These are the websites and services I've referred you to in the last 2 weeks


I started this week by reminding  you to post your resume on HotJobs (so many people forget to do that these days and miss a terrific serviec used by many firms)
================================================================================================
I then pointed you to TheLadders, a website focused on professionals earning $100000 or more that lets employers post positions for free so that there is a good number of senior level positions listed.
================================================================================================
Then, I pointed you to Job.com 
 
It is a high traffic site that offers a lot of free tools and services for job hunters plus access to 1000's of employers all trying to hire.
================================================================================================
Last week, I referred you to Climber.coma site for the passive job hunter (it says it is like dating for job hunting) that will help you keep an eye out for "the job that help you fall in love again." There is an anonymous career assessment profile you complete that identifies your values, as well as your experience.
 
To check it out, go to climber.com.
================================================================================================
 
Executive Search Online is a service focused on smaller employers, growth firms and Fortune 1000 companies. It is their particular niche with smaller firms that interest me and cause me to point them to you. After all, most job growth in the US for the past 10 years  has been with smaller business, rather than with large companies.
 
The service is free in order to receive access to jobs and content. 
 
================================================================================================
SnagAJob is a site focused on hourly jobs, whether they be temp or part time.
 
It might be ideal for that family member still struggling for a summer job or the spouse who only has a few hours per day or week available for work.
 
 
=================================================================================================
 
Then for fun:
 
Restaurant.com offers a 60% discount on discount certificates for many restaurants around the US (you can search by zipcode for what's near you).
 
I also referred you to Yahoo Music for their many stations of great music.
 
 
As always, I hope these leads help you find work quickly and enjoy your day.
