Another challenge management is likely to encounter when managing a remote team is a lack of insight into the specific problem areas because they are not actually present where the work or action is taking place. Just as in the case with the first problem, the lack of oversight allows mistakes to be made that might have otherwise been addressed at team or project meetings on daily or weekly basis. Without this accessibility to other team members or upper management, these small mistakes (that might arise in part because of a lack of communication) could mean failure for the project if not addressed immediately. While these are just two of many possible issues that might arise when managing a virtual team, they are the most likely to cause the most significant problems and thus must be addressed early on to ensure success of the project. Without having a solid infrastructure that is heavily based on active and even daily communication, the convenience of remote project execution may not be worth it in the end.
There can be great rewards to having a team comprised of people from different ethnic and sociopolitical backgrounds, but this diversity must be handled properly by management as well as team members in order to be successful. One of the challenges that can arise in such a situation is a lack of cross-cultural understanding. It is almost natural for people of all cultures to assume that their culture is the standard and this can cause great problems in a team without proper education. In order to cope with some of the issues that can arise because of a lack of cross-cultural understanding, great care must be taken to teach team members to be accepting of others and there should also be an effort to offer outreach training as well. Without this, projects can be doomed to failure because people of different cultures will be more likely to see things differently and this could cause a great deal of tension within the team. One example of this would be a project aimed at reaching young single mothers. Some team members may feel that these women should be shunned while others feel they deserve help and acceptance.
Such a politically charged project could result in failure not because one person is right while the others are wrong, but simply because there are different culture-driven stigmas that the other side may not understand. On this note, care must be taken when assembling a team to take on politically-charged projects. Another problem that can arise is when people are from different sociopolitical backgrounds. For instance, if there is a team comprised of people who are pro-life and more situated in a lower-class background, it could be contentious to place them in the same team with those who are from an upper-class background with opposite political viewpoints. Although it is good to think that proper education of a team can help mediate or prevent these issues from arising due to sociopolitical or cultural differences, it also seems that care must be taken when placing people into teams.

Before the advent of internet-based job search technologies, job seekers were condemned to scanning local and regional newspapers in an attempt to stay on top of what new jobs were opening. Newspaper advertisements are often very short pieces about the most basic requirements for applicants and thus many seekers were not always certain about the position they were applying for until the interview process was over. In addition to this, applicants were expected to submit paper resumes via the mail or in person and did not have the option of making quick modifications of a resume on file as they do with internet technologies.
The traditional method of employment via newspapers was equally taxing for employers for several reasons as well. First of all, it was up to the individual employer to purchase the newspaper advertisement and if it was for a long period of time, this cost could add up. Furthermore, if the employer wished to look outside of his or her geographical area to widen the net, advertising costs would go even higher even though there might be a wider pool of talent to choose from. In short, the internet has offered both job seekers and employers a host of newer, more efficient modes of reaching out and has become the preferred method of looking for a job for many people. One of the reasons why so many job seekers have looked to the internet is because they can easily post a resume, modify it at will, and stay informed of the latest job postings far better than they could by scanning several newspapers or relying on other more traditional leads. Employers are also taking advantage of job search technologies as they have access to thousands of resumes that are easily searchable by any number of criteria. Aside from this obvious benefit, they now have access to far greater numbers of potentially interested job seekers from all around the world as opposed to just the reasons where they advertised locally.
Job search technologies have led to far savvier job seekers. Some of the biggest job boards such as Monster, Hot Jobs, Dice, and Career Builder allow users to customize nearly every aspect of their job search. Not only do these popular job boards allow users to post and easily edit their resumes, they also offer cutting-edge news about employment, resume writing, the interviewing process, and a host of other topics. In addition to these services, “Most online job boards also enable users to set up their own personal search agent, which delivers weekly posting updates right to their e-mail inbox” (McLean 38). The ability for job seekers to get daily or weekly information about new positions is something traditional venues could never offer.
This service, which is offered by nearly all the large job posting websites, is also beneficial because instead of spending time each day looking through want ads, even those found on individual corporate websites, the user can simply get all they need delivered directly to them. This technology allows them to narrow down the criteria of potential jobs by any number of factors including the pay scale, geographical location, and the ability to telecommute. Even though there are a surprising number of options available, it is not as complex as it sounds. It is very easy for a job seeker with minimal computer or internet skills to navigate the process. A site such as Monster.com, which is one of the largest and most popular, has only to register for free, set his or preferences, post a resume, and search for jobs based on several different search criteria. Even on sites other than Monster.com, the process is equally easy.
Monster.com and the other major job posting boards such as CareerBuilder.com are not the only options available to job seekers. New smaller companies are starting up that offer users a more complete ability to search openings. For instance, within the past year, “vertical search engines are taking input from job sites and/or job boards, newspapers, associations, and company career pages and pulling them into a single set. Accessing the information is easy as the sites provide Google-like simple search options using keyword search techniques” (Starr 47). One of the reasons sites like this are growing in popularity is because the major job posting sites are charging increasingly high fees for employers to post their available jobs. On sites like Monster.com and CareerBuilder, “employers pay a fee to list their positions, leading to a smaller database and more limited view of jobs available at any given time” (Starr 45).
These new vertical search engines look across a number of databases and are constantly refreshed with new listings are more popular now because they pick up the smaller companies that might have chosen not to go with a large expensive site like Monster. This realization by job seekers has occurred as the large sites’ listings are dwindling slightly. Also, by looking on these smaller job search sites with the vertical search capability job seekers may feel as though they are not “lost in the crowd” since Monster.com boasts of having over one million resumes in its database. Recently, some of the medium-sized job posting boards have put the vertical search technology to work for them, which has been beneficial for both employer and seeker. As one commentator notes, “Jobster includes various social networking and referral tools that can help recruiters find qualified passive job candidates that are hard to identify with traditional recruiting methods and tools” (Bender 212). In sum, with better technology comes better opportunities for job seekers. Websites such as those mentioned have offered job searchers an easy way to look for their dream job (since they can search by specific criteria) and have offered employers a chance to reach out to a large portion of the population they may have otherwise missed. By making it simple for job seekers to find what they want, the internet and new technologies in job searching are creating a whole new way of thinking about employment worldwide.
