Here is a good source of jobs I recently found called EmploymentCrossing that I do not think anyone knows about. From what I have been told EmploymentCrossing researches all of the jobs from other job boards and employer websites and puts them all its site.

This includes all jobs from every job board, jobs from association websites and jobs from newspaper help wanted ads.

The site does not really advertise at all so I do not think anyone knows about it. It is a lot different than Indeed, SimplyHired and other sites like that because it just does research of the jobs and shows you what is out there. Other sites are charging employers to post jobs which really limits your options … I got like six interviews from the site in less than a week and was not having luck on major job boards.

I noticed that a few of the jobs I applied to seemed to potentially have been expired because I have not heard back from the employers after over a week. Other than this I like the EmploymentCrossing site a lot. I know other people that have had excellent results with it but many people are afraid to use it due to the cost. When I signed up there was a free trial but I am not sure that is there anymore. If there is a free trial I would definetely check it out because there is nothing to lose.

-employers do not use recruiters in recessions because they cost money
-job boards are flooded with applicants

People just do not look for jobs on employer websites. There are thousands of employer websites in most cities and many of the job sit on there for months without applications.

This is where most of the jobs are and I found this far more effective than other means.

I started using a research jobs site called Hound that I do not think anyone knows about because it is run by a small company that does not advertise.

All Hound.com does is show you unadvertised job openings that are not publicly advertised and are located on employer websites.

Very few people realize that most employers post their job on their own sites and not on job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. because these sites charge employers up to $500 to post a single job. In my experience (I am getting more interviews that I ever have), your chances of getting interviews and hired are much better when you are applying to jobs that are not advertised that no one knows about.

I have gotten a ton of interviews through the Hound site. If you are looking for a job I would highly recommend using Hound . What most people do not realize is that most jobs are found on employer websites and not job boards. Hound puts all of the jobs it finds from employer websiste (every Fortune 500, Inc. 500 and other company it can locate) on its site.

When you start seeing sites advertise themselves a lot that should be a warning sign of sorts because that means that lots of people will start going and applying to the jobs. I really trust Hound because it does not advertise. ]]> http://thefrugalone.com/saving-money/earn-325-apy-hsbc-savings-account/#comment-428 James Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:22:01 +0000 http://thefrugalone.com/?p=411#comment-428 Good banking deals may be a little harder to find right now, but they are still out there.

The time to move this economy will be measured in years, not quarters. Those who think we are returning to a Bull market are sorely mistaken.

Investors need Defined Risk Strategies that will perform in any market condition.
