Find a Job

Myth: Most people find their jobs from web sites.

Reality: Most people find their jobs through talking with other people.

Consider this:

  • Many jobs are never formally advertised
  • Not  every job opening is advertised  on the web
  • Even so, it is not possible to look at all the potentially useful web sites
  • Numerous candidates may be looking at the same jobs you are

A successful job search makes use of all of the tools available.
