With the way the economy, stock markets, the way they are right now; many people are unemployed and looking for a new job.

But how do you use your computer and the internet to find that new job? Yes there are places such as Monster, Craigslist, and others.

Here\’s a little fact, many companies post \”secret\” openings to their own website, days or even weeks before putting them on others.
What are the chances that you would actually look at that companies site, before they posted the job to other sites? Slim to none.

So know that you know where to look, what is the easiest way to find these company websites in your area? Thats where special \”job search engines\” come in. These websites are extremely customized search engines that only crawl the web for specific words such as opening, position, and others including locations.

Here are a few job search engines to help you find only hiring companies websites:

http://www.simplyhired.com
http://www.linkup.com
http://www.indeed.com
http://www.dice.com (Technology Jobs Only)
http://www.usajobs.gov (Government Jobs)

Do you know of any other \”job search engines\” or other ways to find jobs? Feel free to submit them below. Have any questions or comments? Submit them below too, or email me justin@helin_w8jkc.com

I have been hosting a live scanner feed for Stark County for some time. I provide the audio solely and directly to SCANAMERICA, which is a free website you can visit by going to http://www.scanamerica.us

To listen to my live feed please go to: http://oh.scanamerica.us/?county=Stark

You can listen with a Java enabled browser pop-up, Apple iTunes, Real Player, WinAmp, or Windows Media Player from the site.

Note: As soon as I can afford to buy a digital trunking scanner, I will add Canton, Stark SO, and OH MARCS to a seperate feed. I do not know when I will be able to do so.
