Job hunting
Unemployment is a global problem, and losing a job is usually a bad experience. Job hunting is the
solution. If you have a job, you may be looking for something better.
There are many forums and conferences devoted to job hunting. If your potential employers have
an email address, you can send dozens of job resumes while reading the newspaper!
The Web service at http://www.discribe.ca/yourhbiz/howto/helphint.htm offers "Helpful Hints for
Home Businesses." You may also find these Web resources interesting:

Home based business opportunities may exist within areas such as desktop publishing, desktop video,
high tech equipment repair, import and export management, and professional practice management.
Learn from others in forums or conferences on related topics.
For some, the biggest challenges of being out of work is losing that day to day contact with the
people in their industry. The online world is an excellent way to stay in touch. Whatever your industry,
there are places online to hang out, learn the latest developments and stay connected.
Being a member of an online forum does not mean that you are overtly looking for a job an
activity that your current employer may not appreciate. By being there, however, you have put yourself
out there to be discovered. The discovered candidate is always more interesting than one who sends
in his resume along with 300 other applicants' resumes.
The good news is that many organizations are also having problems finding qualified candidates
for their vacant positions, and that some of them are turning to the online world for help. This is what
one of them did (from an online announcement):
Because it is difficult to locate qualified candidates for positions in special libraries and
information centers, and to help special librarians and information specialists to locate
positions, the student chapter of the Special Libraries Association at Indiana University
has formed a LISTSERV, SLAJOB, in connection with the Indiana Center for Database
Systems.
The LISTSERV, available on both the Internet and Bitnet, will help special
libraries and information centers in the sciences, industry, the arts and within public
and academic libraries to have a central location for announcing special library and
information science positions.
The LISTSERV is available to individuals or organizations that have an Internet or
Bitnet network connection. For those on the network, subscribe by sending an email
message to:
listserv@iubvm.ucs.indiana.edu
