????????去年末,甘特·雷德曼律师在找工作时偶然发现网上有一个被称作“职业建筑师”的求职资料库。他找来找去,没有找到需要的工作,但却被该网站上的“个人搜索代理”所吸引。其特点是互动性,这样访问者就可敲入一些和工作标准相关的关键词,如:地点、职位和薪水等等,然后当资料库里出现了相匹配的职位时,“代理”就会把这些信息用电子邮件发出去。雷德曼选择了关键词“法律”、“知识产权”和“华盛顿”。过了三个星期后,雷德曼接到了第一个职位空缺的通知。他说,“我挖到金子了”。他把个人简历用电子邮件寄给了雇主,接着就得到了一份驻公司律师的职务。
????????由于网上的求职招聘网站数不胜数,因此寻找可能的空缺职位变得费时又费力。而“搜索代理”避

免了人工重复性地访问数据库。不过,虽然有一个“搜索代理”已成功地为雷德曼找到了工作,就业专家们还是指出了“搜索代理”存在的问题。比如缩小搜索条件很可能对求职或应聘者不利。一位专家说,“你每回答一个问题就丧失了一次机会”。
????????寻找任何职业,都得从一个窄的概念出发,即你想要干什么,然后再去扩大它。“而这是任何程序所无法做到的”,另一位专家说,“程序都不会有隐含的求职建议”。实际上,最佳策略是把“代理”当作一种提示性服务,来及时跟踪一个特定数据库里的工作信息。当你收到电子邮件时,把它看作是提醒你该去查一查资料库的新信息了。一本求职指南的作者这样说到,“我不愿意依赖‘代理’,它只是在数据库里逐一寻找可能让我感兴趣的新东西”。
????????一些网站在“代理”的程序设计上考虑让它诱使求职者回访网站。比如,当这些求职网站的“代理”向注册用户发送信息时,只提供三种它认为最匹配的工作。而实际上,数据库里可能还有更多的匹配项,于是,求职者只得再次访问这个网站来寻找。事实上,求职者真的这样做。求职网销售副总裁塞思·皮茨说,“在我们发送新信息的当天网站访问量就会急剧上升”。
????????即使那些不找工作的人也会觉得“搜索代理”有用。一些人利用搜索代理密切关注职业市场对于自己行业的需求情况,或者收集有关薪水的信息以便和老板协商加薪时有所准备。雷德曼虽然已经愉快地就业了,但他依然保持着与“职业建筑师”网“代理”的联系。他说,“你要时刻睁大眼睛,关注这方面的信息”。使用“个人搜索代理”就意味着多了一双眼睛在为你观察留心。
