CAREER RESOURCES (updated 7/15/08)

These links are placed here for the benefit of my friends who are seeking career resources.  They are useful for conducting a search, tweaking the resume, preparing for an interview, and following up afterwards.  I'm always looking for good additions!

Job Search Websites

www.indeed.com - I really like this one for its simplicity and thoroughness.  With this one, simple, Google-like search, you are accessing all the major job boards and company sites.  Remember to set up those daily alerts to your email account.
SimplyHired - Similar to indeed.com, SimplyHired reaches across many job posting resources and organizes the results by company name and location.
Wall Street Journal's Career Journal - Articles, job searches, resume posting.  Note, if you are interested in theladders.com (see below), you can usually find a link for a discount or a free trial.
The Ladders - This site is know as the marketplace for $100K+ jobs.  In their model, candidates pay to search and post their resumes....this is a good measure of one's seriousness about the job market.  Their are actually different ladders; HR, Operations, Finance, etc.
geebo - This one seems to be growing in popularity.  This is a link directly to the Orlando search.
jobs.net - This is a link to Orlando jobs organized by category (e.g., executive, education, etc.).
Linkedin - Has a job search that also highlights openings within your "network."
And the usual ones....Monster....Careerbuilder....HotJobs
