The Dallas Morning News, February 20, 2011, edition has an article by Amy Winter, Creators Syndicate on page 1J which suggests that job seekers should look beyond local area for jobs. Listed in the article are the following job sites:
dice.com – technical jobs
computer.com – technical jobs
journalismjobs.com – writers’ jobs
creativehotlist.com – visual communication jobs
burryman.com – freelance writing jobs
idealist.org – nonprofit jobs
lawjobs.com – law jobs
ratracerebellion.com – work at home jobs (Creators Syndicate’s site)
workplacelikehome.com – work at home jobs
monster.com – general categories
careerbuilder.com – general categories
indeed.com – general categories
I recognize that there must be a thousand possible job sites; however, at least this list is a starting point. Here are a few suggestions provided by the article:
1. In the title of the position you are requesting, enter the title and a plus sign and/or the word telecommute or telecommuting.
2. Do not enter your zip code, state and other information that might place a limitation on you.
3. Other possible words to include in your application are independent contractor, work from home, offsite, virtual, remote, freelance, and anywhere.
Please share with other job seekers your experience in using any of these sites or other sites that you recommend.
Thanks! Glyn
Great idea putting the job title and the city in the job title field on all
ReplyDeletejob postings. This is definitely the most effective way for candidates to find
the exact jobs in the cities they want to work in.
