• Start-ups are not a good place to look.
• One place to look is among successful dot-coms,
  such as Travelocity, Expedia (Nasdaq EXPE) or
  eBay (Nasdaq EBAY). Those companies are not
  really creating new positions, but they are doing
  replacement hiring.
• Second-tier mail-order companies, such as
  Williams-Sonoma (NYSE WSM) and Smith Hawken,
  also need employees with e-commerce expertise as
  they move their successful catalog businesses
  online.

• For the same reason, traditional retailers like
  Wal-Mart (NYSE WMT) and Target also need
  e-commerce gurus and other staff skilled in
  online business initiatives.
• Well-rounded workers who can wear many hats in a
  company that has already stripped bare its
  employee ranks are more attractive to employers.
  
• And people with experience in "multichannel
  activities, online marketing that drives in-store
  sales" are at a premium.
