Re: So
said by Ahrenl  : And before you bring the utility argument, please understand that it is not possible to get a job that pays above the poverty level without an internet connection. At least not in the Urban/Suburban areas. Good god - BS galore... |

| When's the last time you changed professions or hired someone?
While on occasion I've been handed a resume from a colleague as reference (which was emailed itself, and thus facilitated the reference), I've actually never hired (or heard of someone being hired) someone who was not posted through the network.
But of course, you know all.. |

| Ummm - my father got a job without needing a resume online (actually 2 jobs) and then there are job fairs... Really - a internet connections is NOT mandatory - a lot of the professional jobs that are gotten are via friends and collegues and not online. My IL's (father, mother, sister and brother) never had their resume's online nor did that have to email it - there is a things called phones and mail - still commonly used everyday.
While the internet makes it easier - it is hardly mandatory.
I just used common sense that is all... |

North Andover, MA | Well, experience tends to make common sense useful. Without further information, your post doesn't even count as ancedotal. Job fairs? You really have no idea do you. |

Bloom County | No more anecdotal than yours and yes - we have a LOT of job fairs in this area with 2 universities and a major AFB. |
