You Can Make It Happen!

Welcome to the Virtual Job Fair Handbook. We’ve prepared it to help you apply for jobs posted online within the Virtual Job Fair which opens June 10, 2013 at midnight and ends June 14, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. The lessons start with the very basics of computer and Internet knowledge to help you even if you’re new to the online job application process. If you have great computer and Internet skills, you can skip the basics and jump to the topics that matter to you. We’ve provided information and examples to help you build an effective resume and apply for the jobs that fit your experience and skills — and get the job you want.

The Virtual Job Fair is brought to you by WorkSource and Florida State College at Jacksonville.

 

Basics of a Web Navigation

Video: Basics of Web Navigation

The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is an Internet address for a website or, in other words, the address or location of the files on the World Wide Web. The major difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet is the World Wide Web contains other forms of electronic communications, such as various wireless transmissions, cell phone traffic, text messages, Instant Messaging, proprietary databases and private company intranets.  The Internet, on the other hand, is the network of servers and providers that are accessible via web browsers and search engines.

Websites are series of documents that are connected through hyperlinks (words or images that can open a new document when clicked). Websites are stored on a web server and published on the web to be viewed on the Internet.

Common domain names:

.biz  –  business/commercial .com –  commercial company
.edu –  education .gov – government
.info – information/data  .mil – military   
.net  – network/Internet provider  .org – organization/non-profit
.br – Brazil,  .ca – Canada,  .fr – France,  .mx – Mexico,  .uk – England
