Happy Memorial Day! Whether or not you’re employed, there’s a 3 day “weekend” up ahead. Some will “parade’, others might picnic, or maybe you’re just taking it slow, resting up for the week ahead.

Personally, I find that online job sites are a good way to search and research the employment market. My last few jobs were all found online but it does take a long time to find work. However, I think the current state of unemployment could be getting better in the coming year as I have noticed more and more jobs listed online. Yet, the biggest issue is choosing the right job search site. I recently compared Monster and SnagAJob on an online
jobs index listed on dozenjobs.com and it was helpful. I found that some job sites offer more listings than others and have easier application processes.
