For many jobseekers,
their foremost job search strategy is to surf the job portals – daily, and
often for hours-on-end.
But this is not
something every jobseeker can do or even need to do. All over the world, there
are millions of jobseekers whose only access to internet is from a cybercafé –
and once a week !
Now a day, nearly all
job portals send job alert emails on a daily / weekly basis.
Then there are some
portals which deliver SMS job alerts on mobile and even enable a jobseeker to “
Apply “ against any alert , directly from mobile – eliminating the need to surf
/ log-in.
There is hardly a
jobseeker who does not have a mobile !
If this trend
accelerates, online job searching may not remain the foremost job search
strategy.
