Five online job tips

  1. Before doing any search on the internet write down a list of potential jobs that you would like. If you aren't sure about certain jobs do a search on them first.
  2. Keep track of your searchs. You don't want to type in the same keywords over and over again.
  3. Search on company websites, especially companies that you are familiar with. Most if not all have job listings.
  4. Join online networking site like Linkedn.com. You can never know enough people or contacts.
  5. Don't just relay on the big job websites like Monster and Careerbuilder. There are smaller job sites that just might have what you are looking for.
