Do u think the Internet is now being used and relied upon too much now?? I mean, now u cant even apply for jobs the old fashioned way now(which in my mind is still the best way of doing things like that). I am in the process of looking for work and now the only way to apply for work is online now, so u have 2 fill out all these online application forms and click "Submit" and then u hear no more, either by email, snail mail or even a phone call !!!

Your application just gets lost in a huge cyberspace pool!!

Ummm well I like the internet 4 my music and my porn ! But as far as getting a job,I believe U should have 2 get out there and beat the streets and put sum work in ! If an employer wants 2 hire U well U should show sum hard work looking and getting the job !'

Yeah the internet is good 4 certain applications,but not getting a job !

I mean, I am going out and banging on peoples doors, but all I get is "You have 2 apply online!!" and they hand u a card or something with a website address and email addy on it!!!!

The problem is that now, most employers want you to email/upload your resume. If your resume doesn't contain "key words" they are looking for, they overlook you. Sure, the net is a good place to search for a job, but hard as hell to actually get.

That's the response I kept getting when I was job hunting 2 years ago. Even when I would upload my resume, call them, etc., I got nothing.

Not only is this a problem, they also do major searches on you before considering you now. They know tend to look at your myspace and facebook pages, as well as look at your friends list to see who you know. All of this is taken into consideration before they call you in for an interview.
