Help Me Find a Job!

"I would like someone or something to help me find a job." Does this phrase ring a bell? If you are here, then I assume you are seeking employment also. It has been many years since I have been without a job. In fact, I have held a job of some type or another for the last 22 years including college. Consequently, when I suddenly found myself without a job, I was a bit rusty when it came to job searching. In addition, times have changed quite a bit. The last time I had to search for employment, not counting my current situation, the best options were to look in the newspaper, word of mouth, or to simply go out and hit the pavement. Now, of course, the internet is by far the best place to look for a job and you can very conveniently fill out most applications online. While this makes the job search much easier and much faster, there are so many job websites out there that it is easy to miss many of the sites that may not be as well-known as others.

During my search to find a job, I have come across many websites that I believe were worth registering on in order to help me find a job. Unfortunately, these sites are widely scattered and I came across most of them purely by chance. I thought it would be nice to have them all in one place and therein lies the purpose of this blog. Most of these are all sites that I have registered on and they are all free. Hopefully, this compilation will be of help to anyone else who may be utilizing the internet to find a job. Feel free to post other sites that I may have missed and I will add them to the list. Certainly one of these sites will eventually help me find a job and I hope you find employment as well.
