Finding where job openings are happening entails a bit of research. From websites to your local library, you will find resources to help your search. If you're looking for a particular opening in your field, search national professional organization websites for listings. Getting creative with your research will help you find job openings. Talk to your neighbors, co-workers or even people standing in line for groceries. You just never know who might know of a job that just opened up.

Websites

Online career and job websites are a place to register your resume and search databases. For instance, both Career Builders.com and Monster.com are sites catering specifically to help you find a job. Submit your resume, view employers that are hiring and write cover letters at these one-stop employment shopping sites for both the employer and employee. You go to each site, register your information and the employers find you. You submit up to five skill resumes and these sites cost you nothing. When you are a match with an employer, you receive an email. Sites such as these also give you strategies for getting hired, provide ways to write a more effective resume and have areas for advice and resources. Reading the articles help you understand job trends and the hiring market. If you are interested in job fairs online, these sites are for you. Not sure, what job you would do best? There is even a quiz to help you determine your best career path. A benefit of these websites is you can do this from your home or library and can save money in postage by sending resumes and cover letters through the postal service. If you think you might be interested in a government position, usajobs.gov has alerts, a general applicant brochure and a section to answer questions helping to understand the hiring process. Craigslist.org is another online classified listing that offers job listings in your area.

Community Information

Check local newspapers to see what job fairs are upcoming. These fairs are a good way to know what is available in your community. If there is a local hospital in your area, find out if there is a website to view its openings. Check out your city government website for any openings in your local government. Your house of worship might also have job openings.
