Internet job sites kill my job search plans? Cmon! How can something so easy and convenient be a problem for me if Im dead serious about getting ahead in the job market? After all, everybody finds a job this way, right? WRONG!

OK. Youre anxious to get as much exposure as possible. Nothing wrong with that. But posting your resume on some of those popular and attractive job websites is definitely NOT the way to go . . . unless you plan to spend weeks or months looking for a job.

I suppose were all victims of do it fast and easy electronic techniques. It seems logical. The internet job sites provide global exposure for our credentials. All you have to do is wait for one or two of those millions of internet users (many of whom are employers) to discover your electronic resume.

However, mass exposure didnt work in the days before the internet. And it doesnt work now. Its really just a question of statistics. The fact is that only 7% of job hunters have found opportunities on the internet that match their credentials. Notice, I didnt say they got job offers.

Job search experts know that relying on digital job search on internet job sites can seem hopeless. This doesnt mean that every so often someone hits. But youre more likely to get struck by lightning or win the lottery. There has to be a better way!
