Press Release Summary = Hawthorn, Australia 6 November 2006---More and more hiring
managers are favouring the traditional paper method over online applications. Paper
résumés, mailed or faxed cover letters are still alive though, and no doubt
companies still accept them, but when applicants really want to be aggressive and
in-demand in the eyes of their prospective employers, online job applications send
the right message.

the right message.

Offices are going paperless in recent years, as we become more and more dependent on
the Internet. Besides being eco-friendly, the paper sweep is also geared towards
less clutter, more organised workspace, and more efficient data processing.
Companies now rely on online classifieds like OzFreeOnline or HR databases like
Great Plains to organise their job searches, resume retrieval and storage, and
application processing.

Another reason why employers respond more positively to online job applicants is
that they perceive people who use the Internet as dynamic, hip, multi-taskers, and
urgent go-getters, specifically because they entrusted their application to
technology. In this age where everything is Internet-assisted, there is simply no
reason why anyone shouldn't take advantage of free and instant résumé posting (or in
the case of employers, free job vacancy posting) in job search sites.

Job search websites like OzFreeOnline, for instance, which caters to Australia and
New Zealand, features free membership for both employers and applicants. With the
site's free posting, they can post résumés and vacancies and instantly gain wide
exposure. Especially for a country experiencing chronic skills shortage, job search
sites like OzFreeOnline help connect applicants with the right job for them.

One thing is for sure: online job application is alive more than ever and it is href
