What is the probability of finding a job by using a job search.?

The probability of findinf a job by using a job search is pretty high, especially if you use a more well known job search engine, such as Monster, or Career Builder. I personally know several people who have attained jobs using Career Builder, one of these persons being my mother. These websites let you upload a resume and maintain an account with them to make things easier for you as well.

The probability of success is determined by the probability of failure and vice versa?

Yes, but only if there are only two outcomes for an experiment: success and failure. If there are more than two outcomes possible, for example Win, Draw or Lose, the outcomes have to be grouped so that the assertion in the question remains valid. Also, note that in everyday use there is a positive connotation for the word "success". This is not the case in probability theory. If you want the probability of a person being killed by a lightning strike, then success requires thaa person being killed. I somehow don't think the person would consider that a "success".
