I've taught job-hunting for several years and am not personally familiar with any websites that ask you a series of questions.  There are software packages that do that, but most websites just give you the various sections to fill-in, which is basically the same thing.\n\nI would suggest websites like Careerbuilder.com, Hotjobs.com, and Monster.com, which are the biggest and most popular.   Also, you state's unemployment office has a free website that allows you to post your resume.  You can easily walk into one of their offices and find out what that site is.  Microsoft Word also has a resume template that you can use.\n\nA resume should be no longer than 1 1/2 pages, preferably 1 page long, and generally includes the following sections:\n\n(1) Contact info--name, address, phone, email, voicemail\n\n(2) Objective (optional)--tells the employer what specific kind of work you want, such as Customer Service.  I generally suggest leaving this section out!  Employers are good at matching your skills to their available positions.\n\n(3) Skills--Listing of what you can do for me.  Mold this section to the type of work you want.\n\n(4) Education--Any schooling and/or on-the-job training you've had that's related to the kind of work you're seeking.\n\n(5) Work History--Your employment history.  Only list those jobs relevant to the job you're seeking.

Call and ask the companies you're thinking about applying to.   Ask the person who answers if there's any merit in coming in to drop it off.  One great thing about going in to a place is that you can ask some casual questions of people who work there already.  Remember, getting a job is two-sided: you want to pick a place that you're going to enjoy.  Judge the atmosphere as you walk in . . . is it the type of atmosphere you're looking for?  \n\nOh, and remember, in a time when some of us are receiving hundreds of resumes for one position, anything you can do to stick out in a positive manner is important.  I would still include a nice cover letter (with a name, not "to whom it may concern") with the CV.  \n\nGood luck with your search.\nGood Luck!

now that depends on the type of job youre applying for. youre talking about what you need to get a job, right? the most important thing you need is a versatile portfolio. prepare a sample of your work to show off your best stuff to a potential employer. make sure you are clear on the types of software in which you are proficient. a formal education can help but if you have learned marketable skills otherwise and can prove that with a portfolio, you will be in good shape. any sort of experience will help make you a more attractive candidate as it is rare in any profession to be able to start anywhere other than the 'bottom of the ladder.' do not, however, think that any experience is too meek to show off: let potential employers know of work you have done for friends, family, any type of group, school, publication, or other employers. pick your three to six best experiences to brag about.

Get a good resume together that has a specific job you are looking for not something vague like you want an interesting job. If you aren't specific, it will go into the trash. Go to the yellow pages and look up companies that have jobs like the one you want. Call them and ask if you can fax over your resume or ask if they are hiring people to do the job you want to do. Get a specific name to fax your resume to. Follow up in a week

Start in your local malls, movie theaters, fast food restaurants. Places you like and are familiar with as well as close to home to be more easy and quicker to get to. If you've never had a job before, make a list of places you've volunteered at or activities you've participated in school. Also, make a list of people (references) you can use if someone wants to check out your experience, character, etc...Keep all information written down and with you whenever you hunt for a job. Dress properly, not like you're hanging out with friends and by all means don't job hunt with friends. It doesn't look good to the employers. Good luck!!

Get out the yellow pages and call companies in your field and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. You can follow up in a week with a call to that person. Take a look at your resume. Is it full of gobbledegook about you are looking for a meaningful job or discusses your character instead of what work you can do? Employers want to see a specific job objective like to find a sales trainee position where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Stuff about finding a meaningful job goes in the garbage esp if you can't say what kind of job you are looking for. You should also be telling everyone you knows including relatives that you are looking for a job. Also apply for civil service jobs and look on the websites of the school systems

Forget any other answers - the best website for job searching is\nhttp://www.craigslist.org/\n\nYou can job browse by city and then by category - and it's not like Monster - you have better chances of actually hearing back from somebody.\n\nI have gotten 3 different jobs here.. and out of like 20 emailed jobs you will hear back from at least 5.. unlike Monster where you can email 100 and hear from 1

Two great online sites you can use are:\n\nhttp://www.monster.com/\n\nOr;\n\nhttp://www.hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nOr;\n\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com/Default.aspx\n\nCareerbuilder and Monster are the most popular online job search sites for both employees and employers.\n\nOther than those check the work needed section of the paper, or some of the green sheets that many stores have available. However I would consider Monster or Careerbuilder, they can probably help you in your search and even screen poor applications out.\n\nGood Luck in your search for a couple of good employees!

Hi,  \n\n   The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.\n\n    Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.\n\n    Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.\n\n    Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.\n\n    Organization -- I am the lead developer of a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com \n\nGood Luck,\n\nMichael\n\n    http://indeed.com\n    http://job-hunt.org\n    http://jobsearchlog.com

Most restaurants and retail stores are always looking for cashiers.  You could just go up to them and ask for an application.  Otherwise, your local newspaper will have classifieds with job advertisements.\n\nTo find them online, you can do a search for local newspapers to see if they print it online with classifieds.  There are also several job search sites out there like http://www.monster.com and http://www.careerbuilder.com

Rather than one single effective way, a multi-pronged strategy is more likely to land you the job. Online resume posting, newspaper ads, recruiting agencies, door to door visits so that they can see you in person right off the bat, job fairs, and networking. All of these working together is a better way to go about your search rather than employ just one method.\n\nBefore you do all of that, figure out exactly what it is you're looking for. Would you be willing to do something along the lines of your primary job? Cover all your bases!
