The Online Searcher: Education and Training Available to Purchase

Several years ago, Online magazine described the necessary qualifications for an Online Search Analyst. They included: massive intellect, above average mechanical acumen for working with electronic equipment, self confidence, perseverance, imagination, online training, good spelling, good skills, patience, a cheerful disposition, and a sense of humor. In short, everything but the ability to leap tall buildings at a single bound. When friends learn that I am an online searcher, they often ask what that is. But they usually aren't satisfied with my answer, “one who searches online.”
