The Internet isn't up to the task of helping you find a job in Asia
Article Abstract:
The Internet has provided a new medium for searching or placing job advertisements, but in Asia, the online medium is yet to offer the same benefits that it offers to users in the US. Evan Rudboeg, founder and managing director of Singapore-based Rudboeg & Rudboeg, cited his fruitless effort in recruiting for a regional programming executive through the Internet. The on-line job market caters mainly for US job hunters, while there are only a few Web sites that focus on the Asian job market.

It pays to check out the basics first before using an Internet service provider

Prospective Internet users should realize that no two service providers are alike.
