Using the Internet in your Job Search

Using the Internet to conduct a job search gives you access to thousands of employment opportunities all over the world. Since there are literally hundreds of job banks listed on the world wide web, that makes it difficult to know where to begin. Some job banks allow you to post your resume on line while others give you direct access to employers' web sites.

Marion Online is developing a local site for job opportunities called "Help Wanted". I am the person overseeing this project and am seeking employers who are willing to post their jobs on Marion Online. If you are an employee, ask your employer to post their jobs on Marion Online. If you are an employer, please consider using us to actively recruit. If you are a job seeker, please use this service and e-mail me with any suggestions or other input. My plan is to make the "Help Wanted" section a valuable resource for the Marion Area.

Below is a listing of Internet sites that you can use to search for employment opportunities. As you search through the sites, remember that the more specific you are in your criteria, the less job opportunities are shown. If you are limiting your job search to Marion, Ohio, then your chances of uncovering a job are more limited than if you included Columbus, Ohio in your search.

Have fun searching for the job that's the "right fit" for you!
