The career placement center referred her to JOBTRAK, an internet site listing 45, ooo positions. Casebeer selected four keywords: Chicago, business, marketing and full-time. Immediately she found 45 jobs meeting her criteria(标准), including one as an assistant to an administrator at the university of Chicago’s business school. Four weeks later she was hired at a starting salary of $ 32,000. “I had no training,”says Casebeer.“but the Internet was extremely easy to use. I’d never have known about this job without it.” Casebeer is one American who clicked her way into a job. Steven Toole is another. Toole came across an employment site named Career-Builder.

C, and Guam, have their local job banks available online, too. “The Internet is a wonderful place to explore, especially when combined with traditional job-search methods,”notes Richard Nelson, author of What Color Is Your parachute? 1.
