How to Find Job Listings
Friday August 8, 2008
I spent some time this week helping a friend look for a new job. She wasn't sure where to start, so we talked about the job search engines so she could find job listings that met her specifications fast, job sites with local listings like Craig's List, and niche job sites like MediaBistro and the New York Times Media Jobs section (she's a writer). There are lots of sites out there, and it isn't easy to know where to start, especially when you haven't looked for a job for a while. The world of job searching has changed a lot in the eight years since my friend last job searched.
To help make it a little easier, here's a list of job search engine sites, jobs listed by location and type of job, networking sites where employers and recruiters can find you, and all the other job search sites where you should be looking for job listings.

Alison, that is great advice to look locally. Based on the comments we have gotten, Local jobs is what most job seekers are looking for. After all most people go to work across town not across the country. Our over 200 local job boards give job seekers the chance to say “I am the best, Choose me!” with our online multimedia portfolio.
One piece of advice, dont limit your self to just one job board or newspaper and PLEASE don’t think that just posting or targeting your resume to an employer is going to get the job done. Get aggressive, post pictures or a video of your WORK (not you talking into a camera) then get out of your chair and call and/or visit that company you would like to work for.
