How DO I Find Work?

Well, there's lots of ways to look at this.

Here's a couple of things I've found from using the web to look for work.
1) Web Boards- Most if not all job site's out there have only one thing on THEIR minds - how to get employers to part with their advertising dollars to make those sites some money. Or how to get advertising dollars from Google, Yahoo etc. with click-thru Adsense revenue. So heavens forbid that these sites actually make things easy for the job searcher as all they really want is... money. Thankfully they're not after the job seeker's money, but bear in mind money is what they want. Admittedly, these ARE usually the most posted on sites for localised companies, but you will find on almost all a plethora of crazy-ass work at home/type for cash type things so beware! Those posts aren't for everyone, and will usually cause you to become one of those job site posters for Work at home/Type for Dollars posters for you to make any cash at all -
2) Aggregate sites - these have become increasingly prevalent over the past year or so, where one destination will have jobs from other boards (not necessarily ALL other boards) posted/linked into their site. This can be a great benefit to the job seeker, allowing you to search one board for your specific area/speciality without having to surf many sites. However, I have noticed that these agg sites seem to only use certain board feeds. Some don't have others, others have ones I've never heard of. All in all, a quick search through 3/4 of these sites such as Indeed will give you a good selection of postings for your desired area/speciality.
3)Specific job type sites - this is a totally different type of site that caters to specialist industries such as jobs for coders, jobs in the wine industry, jobs in - well, just about anything you can think of, there's a site out there for it!! Sites like this are really great for narrowing job searches, but that in itself IS a drawback - your only searching for those types of jobs!!

So, I'll leave it at that for today on this subject, again - look for updates regularly in the future.

So, Whats going on right now??

Hi All -

This is a new blog, and I'm guessing that there's a lot of people out there in a similar position to myself (check Profile) so I wont go into that here.
I'll Update this section regularly with current news on this front -it does seem like a war right now-and maybe it'll be of interest to you out there.
Yesterday seems like the day of gloom for the transport industry - Ford announces thousands in lay-offs at the 4 plants they're closing, Delta says it's merging with Northwest (merging= layoff's) and of course American and Continental has started cutting flights, getting rid of planes and laying off staff. (FYI - airlines in the U.S. have ALREADY cut about 22,000 jobs so far in 2008) You got to wonder how this can be supported with all the hoopla about travel being one of the "biggest growth industries" out there right now! If I was to believe it, the only home business you need right now is a travel business - but who's buying these travel packages? I don't know ANYONE who's done that simply because right now you can find a wealth of cheap flights/hotel's etc. if you look hard enough.
Today, so far, not really being too much on the work front to worry over - just more of the same.
NY Times reporting that current construction woe's are hitting latino's hardest; ADP accounting firm reporting that job's created rose in the past month, however, they always do say that!!
Current trends show that job's lost are about 46% higher on a year-by-year basis (Forbes) - so be afraid, be VERY afraid!!
That's all for now - let me know what you think!!
