Which of course translates to "Your Paycheck Will No Longer Be Issued." If you've recently found yourself in this unhappy situation, it might be wise to spend a little time online. You could find yourself a step ahead of your peers by using the Internet to facilitate your job search. Today's TOURBUS will stop at three web sites (and a couple of Usenet groups) which contain a veritable gold-mine of information - from online job searches to resume posting and more. But before we get rolling, I'd like to announce the exciting *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* "WIN A PLASTIC FRICTION-POWERED TOURBUS!" CONTEST Yes, you could be the lucky winner of this coveted TOURBUS replica, just like the ones that rest on the desk of your hosts! Read through to the end of this posting for details on how to enter. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* The "Riley Guide" ----------------- Our first stop is at Margaret Riley's "Employment Opportunities and Job Resources on the Internet" site. Margaret is a personal cyberfriend of mine (netspeak for "we've chatted by e-mail and said nice things about each other") and has put a tremendous amount of work into this effort. Margaret functions as "Coordinator of Networked Resources" for Worcester Polytechnic Institute, which basically means "paid to surf". Maybe *I* should use this guide to find a job like that! If you can't find a job after putting this info to use, you just might want to check your pulse. At the very least, check out this excellent resource at: http://www.wpi.edu/~mfriley/jobguide.html The Online Career Center ------------------------ The Online Career Center is a very comprehensive and popular on-line job search tool. The OCC offers a large searchable database of jobs, and also allows you to submit your resume for employers to browse or search as well. OCC is a non-profit association sponsored by an array of companies, and also offers info on Career Fairs and Events and Career Assistance. Visit OCC at: http://www.occ.com/occ/ CareerPath ---------- CareerPath.com is a really cool service that lets you search the classified (Help Wanted) section of several major newspapers including The Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, San Jose Mercury News, and The Washington Post. Hey, not all employers are hip to the online thing. So it pays to search the traditional "black on white" sources as well. And if you can do it online, so much the better! Zip on over to http://www.careerpath.com/ ...specify some keywords relevant to your areas of expertise, and you'll be surprised at what turns up. On a whim, I searched using the keyword "Rexx" (my absolute favorite programming language) and sho'nuf there were seven listings in the NY Times - cool! Usenet Job Pointers ------------------- Still looking? Check out these Usenet groups * misc.jobs.offered - We need someone just like you. * misc.jobs.contract - Sign here, please... * misc.jobs.misc - Sounds *really* miscellaneous! * misc.jobs.resumes - Dump it on the heap. ========================================================================== For gifts you will not find anywhere else on the Internet, such as the world famous Delft Blue China, please visit Giftworld at http://giftworld.com ========================================================================== Now, more about that "WIN A PLASTIC FRICTION-POWERED TOURBUS!" contest...
