With 52 million job hunters online, you're facing an uphill battle when it comes to efficiency. But when it comes to enjoyment we can all admit that we know how that works. Get up late, get some coffee, eat a donut, turn on the news, start the laptop, and check our email.

But we all know that high competition and a donut isn't the recipe to use if were going to succeed. Were facing a 60% increase in the number of people searching for employment online. Your competition is stiff online because on an average day there are more than 4 million people looking for work.

Statistics from the Pew Internet Project;
· 60% of online job searchers are between the ages of 18 - 29. These workers tend to change jobs often and always maintain a constant influx. A real challenge to all other job seakers.

· 42% of the online job searchers are between the ages of 30 - 49. These workers tend to maintain their employment for a longer period of time. However they tend to face the crash and burn effect when facing unemployment. Unlike the 60% category that face constant job change and are experienced at change every 1, 2 or 3 years. The 42%ers tend to take it hard when let go and facing the daunting prospect of finding a new job.

· 27% of the online job searchers are between the ages of 50 - 64. This category tends to face unemployment with more grace than the 42%ers. Because they have seen it all, they tend to be able to predict crises and adapt to circumstances easier. The reason they adapt easier is because they are in a stage in there life where they are willing and financially able to accept a new position that pays less than there used to.

Most of the online employment seekers are men by a two to one ratio, and the most likely to seek for jobs online are executives at 44%, and office workers at 49%. One of the most challenging conditions to clog the online job search market is the fact that 52% of the workforce has internet access and that’s only going to increase.
