Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult Career and Vocational Education Columbus OH. Job Search Methods for the 21st Century. ERIC Digest No. 207. During the past several years, the job hunt has changed. The World Wide Web has become an important source for job information and career development (Brown 1998; Wagner 1996, 1998, 1999). This Digest combines updates of LOCATING JOB INFORMATION. ERIC DIGEST NO. 85 (Wagner 1989) and JOB SEARCH METHODS. ERIC DIGEST NO. 121 (Wagner 1992). THE JOB SEARCH The first step in looking for a job is to decide what type of a job you are looking for. Determine what skills you have that are marketable and match them with available jobs. A variety of methods for determining what job is best for you are described by Athanasou and Hoskiug (1998), Carney and Wells (1994), and Martin (1998). Job leads can be found through employment agencies, career centers, the public library, the newspaper, on the Internet, and through networking. It may be necessary to use more than one method when looking for a job ("Tips on Finding and Getting a Job" 1998). Many public libraries, universities and colleges, and high schools have job/career/occupational centers that include a variety of books and materials related to the job search. Information about choosing the right career, finding information about available jobs, applying for jobs (application, resumes, and cover letters), and interviewing will be available at these centers. Although titles may vary, these agencies will all have materials similar to those listed here. In addition, they may have people who can assist you either in workshops or on a one-to-one basis.

Extractions: Information on job vacancies with the Federal Government and the Postal Service is provided free of charge. However, many Americans are victimized by scam artists selling information about Federal job opportunities. These scam artists place classified advertisements in newspapers, magazines and periodicals offeringfor a feeto help job seekers locate and apply for Federal jobs. Some companies go so far as to use names that imply affiliation with the Federal Government, such as the "U.S. Agency for Career Advancement," or "Postal Employment Service." Many of these companies advertise the availability of large numbers of Federal jobs in local areas, while in reality few or none may actually exist. For example, the Postal Service has few vacancies for permanent, full-time jobs. Postal Service hiring takes place through 85 district offices at the local level. Openings are announced for a very short time. Your local post office is the best source of information concerning current or anticipated openings. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Federal Employment Information System is the official source for employment information and contains Federal job listings as well as some state, local government and private sector listings. Remember, information about Federal job opportunities is available to the public free of charge, with the exception of local phone company charges for long distance calls. Federal agencies and the Postal Service never charge for applications, sell study guides for examinations, or guarantee that you will be hired. If an examination is required, the agency administering the examination typically offers free sample questions to applicants scheduled for the examination.

He has been particularly committed to protecting the salaries and benefits of Federal employees. Federal employees work side-by-side with our military doing the critical work of the Nation, including ensuring the safety of our citizens. Numerous Federal civilian employees joined forces with their military colleagues to form disaster response teams on September 11th and to respond to the anthrax attacks and the Ricin scare in the Senate office buildings. Now more than ever, an efficient and effective Federal Government requires this kind of civilian/military collaboration. From fighting off attacks on salary increases Federal employees deserve, to safeguarding the benefits of retirees and current employees, to protecting Federal jobs from outsourcing, Senator Sarbanes has worked consistently to protect and support the vital interests of the Nation's Federal workers. An overview of his record on these and other issues of importance to Federal employees and retirees is set forth below.
