Online Job Search Engines

You can search for employment through a job listing Web site by job title, job key words, and location. This is easier and quicker than scouring through the classifieds. It is also much easier to find listings if you are looking to relocate.

Once you find a job of interest, you can often directly e-mail your resumé to the company.

This service is free. Companies seeking new employees pay job listing Web sites to list the job openings.

You can also post your resumé on these sites. Some sites do not charge for this service, while others do.
