Looking for a job online? Well, you are not alone. In fact, you are among the new breed of millions of job seekers who are hunting for their next job online. If someone were to argue that online job sites are little more than hot air, you only need to compare the success rate of offline job hunting efforts with that of online job hunting.

Why Search For A Job Online?

Here is a statistic to give you an idea of how big the online job industry is. Certainly it is very hard to quantify the overall number of resumes on the Internet. Monster.com has about 54 million resumes in its database and CareerBuilder.com has about 14 million. But how does this information benefit you? Here are a few key areas:

1. Jobsites have huge databases of up-to-date jobs, which allow keyword searches just like you would with a search engine for information.

2. Unlike traditional newspaper job searching, you can save your profile, resume, applied jobs, and set alerts for newly posted, categorized jobs to be emailed to you.

3. You can transmit your saved resume to any number of jobs instantaneously by turning on the auto-apply feature.

4. You are least likely to lose a new job opening (through alerts to your mailbox).

5. You get to use their resource center to refine career skills, choices and get tips on preparing for interviews. You can find highly specific job postings, such as careers in Six Sigma on online jobsites.

6. Above all, it provides functions to search by city, state and/or industry.
