Mabrour ) Subject: EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND JOB RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET Date: Tue, 5 Jul 1994 01:59:15 GMT Location: inNewYork inEastern I found this file on the Gopher Server : schoolnet.carleton.ca Gopher port : 419 EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND JOB RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET version 3 updated 5/4/94 updates done as needed keywords: employment opportunities, job resources, job listings, resume postings. All of these services are available through the Internet. You will need a full Internet account (telnet and ftp, not just mail) to access some of these services. At this time, all of these services are offered to the user at no charge; however, there might be employment services/job listings available on the Internet which do charge a fee. This is by no means a full and comprehensive list. If you find a new list or service that you think should be included, please send the name and access information (telnet, usenet, gopher, etc.) and Internet address to Margaret Riley, Circulation Librarian, WPI Gordon Library 100 Institute Road Worcester, MA 01609 mfriley@wpi.edu FAX: 508-831-5829 CONTENTS: I.

World Wide Web Resources -------------------------------- I. USENET JOB LISTINGS Access these lists through the usenet news reading system. Contact your local system administrator about access to the Usenet and what news readers you have available to you. Also, not every site carries all of these groups. Again, contact your local system administrator if you see something here you do not have locally. Before posting to any group, read the news generated there for a few days so you can get a feel for the group. Improper postings can invoke much e-mail being sent to you with comments.

SERVICES VIA TELNET CAREER CONNECTION'S ON-LINE INFORMATION SYSTEM (H.E.A.R.T) telnet career.com or telnet 157.151.160.1 (CAREER CONNECTIONS) H.E.A.R.T., "Human resources Electronic Advertising & Recruiting Tool," is a menu driven system with presentations of career opportunities. There is no charge to the job seeker at this time. This system is supported by the member companies so they may reach the most qualified candidates for their advertised positions. You can search for positions by geographic location or job title, and you can apply for jobs through this system. In order to do this, you must create a "profile," so it's best to have a copy of your resume at hand when you begin looking here. ------------------------------- III. SERVICES VIA GOPHER All of these services can be accessed through GOPHER, a menu-driven worldwide system of university and organization information systems. You can connect to gopher either through your local gopher server or by telnetting to a public gopher site. seymour.md.gov login:gopher cat.ohiolink.edu login:gopher scilibx.ucsc.edu login:INFOSLUG Once you are connected, select the menu entry Other Gophers or something similar to this, followed by All the Gopher Servers in the World. If you have a local gopher server on your system, you can try connecting directly to a gopher site by typing gopher node.domain where node.domain is the Internet address of the gopher you want to access. ACADEME THIS WEEK (THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION) The Jobs Listings from the current edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education are listed here on the day of publication. Position listings can be searched by geographic location, the Chronicle's list of job terms, or by keywords of your own choosing. This is the best source for positions with colleges and universities in the U.S., and many international institutions and research companies list positions here also. gopher chronicle.merit.com or go through the menus All the Gopher Servers/ Academe This Week/ Jobs/ ACADEMIC POSITION NETWORK (APN) The Academic Position Network (APN) is an on-line position announcement service. Announcements include faculty, administration and staff positions as well as announcements for graduate assistant and fellowship positions. The announcement remains on the network until removal instructions are received from the placing institution. All entries represent positions where searches are currently in process. The APN files may be browsed as they are organized: by country, state, or institution. The entire text may be searched using a word or combination of words separated by "and" or "or." There is no charge to browse or search the APN files by authorized Internet educational users. gopher wcni.cis.umn.edu Academic Position Network/ ONLINE CAREER CENTER (MSEN INC.) OCC is organized and operated exclusively for not-for-profit purposes. Organizations pay a membership fee to join this service for the purpose of recruiting new employees. Eligible members include industrial, corporate, institutional, health care, governmental and educational organizations. No third-party recruiters are permitted on this service, so blind listings to an OCC box are valid listings for member organizations. This service also includes the postings from the Help Wanted USA database which can be found on America Online. gopher msen.com Msen Inc/ Online Career Center/ You may, at no cost, enter your full-text resume into the OCC Internet database via email. The OCC online keyword searchable database is available to all employers who have Internet access.

If you post your resume by 5:00 p.m. EST, you many see it in the OCC database after 7:00 a.m. EST the following day. Email your resume to: occ-resumes@msen.com Your resume must be in ASCII format. The email SUBJECT: line serves as your resume title and will be the first information seen by employers when viewing your resume. Your resume will stay in the OCC database for 90 days. To extend your resume beyond 90 days, you may re-enter it at any time. Each email account number is permitted only one resume at any given time. Therefore, the most recent resume uploaded will be displayed. To change or update your resume, simply re-enter it, and the previous one will disappear. If you do not have Internet access, you may mail your typed resume (cover letter optional) to: ONLINE RESUME SERVICE 1713 Hemlock Lane Plainfield, IN 46168 Your resume will be processed (see fee schedule below) and entered online into the OCC resume database for ninety (90) days.
