How to use internet on your job once you get it ?

There can be many answers to this question but I will only answer through two main points.

1° In my job.
The main fact you have to consider is that it depend on the kind of job you are looking for. As I have worked in the VIDEO ON DEMAND market, my job was practical and strategic and both part needed a certain knowledge of Internet.

I've been posting videos, doing programming for the next months, providing contents and their related materials, studying the results, designig communication strategies. But the strategic part of my job consisted in studying this market thanks to Internet tools. Blogs, newsletters, information Website are crucial tools. In order to work in a such competitive market you have to find a good deal of useful blogs in order to be informed and be aware of the kind of information poeple may have access to (blogs are public and anyone can have access to them !). In one word : one have to pay attention to what the trendsetters may write or think because they may represents the feelings of the majority or influence it ! They're important in order to follow the mutation and the evolution of the society. Of course, you have to be looking for constantly for new website that may be able to rise amoung others in order to get prepared to react and face your competitors !

2°In the coporation.
As regards the collaborative aspect of Internet it's easy to point out how usefull Internet can be ! We can share documents very easily, share informations and keep in touch without having to speak together. However, you still got to keep a great amount of sheets of paper that you had to sign. As a matter of fact the corporations where I was working was keeping all the contracts and important signed document -just in case and for their archives- therefore, to my mind, the ZERO PAPER slogan is just a myth...just like e-mails : Internet is not going to be the only way of communicating ! People are still using telephones, mails and still appreciate to meet each other (through diners for instance) ! These facts changed my mind and my opinion about Internet importance in a professionnal environment.
