Don't miss the big ones like monster.com, Google for Jobs, CareerBuilder and Indeed. Also check specialized job sites like Dice for tech professionals, ArtsThread for artists, and TeamWorkOnline for the sports industry.

Company Websites

Pursue your dream employer by checking out their site for Job listings. This is sometimes listed under Careers.

Friends and Family

A referral makes you 10x more likely to land that job, especially when a friend or family member already works there. Definitely utilize your friends & family network.

Job Fairs

Whether virtual or in-person, a job fair is a great way to connect with recruiters and potential opportunities.

Cold Calling

Even if someone isn't advertising job opportunities, there may be a fit. Ask about upcoming vacancies and always include a copy of your resume. Don't be discouraged if you don't hear back.

An Up-To-Date Resume

Highlight any highly-transferrable skills - anything that you can take from one job to the next.

Informational Interviews

While you wait to hear back on potential job opportunities that you apply for, network with potential coworkers by conducting informational interviews with them. Many people are happy to do this and help someone out in their career. And if you make a connection with someone, it could lead to a potential referral.


All of the above, rinse, repeat. Keep doing all of these things and keep your head up, as it's only a matter of time before you land the perfect gig for you.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
