Finding a job in today’s climate can be a traumatizing event. Not only is unemployment high, new job creation is at an all time low. But there are still good jobs out there – if you know how to find them. Here are my top ten online resources for the job seeker.
- WetFeet (wetfeet.com) – Designed primarily for recent graduates, the site offers a lot of information on the interview process, finding job openings, and putting your best foot forward.
- EmploymentSpot (employmentspot.com) – A blog based website, it offers a jobs board, news and information related to job searching and finding the perfect job.

My comment is that the links are US sites. It would have been more appropriate to list local sites. I am currently unemployed and your article caught my eye. Alas, not a big help really.
