|How to begin a job search on the Internet|


|Here's some Advice from the Experts |
|Interview with Daryl Hulme, Vice President of Human Resources for HotJobs.com and Brenda Nixon, Career Communication Expert. |

|So you think it's time for a change. The old job just isn't providing the challenges it used to. Or maybe you are looking to move up the career ladder. Now |
|is a great time to make the leap. Not only is the economy strong, but you can look and apply for jobs all over the globe withoutever leaving your computer.|
|With all of the online job resources available, it's hard to know how to begin. We sought the advice of Daryl Hulme, Vice President of Human Resources for |
|HotJobs.com, an online job board, and career communication expert Brenda Nixon. Nixon developed the content for WinWay PayRaise and WinWay Resume, software |
|aimed at helping the job seeker, and hasauthored several books. She is an adjunct professor for Concordia University Wisconsin in its Management and |
|Communication program for Adult Learners and the Communication Wizard at Mountain Systems, Inc. Here is what they had to say. |

|NIXON: Many blind e-mails suffer the same fateas blind letters that are snail-mailed. . . they are trashed without opening them. However, if you find a |
|company that you are interested in applying to, learn all you can about the company BEFORE sending them an e-mail. Include something in the subject line of |
|your message that will entice the recipient to open your message. Bad idea: "Resume enclosed." Great idea: "Results-orientedsales achiever available." |
|HULME: In general, people tend to be less formal when using e-mail. This tendency carries over to candidates applying for positions via e-mail. But the old |
|adage that says, "You only have one chance to make a first impression," still applies. So I think it's important for candidates to ensure that their on-line|
|application sends the message that they intend...
