The Internet has become an essential tool in a job search. Firms are posting job openings on home pages, and job seekers are posting their résumés in hopes of catching the attention of an employer. Additionally, local newspapers are publishing their classified ads on-line, and state employment agencies are making their job openings available to all. Therefore, it is to your advantage to use the Internet and World Wide Web [WWW] in your job search.

This is not a guide on how to use a computer or how to use the Internet. Instead, we will focus on where to look on the Internet for the job openings you seek. Following are WWW addresses for job search related web pages and search engines. There are too many job-related web pages to list all of them, so we have included the most relevant and helpful sources.
