Blog Prompt #8

 In today's world it's hard to imagine doing anything without first involving the internet in some way. Even a task as simple as going to the grocery store often begins with a Google Maps search for the closest store. The search for a new job is no different. Websites like Glassdoor, Indeed, Monster, and others allow companies to quickly post their available jobs to the web, where it can reach a mass audience in seconds. Before, companies would be lucky to have a job posting reach farther than a local news paper or radio station. I personally have had the most experience with Indeed.com. I found a majority of my long-terms jobs there, as well as used its resume building tools. I also have found it useful when trying to compare available salaries, positions, or benefits to jobs I held at the time. The resume tool has by far served me the most, as it not only helps give you ideas for what to add, but it also then can automatically use the information within it to recommend you jobs or directly contact jobs on your behalf. By pulling key details from your resume, the website can determine which companies are looking for candidates with your specific skills. I also found the trade school program I currently am enrolled in. These websites offer countless tools and programs for people in all stages of their career journey to take advantage of.
