The search for a job can be one of the most stressful, overwhelming and terrifying things you will ever do in your life. It can be especially tough if the economy is struggling and you no longer have a source of income other than unemployment or that of a spouse or partner. On the bright side however, searching for a job has become much easier in the day and age of the Internet and social networking. You can reach out to former friends, classmates or colleagues you may have never been able to connect with some ten years ago. The most important thing to remember in your job search is that you need to use all your contacts, connections and resources instead of simply focusing on searching and applying for jobs posted on Monster, Career Builder or in your local newspaper. The jobs that make their way into large websites or publications are much harder to achieve than those through a contact. Employers would much rather hire someone that a person they trust can vouch for than someone they have never met, no matter how impressive their resume may be. In our directory on job search we publish information on the entire process from creating a target list, to using personal connections and networking throughout the city you wish to garner a job. You may find links to job sites on the web and information on how to better locate a job in your specific field.
