Here are the keys to successfully navigating your next job search on the Internet. Follow these simple Internet job-search rules and you should achieve success in this strategic tool of job-hunting.

• Do make job-hunting on the Internet an integral part of your job-search strategy. And do utilize all the job-hunting tools the Net offers beyond job sites.

• Don't expect the Internet to be the magic elixir that gets you a new job...perhaps as many as five percent of job-seekers find a job solely through the Internet.

• Do be sure to use all possible job sites, including the general job sites (such as our job board), as well as industry-specific sites, geographic-specific sites, and job-seeker-specific sites.

• Do take advantage of all the features each job site offers you, including posting your resume, searching (or browsing) for jobs, and registering for job search agents.

• Don't be passive in your job-search. Do post your resume and apply for jobs, but then don't just sit back -- follow-up with each potential employer.

• Do consider using online newspaper classified want ads as part of your job search strategy.

• Do take advantage of all the resources on the Internet to conduct company research.

• Don't spend all your job-hunting time in cyberspace. Integrate your Internet job search into a comprehensive job-search campaign that devotes plenty of time to traditional job-hunting techniques, such as cold-calling , developing a great resume and especially, networking.

• Do pay close attention to each employer's or recruiter's instructions for submitting your resume in response to a job posting. Should it be emailed, emailed as an attachment, faxed? What type of resume?

• Do consider using a resume distribution service. These services "blast" your resume to thousands of recruiters, headhunters, and potential employers -- for a fee.

• Don't respond to job postings that you aren't qualified for -- you're just adding to the clutter employers need to sift through -- and you're just wasting your time and the employer's time.

• Do consider putting one or more versions of your resume on the Web, giving employers 24/7 access to your credentials. And do consider developing a Web-based portfolio. Finally, do make sure you submit your Web pages to key search engines.

• Do go directly to each employer's Website and browse current job openings, review the employer's requirements, and apply to each employer directly.

• Do know key strategies for sending email cover letters. And do know how to prepare a scannable resume.

• Do take advantage of our Guides to Job-Hunting on the Internet -- one for students and one for established job-seekers -- to help you learn how to maximize your Internet job-hunting experience.
