August 16, 2005 (The Editor’s Desk is updated each business day.) Methods of Internet job searchingReading on-line ads or job listings (92.6 percent of Internet jobseekers) was the most common Internet job search method between January and October 2003. Researching information on potential employers was a job search method of 70.2 percent of Internet jobseekers, while 57.0 percent used the Internet to submit a resume or application. Posting a resume on a job listing site or with a service was a method used by 41.0 percent of Internet jobseekers. This pattern of Internet job search was essentially the same regardless of demographic characteristics, occupation, or industry. This information is from a special supplement to the October 2003 Current Population Survey. Slightly more than 1 in every 10 individuals in the civilian noninstitutional population age 16 and over reported that they had used the Internet between January and October 2003 to search for a job.
