    New Resources
    We've added 27 new sample resumes to our HTML collection. If you're looking for inspiration as you develop yours, its a greatplace to start.

    We've also added a whopping 79 new search firms and companies offering employment opportunities to our collection of New Sites. We always suggest that you hurry to visit new sites in their infancy as a way of getting a jump on the opportunities.

    I'm Gonna Be In Picksures
    Is a career in the entertainment industry on your wish list? Drop by the world of Shobizjobs.com (the Entertainment Recruiting Network). The HR managers in "Hollywood" have banded together to form a consortium for recruiting purposes. Though we bet it doesn't last terribly long, the job listings are accompanied by a listing of Key HR professionals in a variety of very top companies. If you've targeted Paramount, Disney, Capital Cities, MCA or one of the other Entertainment biggies, the Entertainment Recruiting Network has been kind enough to include the addresses and fax numbers of the key HR people.

    Getting Started
    For a solid look at the breadth and depth of online resources, you might want to try the Virtual Job Fair (VJF). An outgrowth of High Tech Careers Magazine, VJF is an amazing array of pointers, tips and job listings. Their jobs database includes over 15,000 listings from 500 employers. They may well be the largest single source of job listings on the web.

    We think that their collection of career related technology articles will inform and entertain you for hours. Virtual Job Fair (VJF) is certainly one of the most comprehensive web resources of tools and information for the job hunt.

    May 8, 1996
    Usenet Newsgroups
    There are literally hundreds of thousands of job postings in the Usenet newsgroups. Organized by region (mostly) and profession (somewhat) Usenet is very fertile ground for a job search. We always reccommend using the AltaVista or Deja News search engines to poke through the big pile of opportunities in the mix.

    The other day, we got some email from an outfit called CyberBabes (they appear to focus on using Usenet to retrieve um,...pictures). They do have a comprehensive selection of tools for reading Usenet on their home page. Most importantly, they feature a Usenet Job Hunter's Companion that includes a preset filter for querying Deja News and a very comprehensive listing of newsgroups. You might also take a look at our usenet pages as a way of coming up to speed:

    A word of warning: Reading Usenet can be habit forming. If you've never used Usenet before, try
  • news.announce.newusers. It's supposed to be the first newsgroup you should read. There's also a great resource called "How can I actually find information" that is a solid introductory tutorial.

    Don't Leave Home
    Increasingly, interesting jobs can be done from home. When we first heard about The Telecommuting Jobs Web Page, we were sure that we find another silly stockpile of get rich quick schemes. Instead, we found a resource rich in sound opportunities for and information about telecommuting. They offer a solid range of professional jobs that can be performed without going to the office.

    Wheat From Chaff
    This morning's Wall Street Journal (the paper version) included an ad for an on-line resume bank called (cleverly) Resume Bank. They post your resume in a database for a six month fee of $40. How do you tell if it's worth the investment?

    Prices for listing and distribution services range from $20 to $125 and have a number of features from privacy (of varying levels) to distribution methods. Some only put your credentials in their database while others distribute it broadly. Some resell it to other agencies while others promise to only take money from job seekers.

    The Resume Bank approach is by far the most suspect. Your resume goes into their database and they offer no guarantees (though guarantees are quite scarce in this arena) or information about the number of people who will see (or even potentially see) your credentials.

    We're wholehearted supporters of broad, very public, distribution of your resume. We believe that the odds of reaching a responsive target are entirely dependent on the sheer volume of resumes that you send out. Rather than private databases like Resume Bank, we suggest that you look for tools that give you wide and public distribution (like the html resumes on Tripod. We're somewhat biased, obviously, but think that our sponsor JobCenter also offers a good bargain.

    Things You Might Not Need
    We'd track down any excuse possible to rave about Archie McPhee (Outfitters of Popular Culture since 1986). No job hunt is complete without a voodoo doll (useful in times of rejection or when remembering an old boss), a wind-up walking rhino (for use when procrastinating research), or a pack of bubblegum that tastes like pickles (for the receptionist on your way out of an interview gone wrong). Best of all, they'll send you a free catalog. We keep ours close at hand as a reminder that the Job Hunt is not all serious.
