Right now everyone is jobhunting online, like to share with other forumers your experience in this trend?

Newspapers is too slow. Slow not in term of response but in term of searching the job we want. Page by page, damn slow.

If I find job online, it's easier since I can do filter according to what I want..and don't know why i feel it's easier coz alot more ads compared to newspapers

I've applied all my jobs via jobstreet. When it comes to submission, you can choose to send directly to the supplied e-mail, or send a hard copy. I normally send a hard copy.. There's of course, pros and cons of doing so. There's a chance the resume may wind up as part of the paper stack on the table and be lost in it..

find your job via jobstreet is quite fast i think. But you need to try with "conventional" method too --> newspaper


if send the resume by email, they can "easily" delete the mail , sometimes hard copy is safer.

i prefer sending resume thru email last time. At least to show them i am computer literate

I will do both, send to email and send hardcopy through snail mail as I would not take the risk he/she will delete the info online or either lost my paper resume.

I like your way. Play safe

I have also thought of sending via multiple means, but I was warned against doing so as it may:

1) Confuse the HR on the other end
2) Make you look desperate

hahaha but online faster ...make u deal faster

I will say use email, poslaju, and call them as well. If possible go to their office and hand them your resume, they might hv a form for you to fill up.

jobstreet... yeah very fast, fast till each job have 1000+ applicants, my 3rd class degree, really cannot compete, i will b the first one kena filtered out first.

I only apply online. Either through jobstreet and apply there or through papers and email them. Coudn't be bothered to send by normal mail since theres no post office near by. And so far I get some pretty good offers too.

Yes, it will make you desperate but no choice! We have to do that to get HR attention Do you know even trainees sent multiple resumes to my company ?

which is easier to get an interview offer? through newspaper or online?

i'd say do both. so wat if it shows that ur despo for jobs?! big deal. ur looking for jobs wat. why be ashame of it?! but most likely, those posts that u applied online might call u 1st.
