I'm not saying it will be easy. Filling out online forms and posting your resume isn't any easier when you do it electronically. But, on the other hand, where else can you search through millions of job openings to find the perfect one — no matter your locale or what you want to do.

•  www.job-hunt.org. One of the biggest and best for helping you get started. Looking for a job is hard work, and looking for a career of a lifetime with a company you'll enjoy and a boss you'll want to give a Bosses Day gift to — that's REALLY hard work. This site has all the tools to make it happen. From the articles on choosing a job-search site to creating an attention-getting online resume, JobHunt.Org is a solid place to begin your quest.

•  www.resumedirector.com. I generally shy away from any site that charges for a service, unless I have had satisfactory personal experience with the site or their services. Resume Director promises to post your resume and job search information on more than 75 sites and I can tell you, as someone who has found a job or two online, if they do even half of what they promise it's worth the $60 fee they charge. I was impressed by the list of job sites included in the service; it includes many of the top spots. And don't confuse this service with those who only promise to "e-mail your resume to top recruiters." Do you really think busy headhunters will take the time to sort through hundreds of unsolicited resumes?

•  www.123-jobs.com. This is one of my favorite job-search sites. They have pretty much thought of everything you might need to know about using the Internet to look for that next job or that dream career. They've made looking through their enormous database easy by letting you search by keyword, city, state or industry. They also provide links to all manner of tools, articles and questionnaires to help you determine the exact field and future you're looking for. Plus, sign-up is easy here, so you can start searching the jobs in just a minute.

•  www.worktree.com. One of the largest job sites on the Web, work tree has millions of positions available in its database. And it is one of the very best for those seeking work outside the U.S. This one is a bit more complicated to use than some. A basic industry search only brought up two travel-related jobs, while further investigation brought up dozens more. Still, once you get the hang of it, there's no question that they list jobs for everyone. They also have a job-seekers toolbox of tips about resumes, interviews, cover letters, salary negotiations.

•  www.employment911.com. Employment 911 lets you search over 100 major job sites with 3 million jobs — all in just one click. Unlike many search sites, 911 lets you actually see the jobs before you sign up, so you can see if you think it's worth your time. One annoyance: If your computer is set to allow popups, you'll get a bunch of them here.

•  www.rileyguide.com. The Riley Guide puts it all together — helps, how tos, what to look for, what to avoid, how to find exactly what you're looking for and why you shouldn't settle. There are hundreds of pages of well written. If you don't think you need all the advice, skip straight to the job listings, which are divided, into logical categories. The site is updated daily. If you're new to Internet networking — this may well be the best place to begin.
