business opportunities: careers: job boards

COMMUNITY MATTERS

Are you looking for a job, rather than building your own business? Or are you looking to solve your hiring problems for your business? There are some wonderful resources available.

I invest some of my time as a member of the Northwest Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Board. Last year I donated $100,000 in billable time in creation of a strategic plan draft that was ultimately not used. There is a lot of useful information in that document. If you are interested in reading a copy, email me for access to it.

As a part of its development I looked at how people find jobs in the current marketplace, and how employers advertise and recruit. One of the common tools is the plethora of job posting sites.

JOB POSTING SITES FOR YOU

Here are 130 job boards relevant to job seekers in northwest Pennsylvania. The majority are of use to those looking throughout the U.S., and some internationally.

It’s unfortunate that there is no one comprehensive site showing all listings.

If you want more information on the job market, whether for employers or employees, leave a comment in our related blog post, and we’ll provide further useful resources and analysis.

WHICH LISTING SERVICE HELPED YOU? ARE ANY A RIP-OFF?

Whether you’re an employer or employee, which of these job boards have you explored? Which were of any value to you? Should any of these sites be removed from our list? Next week we’ll post a simple survey for you to complete and share your experience with others. When we have some results, we’ll let everyone see which job boards receive the highest ratings. Thanks.
