100 Top Internet Job Sites

Those entering the culture of the Internet should familiarize themselves with online etiquette, also known as "netiquette." These conventions are not clearly defined; time provides the best examples for Internet users to follow. Netiquette includes the proper use of capitalization, proper methods of marketing (as opposed to bulk emailing, or "spamming"), and ensuring that messages pertain to the current discussion. Users who intend to employ the Internet as a business tool must acquaint themselves with this knowledge quickly. Without this information, they will encounter little respect or tolerance from veteran users. If you are attempting to show prospective employers your technology savvy, you need to learn how to act appropriately.

DON'T include in a mail message anything you wouldn?t put on a Times Square billboard.
DON'T send chain letters. They're obnoxious, they waste valuable time and space, and your ISP may delete your account as a result.
DON'T pass on information about viruses unless if you have first checked to make sure they are not hoaxes (urbanlegends.about.com is a great resource!).
DON'T send transmitting large amounts of unsolicited information/bulk email ("SPAM") to people. You may lose your account as a result of this action.
DON'T flame. Flaming is strongly criticizing or "picking a fight" with another user.
DO follow the same ethics and legal guidelines you observe off the Net. Plagiarism, pornography, and slamming are still plagiarism, pornography, and slamming--online.
DO keep confidences. Do not quote a personal letter in a posting to a group of people without first requesting permission from the original sender.
DO respect others' right to privacy, and do not pester them for personal information such as sex, age, or location.
DO use a combination of upper and lower case. TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED "SHOUTING."
DO keep signature files (automatic identifiers at the end of a message) and emoticons (smilies) to a minimum!
