Inspired by all the talks on the power of the Internet, one would assume you are started with your activity to search the top jobs in Malaysia. Thinking that you would get 100 pages of listings of your favorite job! You are not entirely wrong in thinking so, with the only difference that the job searches can only give you some information while hiding some.

Why are job searches not successful?

The accuracy of the number of people visiting the Internet, especially Search engines cannot be successfully reported by any research organization. By conservative estimates, about 4 million people across the world visit search engines to search something or the other. With an average of about 10% people looking for jobs, about 4,000,000 people look for jobs daily!

There lies the problem! The best job sites often lose out on the popularity race due to factors like inadequate optimization of the Web pages, and selection of improper keywords. When a user types in “job searches” in the search engine section, trust he would find gazillion results, only for him to visit couple of links appearing on the first page.

What you see first is not always the best?

You could, easily mistake the first link you see on the search page result, for it being the best listing for your job. You would have thought your job searches would have come to an end! In reality, through the entire listing, and you would understand that your job searches might have to continue a little while longer.

Remember the last time when you went looking around for a job. Trust you would have logged in to the Internet and typed the word “job searches” on another relevant keyword. If you did so, chances are that you might not have succeeded. By the way, a report on search engine terms by a marketing organization mentions that only 15% of people are satisfied with their results on job searches.

Now, you know why job searches, especially over the Internet are not entirely successful. This is not to say you would not get a job listing that you were looking for, just that the probability of that happening is low!
