• United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Projections site Home Page.
• United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook site Home Page.
• The United States Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration site provides a "find-it" list for the organization, which among other things provides a pointer back to the Parent DOL site index. DOL also has a "find-it" page of its own.

• US Department of Commerce Fed World Information Network search engine.
• US Department of Defense Civilian Jobs online home page -- phone number is 1-888-DoD-4USA.

• America's Job Bank (expires sometime in 2007 due to loss of government funding) site -- employment opportunities.
• America's Jobline site -- employment opportunities, including America's Job Bank's listing, that are spoken through a touch-tone telephone instead of read on a computer screen. This seems to be targeted at blind job seekers. This is just an information listing, it still requires a phone call to a central number (given at the time of this writing as (410 659-9314) to learn the individual phone numbers for the various states where this service is provided.
• America's Learning Exchange site -- connecting people to education and training. This site is no longer in business, but carries links to two related sites that are still operational.

• California State Government site home page.

• State of California I-Train (site) shows training providers and training type for job oriented training which the California Employment Development Department will fund in whole or in part. This is sort of awkward to navigate, but well worth the effort. Open a new browser window (so you can keep reading these instructions in this window) to the link above, then click in turn on the links labeled:
  • In Need of Training
  • Choose a Region => GO
  • Click Here to Enter
  • Training List
  [For Fresno County, California, at this writing this short cut is equivalent to doing all of the above, but links described this way don't stay valid for very long!]

• Fresno County Free Library, Fresno County Resources Online Directory site Fresno County employment services, job training, and other resources search site. Very powerful tool.
• City of Clovis, California site home page.
• City of Fresno, California site home page.

• County of Fresno, California site home page.
• Fresno Area Workforce Investment Corporation (formerly Workforce Development Board) home page and local employment assistance links to other local organizations.

• Best Jobs U.S.A. site.
• BrassRing (formerly Westech Virtual Job Fair) site -- high tech career resource.
• Career Builder (formerly Career Path) site -- "career management for employers and job seekers" -- this is a META-search engine for job ads, which means that it searches a lot of other job ad posting sites besides its own, with a single search, and returns the results in a nice format -- an essential job ad search tool for the job seeker, but not a resume posting site.
• Careerjet site -- "Careerjet is an employment search engine for the United States. It allows you to search a growing selection of jobsites in one go saving you the trouble of having to go to each site individually."
  A nicely organized site that allows usual employer and job seeker activities, also supports job search "by category". For example, my Information Technology interest showed almost 5000 job available in that category when I tested the site.
• Career Mosaic site -- resource for employers and job seekers. (Actually ends up at the Headhunter.net site.)
• Career Magazine site -- this is a very impressive site in terms of functionality and well thought design, though the top of their pages is a bit busy to get past when you just want to read the search results.

• Dice site -- high tech jobs for computer professionals.
• The FlipDog.com site offers resume posting and job search and resume search services, plus a cute logo.
• Get a Job site -- not recommended, trashes out your screen with popup windows. Alternate HotJobs master site to which it leads in a frames environment is just as bad.
• The Global Career Center.Com site offers full service job seeker and employer resume and job ad posting and searching services, plus some extra goodies for the job seeker. Its main focus is international jobs.
• Hire Quality site. This site is now live, but it is a total waste of time! It just provides a list of canned "searches" that really only present you with a set of paid advertising. Being told, when searching for "job", that eBay was willing to sell me one was typical.
• Indeed site -- accepts a job title and zip code, returns job listings local to that zip code; clean, simple, nice, effective.
• Internet Help Wanted site -- nice clean site.
• Internet Job Locator site -- pretty wimpy.
• Job Options (formerly E*Span) resume data base site
• Job Bank site -- employment and resume information for employers and job seekers.
• JOBcentral (replaces America's Job Bank which expires in 2007) site US national resume and job ad site.

• The Jobsearchlink*com resume posting site so far only points to other job ad search sites, but has a nice list of them. It is otherwise a pretty full service site with one unusual feature: the ability to block up to ten employers from seeing your resume. It also lists some jobsearch articles of interest to read on its home page.
• Job Star site -- California Job Search Guide

• The Job Square site provides full resume posting and job search facilities, with a clean layout and a very effective search engine.

• Lycos Guide: Careers site resume posting and job ad search site.
• IMDiversity.com Diversity Job Bank (formerly Minorities Job Bank) site home page.
• The monster.com (formerly The Monster Board) site -- for employers and job seekers, network for careers, resume posting. Has a great resume entry engine that makes a prettily formatted resume without a lot of effort.

• California +Jobs site home page. Nice site dedicated to jobs in California. Being able to see the entire jobs list sequentially is a good feature, though it may not be practical as the site grows larger; this lets you find jobs with names you might not otherwise guess. Full service job ad and resume posting site.
• Central Valley Jobs site home page.
• HotJobs.com a special site search limited to California.
• Public libraries in California provide the Jobsmart.org site with a wealth of easily used resources, and job specifics for Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco.

• Senior IT Folk job search site.
• The NerdsWanted.com job search and resume posting site seems oriented mostly toward technical jobs, but comes up with lots when their site is searched.
• Silicon Valley Job Source site home page.
• TechExpo "Top Secret" puts on conventions for seekers of jobs requiring security clearances, but their site often has ways to apply for the same jobs online for those who cannot attend the conventions. They occasionally hold one of their conventions in California.

• Valley Hiring Network site covering the San Joaquin Valley (Fresno, Merced, Visalia, Madera, Tulare and Hanford).
• The VetJobs site specializes in jobs for US Veterans (plus spouses and dependents), but is otherwise a full service resume and job ad posting and search site for employers and jobseekers. It is sponsered by the US Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) organization, with its own site as marked.

• Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary online site will help pick a spelling for a word if you put in one close enough.

Here you can learn about employers both to see if you'd like to work for them, and also to prepare you for interviews so you'll know something about the employers beyond their name.

• CollegeGrad.com link list to employer information tools. Several huge databases of employer information. Entry level jobs are a main emphasis.
• Desktop Engineering Magazine has a long list. of profiles of employers in the specialized are of engineering, but they have all kinds of jobs at such companies. The list is so set up that if there are active jobs, you need to go through a job ad to see the profile, which is a bit awkward, but the profiles are well done once you get there.
• Fortune Magazine has online business pages; check out the company listings on the left side of this page.
• Hoover's Online search site for information about employers, with search tools. This is a massive, highly regarded site.
• JobFit.com participating employer lists for information about employers, organized by state. Nice concept, needs much more information entered into the existing slots in individual employer listings, but gives the basics in a well organized way.
