Turn away!”Still closer, he screams, “You’re going to hit me! Turn away, turn away!”The next thing he knows, he’s spitting water, wondering what happened. As he looks at the ship, continuing on its course, he notices it doesn’t have a pilot.He wasted all that time shouting to

In the UK the order of the day is to have a Chinese nanny or housekeeper. This so that the young children can learn Chinese for the future. This is not a bad idea, given that China is likely to be a world economic leader for the foreseeable future and it's unlikely that the entire population of China will learn English.In previous days it was considered very smart to have a French nanny, so that the little future citizens could grow up speaking fluent French. So those forward thinking people are giving their little treasures the

Now, let's say you're a pharmacist and is looking for a new job in boston area. So you can go to www.altavista.com and conduct online job search using the following string:
url:job AND pharmacist AND contact AND position AND boston
If you use www.google.com, you don't need to type in AND since it's default operator in Google. So you can just use:
inurl:job pharmacist contact position boston
Now look at some more complicated online job search examples:
(url:(job* OR opening* OR position* OR employ*) OR title:(job* OR opening* OR position* OR employ*)) AND send AND benefits AND opening AND EOE AND contact AND "SAS programmer" AND boston
("resumes@" OR "jobs@" OR "careers@" OR "hr@" OR "human resources") AND (apply OR "send us" OR "send your" OR submit OR "fax us" OR "fax your") AND ("organic chemist" OR medicinal chemist") AND (synthesis OR synthesize)
Now you see the power of online job search? Try different key word combinations and use them in different search engines. Some links you find might be junk links, but keep trying, as long as you pick up right key word combination, you should be able to find many job opportunities that are buried in deep deep web and are ignored by other job seekers.
Happy searching.
