Web Employment Resources

by Darla Scott, STC-SRC Employment Liaison

When you're searching for new opportunities, the Web can be a valuable tool.

One search engine I use simplifies the process. Indeed.com (www.indeed.com) combines employment opportunities from major job boards, newspapers, associations and company career pages. It allows you to search by keyword and location, save your searches and have jobs delivered to you by email alert, MyYahoo, or other RSS feed readers.

Local employer sites
