Craigslist
2012.02.27
Craigslist isn’t just for apartment hunting, selling your old TV, or finding that missed connection; it’s also another great resource for your job hunt. The site is a bit more bare-bones than some of the other job search websites (for instance, you can’t sign up for email updates or post your resume), but it certainly has plenty of jobs to offer. Jobs are categorized by standard career areas such as “admin/office,” “business/mgmt,” and “writing/editing,” but some of the categories are pretty broad, such as “salon/spa/fitness.” Personal trainers will have to wade through the listings for nail technicians and colorists before they find a listing that pertains to them.
