Finding work can be difficult - hours spent walking around job centres, scouring job listings in newspapers and calling prospective employers. However, with today's technology you have the most advanced form of job hunting at your fingertips - the internet. Here are 7 good reasons why getting a job online has never been easier.

1. The internet has the biggest source of job listings all combined in one place. If you know how to use it properly, it can save you time and energy and allow you to stay on top of recent job postings and be one of the first to apply. This vast amount of information is at your fingertips without you even having to leave your own home.

2. You are not limited in your search. You can conduct it at any time of day and even during the holidays. The internet is available to you 24/7/365, so you can choose the time most suited to you for looking for work.

3. You are able to widen your search more easily and you are able to look for and apply for jobs outside of your local area without the need for travelling expenses while looking. This opens up new possibilities and makes your search easier. If you find the perfect job and salary then it could be worth moving or commuting.

4. There are many sites that allow you to post your CV online. The benefit of using a site such as this is that employers continually scout the sites looking to match candidates to jobs they have. By posting your CV on a few sites and keeping them updated, you are greatly increasing your chances of someone finding you.

5. There are a vast majority of career centres online which can give you advice and help you explore career alternatives. If you aren't sure what you want to do, you can use these to your advantage to widen your options.

6. Most job sites online are divided into specific categories which makes searching for your particular line of work or interest much easier. There are even sites which specialise solely in your profession, listing jobs locally and worldwide.

7. Once you have secured an interview you are able to use the internet to your advantage to do a little research about the company you are going to. This can help greatly during the interview process. Things you can research are the background of the company, what they have achieved in the past and what their goals are for the future. This knowledge can greatly improve your chances of being successful and getting the job.
