PERSONAL NOTES
• Sep 2006: Added more resume and interview resources
• Dec 2005: Added link so SimplyHired.com, a job search
aggregation site
• Jul 2005: Added links to AllStarJobs and CareerJet
• The mega-search tools from YourJobSearcher.com can
save you tons of time vs searching all the career
sites manually. You should still consider putting
your resume out on the premiere jobs sites, such
as Monster, DICE, HotJobs and ComputerJobs.com
• Always check out the cost of living in the area that
you might relocate to, and be advised that you can
live just outside a high-value area, and still have
a decent cost-of-living, without a hideous commute.
• Technical Job fairs present a great opportunity to
see what is available both in terms of job openings
and competition. Be sure to carry a good number of
resumes and business cards, and be sharp.
• Resume Blasting is highly over-rated. It's better
to have your resume sent to a few, well-targetted
potential employers, than to be broadcasted far and
wide indiscriminately.
