The job search process has changed dramatically over the past twenty years. The hiring process has experienced just as much change over the same period of time. What happened? As you may have guessed, the Internet has changed the way workers look for jobs and the way employers look for workers. This evolution has proved to be exciting for people on both sides.
The Internet has also created an entire business built around job postings. Newspapers and trade magazines used to have this business cornered. If a company needed to get the word out about an open position, the recruiters would post advertisements in local and national newspapers. Some companies would place ads in trade publications and others would use headhunters and search firms.
