Are you unemployed? Or, just as bad, stuck in a job that you absolutely despise?
If so, you may be wondering where is the best place to find a job?
Finding a job these days is not easy. With the state of the economy the way it is there are literally millions of unemployed looking for fewer jobs. A recent study showed that you should expect to search one or two months for every $10,000 in income you need. Therefore, a salary of $50,000 may require a five to ten month search. Unless you have a nice nest egg, that's a long time to go without a paycheck.

Start With The Internet
Your first stop should be the clearinghouses of helpful information. These sites offer valuable information and provide links to other sites. Links are provided to search job resources by state, industry, etc. A couple of examples are job-hunt.org and careerjournal.com.
The big job boards like monster.com are worth a try but it is no secret that they have millions of resume's on file. Your resume could be like a snowflake in an avalanche.
Finally, there are the aggregator sites. On these sites, you type in a job title and search by state, zip code and other criteria. Job listings are displayed from individual companies from which you can drill down to the job requirements and actually apply for the job. Some examples of these sites are indeed.com and simplyhired.com

Consider Working From Home
If you have a computer and access to the internet, working from home is a viable alternative to finding a job. You have, no doubt, heard of the many scams in the work at home industry. One observer estimated that the ratio of scams to legitimate jobs is 54 to 1! Therefore, you need to be diligent in your search. You can check the Better Business Bureau guidelines at bbb.org.
Scams aside, there are many legitimate work at home jobs such as outsourced call center jobs. If you have specialized skills, you can link up as a freelancer for website design, computer programming, blog writing, article writing and others.
Working from home has many advantages and you may begin to receive an income relatively quickly.
