developing an HTML Resume (a "home-page" Resume). Our answer is very definitely and loudly "YES!". But not for the reasons you might think initially. From a job offer/interview perspective, the jury is still out on the effectiveness of HTML Resumes. Soon, they'll be a clear part of the required package for Net based job hunters, but it's just not the case yet.

    So, why invest the time? Several reasons, actually. You need resume writing practice. For most, each opportunity is going to require a reworking of your credentials package. The more practice you have at writing and rewriting your material, the more ready you'll be to tailor it when required. Often, you'll have between two hours and and a couple of days to reorient your presentation to the specifics of the opportunity. Being good at rewriting requires practice. An HTML Resume is another chance for rehearsal.

    Second, HTML is much easier to learn than you might think. Overcoming the technophobia that surrounds a new technical skill is a great way to loosen yourself up for the adaptive challenges you'll face in the job search and on the new job.

    Finally, HTML skills are in high demand, currently. You might just find that you enjoy working with markup languages. Having put your own page together is one more credential for your resume that demonstrates your ability to stay current. The Web is full of helpful resources. For Starters, you might try Automated Homepage Creation (paste your resume into the text portion). A Crash Course in HTML is another great place to start. Yahoo is a gold mine of resources including as section of Guides and Tutorials and an extensive listing of HTML Editors (tools that assist you in web page development).

    Job Sources
    The tools section has the beginnings of a detailed guide for job hunters. It includes the most comprehensive set of links we know of to Recruiting Firms, newsgroups, companies with net jobs and so forth. Take a look.
    Meanwhile, Kelly Services has rolled out their new website with a bucketful of job listings. The world is not full of permanent full time jobs and Kelly has decades of exprience with temporary, contract placement

    HTML Resume Examples
    From time to time, we'll offer the latest crop of HTML (Web Page) Resumes as examples that you might take a lesson from. Here are the latest additions to the burgeoning crop of HTML Resumes.

    Job Sources
    We're fans of E-Span as a job hunting tool. Once you're enrolled in their system, they limit the streams of material you see to things that match your resume and enrollment criteria. Nice place to visit every couple of weeks during your search.
