Finding a Job

Here is a list we've compiled of the top search engines on the internet. A quick note, many of these sites will over lap each other.

If you find a position within one of these sites, go directly into the company that is hiring and find the job posting at the company's website. This will ensure that your resume is going directly to their Human Resources Department.

Many headhunters will have job postings on these sites. Take into careful consideration on whether or not you want to work with a headhunter or search firm. Most headhunters only fill 3 -5% of the job openings. You also don't want to give your resume to a headhunter who is going to blast it out to companies all over the US, why? Because you want to submit your resume to these companies! If a headhunter does contact you, and you decide to allow them to submit your resume to a company, make sure that they understand that they are only allowed to submit it to that ONE company. What you DON'T want to happen is a headhunter submitting your resume to a company that you've already submitted to - yes the resume will be seen twice, but the HR department will not be aware (if they use a key word selection) who sent the resume.

Nice topic for a blog as this recession/depression territory is effecting everyone around the world including parters. Nevertheless, it is bringing the best out of people by friends and family looking out for each other.

Unfortunately this is the way our financial system is setup at the moment, where every so often we get increased unemployment or the way I see it "forced vacation"
