In today's electronic world, use of the Internet can be an invaluable tool. It's fast and easy, but it's not the only way to conduct a job search. When searching for employment, use the Internet in addition to other sources such as: professional and personal contacts, newspaper and magazine classified advertisements, academic and professional journals, hard copy association directories, career fairs, broadcast letters, possibly employment agencies and the Center for Career Services.

The odds of getting an interview from sending out 100 resumes and cover letters is less than 1%. The odds of being offered an interview after putting your resume into an online database is .001% (according to The Five O'Clock Club).  In other words, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. The more comprehensive your search, the better your results. Don't rely on the Internet alone.
