What about answering Internet ads? That's what people—and the press—mean when they talk about an Internet job search.

      Remember that there are still four basic techniques for getting interviews in your target market: networking, direct contact, answering ads or contacting search firms. Only 10% of all jobs are filled through search firms, and 10% through ads—whether those appear in print or on-line. If a technique results in meetings for you, then that technique is working.

      The headlines don't scream about common experiences that fizzle. Fortune magazine reported that one search firm site attracted 250,000 people who each spent about three hours filling out a form. Only 70 of them ended up with jobs! Perhaps five times the 70—or 350 people—out of 250,000 got meetings. Those are the odds.

      Should you answer ads on-line? Sure. But if you are really interested in that company, also try to get in through networking or through contacting the company directly. Use ads to learn more about the company, to better position yourself for the industries and fields you are targeting and to learn the jargon and trends in the field.

      Journalists don't talk about what a great research tool the Internet is, but that's the best thing about it!
