Looking for a Job?

If you are in the market for a job, there is no shortage of employment websites. Many even have jobs listed. Most have a lot of resumes.

As with anything you find on the big ole WWW, there are good and bad. I know I've posted about the work-at-home-and-get-rich postings before. One expects to see those in spammy emails; not on otherwise valid websites.

For those considering online employment assistance, a couple of caveats. Don't pay to post a resume! There are dozens of legitimate services that are free for job searchers. They make their money by charging employers.

Always do a search for the company posting the position. Virtually all businesses have websites and you can learn a lot. The job posting on XYZ Job Search may be out of date. Companies generally use more than one employment service and may fail to notify everyone when a position is filled.

Unless you have a background in sales, be careful and check the specifics closely. From what I can see and remember, they are risky. Working on commission generally means a lower base salary (or none at all), that might not be enough support the family.

There are jobs out there. Every day, a few more open up or are created. The situation isn't good, but it is getting better. And, with a little care, you just might find exactly what you want.
