There’s no question the internet has massively changed the way we search for jobs.
Back in the 1970s, a typical job search meant scouring classified ads in the newspaper and putting on your best business attire to hand out individually typed resumes in person.
This was how it was 51 years ago today on July 29, 1974, just days before the resignation of President Nixon. Little did anyone know that this thing called the internet was quietly brewing.
It was on that day that two researchers laid the groundwork for the internet with a paper introducing TCP/IP: the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol. These two systems work together to move data between computers. Without it, there would be no internet as we know it, and you would still be hitting the pavement and awkwardly asking receptionists face to face if they had any available positions.
The internet started simple, by breaking it down into steps, and making sure nothing gets lost along the way. The same rules apply to job hunting.

Partner Spotlight
Crossbeam is the first and largest Ecosystem-Led Growth platform.
The remote-first company acts as an escrow service for data, allowing companies to find overlapping customers and prospects with their partners while keeping the rest of their data private and secure.
Companies use this data to sell more effectively, market to the right audiences, build the right products, collaborate with their service partners, generate demand, inform M&A, and more. This has created an entirely new way of doing business called “Ecosystem-Led Growth” or ELG — and it works: 40% of Crossbeam’s customers’ closed deals come from their ecosystem.
