AB K.hiland, unit 9

I am finding the directions for this confusing and do not see the example I thought were supposed to be posted.
However I looked at About.com written by Alison Doyle who appears to be an authority who has written books and worked in the field for many years. Alison holds a bachelor's degree from Indiana University and has completed several years of employee benefit and information technology coursework. It is a 28 page article and appears to have plenty of coverage. I do not see any advertisements and the purpose seems to be solely to help people find jobs on the internet. I used google  and entered "jobs and searching online"

In ProQuest, I found and article Finding a job in the Internet Age put out by the University of North Carolina press. There are charts and graphs and a lot of footnotes. It was written by Christine Fountain from the University of Washington. While it was written in 2005, much of the info came from sources like Harvard, and the American Journal of Sociology and appear to be relevant. The purpose is to inform readers on finding jobs via the internet. Here again, plenty of coverage

The .gov was http://www.bls.gov/oco/oco20042.htm on job search methods. I used the same search words. It was written by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It was last updated December 17, 2009. The main purpose is to inform on job searching and has a mission and vision statement. I can't find who the actual author was or any citations. There are no advertisements. There was minimal coverage and seemed to be the least helpful.


.org was http://www.job-hunt.org/ with links to 18375 websites, so it certainly has no shortage of coverage, employers and resources. The purpose of the Job-Hunt.Org Web site is to provide the most comprehensive listing of employer recruiting page links, the best Internet-accessible legitimate job-search resources and services on the Web, and the best and most up-to-date advice from genuine job search and career experts.  From the beginning in 1998, the focus is on avoiding scams and protecting job seeker privacy. It was last updated 28 November 2011and has no advertising. It has the obvious purpose of helping people find work. It had the following markings to look for:
