Canadians lead world in job hunting on-line by Virgina Galt (Saturday, April 5, 2003)

Tech-savvy job seekers and employers have embraced the Internet to the extent that 12 per cent of Canadians who found new employment last year cited successful Web searches as the reason, Toronto-based Drake Beam Morin-Canada Inc. said in reporting the results of a global survey.
This compares with a 3 per cent success rate worldwide and 6 per cent in the United States, said the human resources consulting firm, which surveyed 363,000 recently unemployed workers, including 7,400 Canadians.

Hard lessons for newly minted MBAs
BusinessWeek - Employment Trends (March 25, 2003)
The tough hiring market is forcing wanna-be execs to adopt aggressive and innovative tactics in the quest to land a job .
Consider the diminished fortunes of today's graduating MBAs: Record levels of debt, starting salaries that have slid by 15% or more, and fierce competition for jobs -- not only with fellow students but also with many of the still-unemployed Class of 2002.
