LOCAL JOBS IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD
CRAIGSLIST is being used more and
more for job searches – my husband has been using it
for months to bring in new customers for his sedan business
– and he can testify that Craigslist ads really work!
CRAIGSLIST started as a no-frills
website with free listings for San Francisco area jobs and goods
for sale. It has since swept the U.S. and is now all over Europe,
Asia, Australia, Latin America . . . I don’t see any
listings for Antarctica, but that day may come. The charm of
Craigslist is that it does the same things as newspaper want ads,
but its listings are free. While eBay deals in goods that are
shipped from one location to another, Craigslist deals only in
local goods people can come to your house to pick up, and in
local jobs.

GUMTREE.COM is similar to CRAIGSLIST
but, according to the Wikipedia, it “is a network of free
online classifieds and community websites in Australia, Hong
Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, the
UK, the USA. The main categories are flat share/house share and
for rent, goods for sale, community, friends and dating, jobs and
business services.” The address below takes you to the
London GUMTREE, with connections to other cities and
countries:

CARE.COM has branches across the U.S.
and may help you find a job as: “babysitter/nanny,
tutor, senior care provider, pet care provider,
housekeeper.”

DIRECTORIES OF JOB DIRECTORIES
Below are directories listing many
job-search directories. The JOB-HUNT site mentioned previously
has some good tips for selecting a job site. Find them here:

The GOOGLE Directory of Employment
Directories is a rich source of information. (It's not at
all the same as a Google search. Google directories have many
topics and are a "hidden" Internet resource few know
about. They list only sites with an established reputation.) The
Google Directory of Employment Directories has helps for
minorities, older workers, veterans, retiring military, and many
more at all job levels. Scroll down it to find listings that
meet your special needs:

YAHOO also has a directory of job
directories, including links to corporate jobs, research jobs,
and jobs for Hispanics and African-Americans. Yahoo and
Google have a good deal of overlap, but each has unique
items.
