What are the best sites to find local jobs?

Answer:
Opening up a world of opportunities, today’s

Internet gives job-seekers a chance to learn about the newest job listings and post a resume online in a fraction of the time it took five years ago. No more searching daily classifieds or relying on word-of- mouth suggestions to lead a person to employment.

The trick is to find employment close to home, especially with fluctuating gas prices and time-consuming drives from suburban areas to urban centers. That’s why local online job listings have become so valuable to job-seekers.

Each online site varies, some asking for information to help the applicant target a specific job or profession in a certain area, while others open up all available job listings in a particular location. According to one source, there are several top online sites registering local listings as part of their employment offerings:

· Monster.com
· Careerbuilder.com
· Jobcentral.com (a national labor exchange)
· Job.com
· SimplyHired.com
· Yahoo!hotjobs.com
· CollegeRecruiter.com
· TrueCareers.com
· Indeed.com
· TheLadders.com
· Quintcareers.com

Its also recommended applicants explore niche job sites by industry or location. Check, too, on job listings with specific companies, career centers and employers that capture your interest.
