Maybe You Can Find Work Online
from the well,-look-at-that... dept
As the economy got bad and jobs were difficult to find, the various online job sites got flooded, and the common wisdom became that job sites were mostly useless as a way of finding a job. Now that the economy is starting to pick up again, that might be changing. Over in the UK, a new study has shown that over 10% of responders to a survey claim they've found jobs online. Not everyone thinks that online job sites are the way to go, but it appears that they're improving in just how useful they are. Update: Well, only a few hours later comes news of a study in the US showing 31.8% of new jobs were filled via the internet. Of course, the study only covered a small number of large companies, so it may not be that representative.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
