Abstract

In a field study we examined the use of online tools and services for job-hunting by students and faculty members at higher academic institutions. The survey results identify significant strengths and weaknesses of different facets of online tools and services when used in the job searching process. We find that students from some disciplines are more adept than others at effective use of online tools and services. Even though the overwhelming majority of participants identified themselves as heavy Internet users, there seemed to be a general lack of awareness of some developing web technologies such as e-portfolios. The article's findings we hope to contribute to more research into the development of an online platform which integrates the different facets of online tools and services found effective for online job hunting and to determine to what extent e-portfolios already satisfy the facets.
