Worthwhile Sites for Internet Job Searching
Searching the Internet for job search information can be time consuming and
misleading. This page is designed to help you quickly find internet sites that
can be valuable for a job search or in exploring careers.
This contains no secret answers or magic solutions to the challenges of
choosing a career or getting a new job. It does contain a number of links to
internet sites that really list jobs or provide solid career information. While
not a complex program, this will be most helpful to individuals comfortable with
a mouse and willing to spend time exploring these sites.
This tool can be helpful in job seeking or career decision making. In no way
is it intended to substitute for the many other components to a successful
effort.

different to the job seeker. Only through some exploration will an idividual find the sites that most suitable. Sites that are of interest can be made more easily accessed by creating a Bookmark (Firefox web browser). This is done by clicking on the menu bar option "Bookmark" when the site is open.
