THINGS TO DO, PITFALLS TO AVOID

     Millions of jobs are listed online, which is both good and bad, because those fish-filled waters are riddled with sharks. The JOB-HUNT website has some excellent tips and warnings. Do take a look at the articles listed at the top of its lefthand steering column. They are simply excellent. Even if you’re an experienced online job hunter, you will get some good pointers on maneuvering through the shark infested waters.

LOOKING FOR AN EXECUTIVE POSITION?

     Go to RECRUITER REDBOOK to locate the right executive recruiter for you. You do not have to be actively searching to do this; a good recruiter simply wants to know who’s out there and may be interested in a job one day.

BEST PAYING JOBS FOR NON-COLLEGE GRADUATES

     Someone worked up a chart showing the areas of the U.S. that have the best-paying jobs for those WITHOUT a four-year college degree. The first map, in red, showed mostly the East Coast and California. But scroll down, down to the map in green. That one shows best-paying jobs after the cost of living is factored in. It is very different.
