Tips for Job Search

You'd want to be an active participant in online discussions, for, hundreds of people get to know you, your background and your skill sets.

Sites like http://forums.webhosting.info (on web hosting), http://www.bluegeckonetwork.com/forum/ (on web design, Internet marketing, macromedia, etc), http://qaforums.com/ (on software testing& quality assurance), http://www.vbforums.com/ (on VB) help you discuss much more on the relevant subject.

You can also count on the alumni sites and newsgroups for networking.

Locate them on Google by clicking `Groups'. To discover your school's alumni chat room, visit your university's homepage or try Google University search at http://www.google.com/universities.html Keep in mind however, that it is prudent not to splash your résumé all over the web, but focus on posting them on specific sites.

Also, don't bother applying for a job where you don't fit in. For, when your key words don't match, your profile doesn't get looked at.

Keep an eye on new sites; keep reading newspapers and newsgroups to keep you updated with current trends and issues. Happy hunting!
