Extractions: February 1999 Applying for Jobs Online A lesson in communicating electronically ... by Rebecca Smith A job-seeker may not have control over landing the job, but he or she does have control over creating, preparing, and submitting a resume to a prospective employer. As I write this, I am reminded what Jeffrey Banks, a corporate recruiter for Microsoft, advises potential candidates: "Candidates should think about who they are applying to. I would have to question a candidate's fit for this company if they cannot communicate with me electronically." Whether you are applying online to a high technology company or a public relations firm, the specific employer you are applying to will determine how you prepare your resume before submitting it electronically. By reasonably assessing what electronic methods you will be asked to submit your resume (in terms of email systems and word processors) used by both the sender and recipient, you can prepare your resume in the appropriate file format. Chances are, you will submit (or post) your resume for computer audiences one of three ways: You will send it via e-mail; you will send it via an electronic form, or e-form; or you will create a Web page. The Internet transfers, stores, and retrieves data in units known as files. A file is a complete named collection of information. Both people and computer programs must be familiar with a few common formats in order to communicate successfully. File formats exist so that applications can store and retrieve data electronically. The most familiar purpose of a file is to save the work you've done.

And as one of three men among 25 women, he always had a willing audience. But more often than not, I was the audience. Storytelling was not my forte, but listening was, and I listened well and deeply. What I heard was the sound of a soul unraveling, and it touched off a chord that reverberated endlessly in my own emptiness. I became his confidante and, eventually, his lover.

Extractions: Searching Indexes and Databases Searching for information on one particular topic is relatively easy: just look up the term you are interested in. But if you want to find sources that discuss a particular set of different topics, it can be time consuming to look up and make lists of all the sources on each individual topic and then pick out those sources which are on all the lists. Also, not being familiar with the specific vocabulary or standard subject terms used for the topic can present difficulties when you do not know what terms to look up (e.g. does the index use "elderly," "senior citizens," or "aged"?). But there are a few tricks to get around these problems when searching for information on a computer database. Here are some common searching techniques which offer powerful tools for quickly and accurately broadening, narrowing, or refining your search on a computer database. Most online indexes and databases have at least some of these search options, but there are often differences in how to use them, so read the help screens for the database you are using.

In many states,provinces, and regions, confidential intermediary (CI) systems are in place, and a CI will be recommended to you by your agency or by the courts, or perhaps an inquiry of yours will lead to a solicitation by an independent searcher or a recommendation from a friend, or maybe you will stop in at the Volunteer Searching Network on the Web. This post is designed to help you through the maze of choices. I have strong feelings about the use of intermediaries and I will attempt to explain my opinions in detail. I also have a great deal of respect for Independent Search Consultants and I will explain why I think the money is worth it.

Recommended Search Engines Basic Search Engine Strategies Advanced Search Engine Strategies Metacrawlers ... Summary Below we recommend three search engines. To understand why we recommend these search engines, it is necessary to review how search engines work. When you conduct a search on a search engine you are searching that search engine's database not the entire World Wide Web. A search engine matches a search to the webpages in its database. The search engine then lists the matching webpages according to relevancy, or importance. Search engines determine relevancy by analyzing the text of the matching webpages, and in the case of the better search engines, by also considering other factors such as the the size of the webpage or the number of links to the page.
