Searching for Jobs?
Ladies and gentlemen, you've been on the Net for quite some time now, and where are you going with it? You can FTP, work in 8 countries at the same time, and produce Home Page architecture to make your mama cry. Want a job? We got some resources for you...
The MonsterBoard, put out by a group of guys who want to put you and the life you lost on the Net to use. The logo? We're watching out for your career!" Now is that comforting or what?
To begin the career search, there's a keyword engine to search for the job you'd like by job title, discipline, location, etc. You may also look at jobs by scroll-listing. However, if you'd like to research different companies, you may do so as well, using the companies provided or specify your own. There's a resume function, and HOT RESUME How-To's, where you can learn how to post your resume on-line, and the way to get the best response. You can actually post your resume on their Resume On-Line, all info secured until an active company meets your requirements. Resume City, may be your Oz, audience.
MonsterBoard is definitely a search engine with more than just getting you information; it gets you hired.
Another engine is SearchPlex, which proved to be a bit less than we expected, but still giving bits we hadn't expected as well. (Didja follow that?) It includes those we know (i.e. Yahoo, Webcrawler, etc.), and those from the Farther Reaches of the Galaxy: Ohio State's FAQ archive, which unfortunately has a very limited search function. Still, the scrollings are pretty comprehensive. The engines aren't that new, but we did find something for youse guyses:
Want to create a search engine for your Home Page? Tired of making that tedious, labour-of-love, bloodshot-inducing index? Check out SWISH, which is Simple Web Indexing System for Humans. It's downloadable, free, and provides instructions on how to install it into your Home Page. Seen the results on a Home Page, and while it may not allow for different forms of a word (ex: feet vs. foot), it will organize your life better than any sock drawer could hope for.
And then there's that category of search engine that looks like it could give you the world, pay your bills, and call your mother every week, but has a few catches. Here's our next find, filling in at number 4 in such a category: EasyNet, providing (and we quote shamelessly) "easy access to newspapers, magazines, research reports, company information..." Sounds like the cat's meow, no? Actually, it may very well be, but Team Search Engine really doesn't know...see, it required a registration period, which took a bit of time. We figure: if it's a search engine we can find elsewhere for free, quicker, and without the fuss, we're riding on over, pronto. Because after all, you want to know what you want to know NOW NOW NOW, right? Easy, fast, and without hassle, right? Okay, maybe that's just us. But we provided the link for you all if it's just what you're hankering for. It's got a very, very pretty design; substance and presentation ranking up there. And it looks as though it's going to be changing, as well. Let us know if it is, in fact, the Genie Engine. We're all ears.
So we're sitting here, (Harvey as well, our resident Office Manager/Village Idiot/Comic Relief), and we're thinking (or a close approximation): how are we going to compile a list of all our episodes? Where can it be one-stop shopping? Can we charge like those Geraldo backtapes? So we figured out we'd do a small listing. Nothing fancy, and nothing like some of the greats (see Interlinks, now at the #1 spot in NetWatch's TopTen- Net Tools. This is a compilation of resources put out by the Critics and all the hours they spend surfin'. If you're not looking for the electric bill they're got to have racked up, but still want to use the best, check out their Top Ten lists, everything from Brainfood to Art to Software.) But we digress. So we put together the Search Engine Topical Index, with listings of stuff in backepisodes of Search Engine Central. We didn't charge, by the way. All four of our viewers voted not to pay. Democracy; gotta love it.
