How to Find a Great Job Using the Internet

Today I wrote on article on eHow about How to Find a Great Job Using the Internet. I was inspired to write the article, but it's exactly the system I used to find the perfect part-time job for me.

In the eHow article I go step by step through what I did, but essentially it boils down to three things:

1. Spend some time deciding exactly the kind of job you want.
2. Research job boards and perform searches for the kind of job you're looking for. Save the searches and/or have them emailed to you on a regular basis.
3. Look for job openings on the websites of employers you'd like to work for. Bookmark the websites and return to them regularly.
4. Apply for jobs that interest you and keep repeating the steps until you have a good fit.

About a year ago I found a part-time job with a consulting company that paid well and offered great flexibility of schedule. The duties were tailor-made for me and, although I couldn't have known this at the time, my boss and co-workers are great. I eventually found my job through CareerBuilder and it was following the steps above that lead me to it.

If you're looking for a new job, I wish you tons of luck. And if you're a stay-at-home parent looking to return to the workforce, I especially wish you all the best. It's sometimes intimidating to take those first steps, but it can be exciting too.
