Job Searching Resources

There are many online job boards like CareerBuilder, Monster, and HotJobs that are common places to search for jobs. Some people may be thinking that they have put their resume on every online job board and they need new resources to fuel their job search. So the question becomes what should I do next?

I recommend that you utilize every community resource. You can start with your local library. Most libraries have computers for public use. Remember to bring your flash drive so that you can save your work. They also have books on creating resumes and cover letters. The libraries I have visited are hosting career workshops and they are FREE! 

If you have a church home find out if they are running any programs for people who have suffered job loss. Many churches have career ministries that can be utilized for people who have questions. In addition to getting career information, you can get spiritually uplifted.

I also recommend that you check out your local television stations websites. They have job information from companies that post jobs directly on their website.

The goal of a successful job search is to equip yourself with as many tools as possible to land yourself an interview.
