			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://CareerAlley.com/wp-content/uploads/MM900283836.gif"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-8916" title="Pick" src="http://CareerAlley.com/wp-content/uploads/MM900283836.gif" alt="" width="75" height="90" /></a>“<em>Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.</em>” &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_S._Thompson" target="_blank">Hunter S. Thompson</a></p>
<p>So when you look for job opportunities, do you just do a search based on job openings or do you have a &#8220;list&#8221;? If you are now thinking &#8220;what list?&#8221; then this post is for you. So, just like today&#8217;s quote, getting the right job is worth doing right. Part of your plan for job search should include making a list of companies where you would like to work. Not to say that you should only consider the companies on your preferred company list, but the list should form a large part of your foundation for job search. Of course, lots of work goes into coming up with your preferred list. Today&#8217;s post is a first in series of &#8220;Top Pick&#8221; lists and will help with some of your research.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Best Companies to Work For</strong> &#8211; If you are a long time reader of CareerAlley then you will have seen some of my posts on Fortune&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2011/full_list/" target="_blank">100 Best Companies to Work For</a>&#8220;. For the most part, no matter what your field, you should be able to find some companies from this list to add to your list. And, according to Fortune&#8217;s summary, these companies have (collectively) over 150,000 jobs to be filed. So, to help you with your research:</li>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2011/full_list/" target="_blank">The Full List</a> &#8211; The full list can be found at this link. Each company has an embedded link which will take you to a summary page listing why they are considered one of the &#8220;Best&#8221; along with a link to their website (always look for &#8220;careers&#8221; when you are on a company website).</li>
<li><a href="http://jobsearch.money.cnn.com/a/all-jobs/list/frl-fortune100best" target="_blank">Jobs at the Best Companies to Work For</a> &#8211; Powered by <a href="http://www.simplyhired.com" target="_blank">SimplyHired.com</a>, this is a  job search focused specifically on the Best Companies List. You can modify your search by using the criteria boxes at the top or the criteria to the left of the page.</li>
<li><a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2011/states/CA.html" target="_blank">Best Companies Near You</a> &#8211; This link allows you to select the best companies near you. Use the drop down box to put in your state.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Fortune 500</strong> &#8211; This is the annual list of <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2011/full_list/" target="_blank">America&#8217;s largest companies</a>. Now big may not be your thing, but if it is, this is a great list to start with. In terms of industries and locations, this list is more diversified given the number of companies on the list. From retail to oil to telecommunications to financial services, I&#8217;m sure your industry is represented on the list. And, according to the article, the top 100 have over 96,000 job opportunities!</li>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2011/employers/" target="_blank">FORTUNE 500 best companies to work for</a> &#8211; This list is a cross reference between the Best Companies list and the Fortune 500 (in case you are looking for the best largest companies). If you like big, then go for the best as well.</li>
<li><a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2011/industries/" target="_blank">Industries</a> &#8211; You can use this list to cross check your industry and pick companies that better represent your interests.</li>
<li><a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2011/states/CA.html" target="_blank">A Fortune 500 Company Near You</a> &#8211; Like the Best Companies, this list provides the largest companies by location. Use the drop down box to put in your state.</li>
<li><a href="http://jobsearch.money.cnn.com/a/all-jobs/list/frl-fortune500companies" target="_blank">Jobs at the Fortune 500</a> &#8211; Also powered by SimplyHired.com, this is a  job search focused specifically on the Fortune 500 List. You can modify your search by using the criteria boxes at the top or the criteria to the left of the page.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Other Ways to Conduct Research</strong> &#8211; If the two lists above do not meet your needs (or you just want additional resources), the following links should help in your list building:</li>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/directory/companies/" target="_blank">LinkedIn Company Directory</a> &#8211; This is LinkedIn&#8217;s directory of companies listed by industry. The list starts with an alpha listing followed by the actual industries. Click on a category and this will lead to a full page for that industry based on location. Click through to find your companies. Click on any company for background and associated links.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.vault.com/wps/portal/usa/companies" target="_blank">Vault.com Company Listing</a> &#8211; A very different format from LinkedIn, but an amazing amount of information is available on this site (way too much to discuss here).</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Good luck in your search.</p>

<p>Local newspapers and trade magazines are one of the best sources for finding jobs in your area. These publications are geared toward readers in a specific city. Newspapers are published daily so this gives you a chance to find jobs on a daily basis. If you would like to find jobs using print media, there are a few things that you should know before hand. Here are some tips to help you find the job that you want using your local print media.</p>
<h4>1. Magazine Or Newspaper?</h4>
<p>When looking for a job, you want to approach the subject with as much knowledge as possible. The best way to get up to date knowledge is use an up to date source. Since newspapers are printed daily, they can be a great resource for getting a leg up on the competition. But what about magazines? Magazines will also have classified ads in the back of them. The problem with magazines is that they are not printed daily. Some magazines are not even printed weekly. You can still use magazines, just make sure that you are getting your information from and up to date source. If you get a magazine a week after publication, you can be sure that the job opportunity has been flooded with applicants.</p>
<h4>2. Am I Qualified?</h4>
<p>Read through the job listings and use a pen to circle the jobs that you are qualified for. Read through the listing carefully to make sure that you have the educational and experience requirements for the job before you apply. If you do not have the education or the experience for the job, move on. Employers set education and experience for a reason. Do not waste their time or yours.</p>
<h4>3. Resumes</h4>
<p>The resume is one of the most powerful ways to get a job. If you are looking for jobs, always have a couple of resumes with you. You never know when a lead can turn into an interview. Make sure that your resume is professional looking and up to date. If you know that you are going on an interview, cater your resume to the job. Have a general resume for on the spot interviews or leads that are vague with their listing.</p>
<h4>4. Older Leads</h4>
<p>Old leads are just as good as new leads. Many companies take months to hire an employee. If you find an old lead that you are qualified for, take a couple of minutes to call the HR department at the company to see if the position has been filled. If the position has not been filled, go ahead and ask them about setting up an interview. Sometimes the position will have been filled, but they have other positions that you might be qualified for. Always be courteous on the phone and never demand an interview. Be persistent, but do not be rude to the person on the phone. This will only work against you if you do get an interview.</p>
<h4>5. Other Than The Classifieds</h4>
<p>Newspapers and magazines are great resources for finding job leads. Although the classified section is the most used, other sections can also be a way to find a lead. Look for articles about companies that are relocating to the area. Many times, these companies will be gearing up to hire new employees. Look for articles about companies that are expanding. These companies are always looking for new employees to handle incoming accounts and services.</p>
<p>Print media can be a useful tool in finding the kind of job that you want. Always remember to use up to date sources. If you are not using an up to date source, call ahead to see if the job is still open or if they have other jobs they are looking to fill. Search through the other sections of the publication for possible leads and always keep a resume up to date. Following these guidelines will give you an advantage when searching for job that you want in a sea of applications.</p>

<p>Very tough times at work lately. So, in order to put some hope in my day, I went off and purchased a lottery ticket. I&#8217;m not sure about you, but for me buying a lottery ticket provides some glimmer of possibly better times to come. From the moment of purchase until the lottery numbers are drawn I think about all of the ways I will spend the money and how much better (I think) my life will be. That, of course, all comes to an end when the numbers are drawn and at best I win $2 or generally nothing at all. Been there yourself? But, I am a realist and I know that the only way I might better my lot in life (or at least my job) is to be proactive in finding a better job (but one can always dream about winning the lottery).</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-Finance" target="_blank">Top Financial Institutions are Hiring</a> &#8211; There were over 700,00 Finance Job Opportunities on <a href="http://www.simplyhired.com" target="_blank">SimplyHired.com</a> when I checked the site using keyword &#8220;Finance&#8221; (no you did not read this wrong).  Now you need to narrow your search, and SimplyHired is great for that. Use the criteria on the left hand side of the page. You can narrow when the job was posted, narrow the company, Job Type, Experience and more. You can create Job Alerts on Simply Hired and be the first to submit your resume. You can sign in from the top right hand side of the page.</li>

Stay foolish</em>&#8221; &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs" target="_blank">Steve Jobs</a></p>
<p>Recent advances in cyberspace have facilitated the growth of <a href="http://jobs.brandrepublic.com/jobs/marketing/" target="_blank">marketing jobs</a> vacancies like never before.  Trying to find a job in any industry can seem like a daunting proposition, one that requires varying degrees of skill, luck and networking ability.  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" target="_blank">Marketing</a> is an area in which your ability to connect &#8211; to self-promote and promulgate, to make yourself a veritable billboard &#8211; is especially desirable.</p>
<p>Forget a resumé; your work history can now be contained within a barcode, along with a photograph and links to your Twitter and LinkedIn profiles. Known as QR (Quick Response) codes, these nifty 2D ciphers may well be the future when it comes to marketing recruitment.</p>
<p><a href="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/mkt1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-8222 aligncenter" title="mkt1" src="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/mkt1.png" alt="" width="114" height="114" /></a>Advertising yourself using QR codes could set you ahead of the competition, and highlights the sort of creativity that evinces you were made to be a marketeer. In this vein, QR codes need not be dull binary cubes: they can be personalised and varicoloured, and even contain images on the code itself. Moreover, if advertising yourself as a marketing guru, why not link your QR code to your personal blog, or a marketing campaign you had a prominent role in creating?</p>
<p>QR codes can be created using a variety of tools such as Google’s URL shortener (Goo.gl), but if you’re firmly ensconced in Camp Twitter, then marketing careers are similarly just a click away. Showcase your skills by tweeting a video of your PowerPoint presentation that shows exactly why you should be hired is one alternative. Scan marketing recruiters’ Twitter pages to keep ahead of the creative curve, and retweet their messages to demonstrate a keen interest. Using the web to network your profile has never been easier.</p>
<p><a href="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/image00.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8226 aligncenter" title="twitter" src="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/image00-300x255.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="120" /></a></p>
<p>While the number of marketing vacancies will fluctuate, as with any industry, creativity and flair are assets that will always be in demand. Link your YouTube page in your Twitter and QR code and create a video resumé addressed to the hiring manager who’s in your sights.</p>
<p>Use technology to your advantage, but don’t let it define you: ultimately it’s you, the person, rather than you, the binary code that will convince an employer of your worth.</p>
<p>If you’re bereft of ideas and relevant experience, the niftiest gadgets in the world won’t be able to hide the gaping holes in your CV.  In the fickle world of marketing however, success is dependent upon staying one step ahead of the competition.  Use technology to your advantage, but don’t sell it to your new employer &#8211; sell yourself.</p>
<p><em>Brand Republic Jobs specialise in listing the latest <a href="http://jobs.brandrepublic.com/jobs/advertising/" target="_blank">advertising jobs</a>, media and <a href="http://jobs.brandrepublic.com/jobs/digital/" target="_blank">digital marketing jobs</a> from direct employers and recruitment agencies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/j0234774.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2737" title="j0234774" src="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/j0234774.gif" alt="" width="118" height="124" /></a>“<em>Nobody will ever need more than 640k RAM!</em>” – <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates" target="_blank">Bill Gates</a>, 1981</p>
<p>Technology is defined as &#8220;<em>the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area</em>&#8221; according to <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/technology" target="_blank">Merriam-Webster&#8217;s </a>dictionary.  So state of the art technology in the early 1970&#8242;s were floppy disks, LCDs, VCRs and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong" target="_blank">Pong</a> all while we were watching Star Trek (yes, the original) with their &#8220;wireless&#8221; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicator_(Star_Trek)" target="_blank">communicators</a> that was true science fiction. So here we are, 40 years later with our own &#8220;communicators&#8221; (aka &#8211; Smartphones) that make the Star Trek versions look like ancient stone age tools.</p>
<p>Okay, I went off on a tangent. Today&#8217;s post is all about finding jobs in Technology and yes, there are thousands of them. From Tech companies to Tech search engines, the following links should help you in your search for a new job.</p>
<p><strong>Job Search Boards</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://computerjobs.com/homepage.aspx" target="_blank">Computerjobs.com</a> &#8211; A great place to start if you are looking for a tech job. The site leads with a simple search bos There are several links at the top for Login, Register and Options (job downloads and Recruiter Directory). The right-hand side of the page allows search by popular job locations followed by a specialized search by job skill.  Overall, the site is very well done. They’ve managed to get all of the key links for their site on the main page without overcrowding and with easy user interface. There were over <strong>8,400 job opportunities</strong> when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.techcareers.com/" target="_blank">TechCareers.com</a> &#8211; &#8220;IT Jobs, Engineering Jobs and Career Resources for IT and Engineering Professionals&#8221; is the tag line for this site. Links at the top of the page for Search Jobs, Post Resume, Articles and Blogs and more. There is a simple search box at the top of the page along with a button for advanced job search. Right hand side of the page lists featured companies. Speaking of technology, you can also download an iPhone app for this site. Center page are links for Career Profiles, Hiring Reports and Job Search Tips. There were over <strong>134,000 job opportunities</strong> when I checked the site (this is not a typo).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dice.com/" target="_blank">Dice.com</a> &#8211; The Career Hub for Tech Insiders. I&#8217;m sure that most of you have heard of this site. A busy site but with lots of great information and links, the main page has tabs at the top for Search Jobs, Career News and Job Showcase. This is followed by a search box on the left hand side of the screen followed by sections for browsing jobs by location or skill set. Featured companies are listed on the right hand side of the page. There were over <strong>69,500 job opportunities</strong> when I  checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Technology Companies:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://h10055.www1.hp.com/jobsathp/" target="_blank">Hewlett-Packard</a> – HP is well known for its printers, computers (number1), medical equipment and recently announced their acquisition of  Palm. Their career site has an overview on the left hand side with &#8220;Find your Fit&#8221; on the right hand side of the page. Links include Search Jobs, Submit your profile and working at HP.  There were over <strong>6,700 job opportunities</strong> when I checked (seems high, but I did say thousands of jobs).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/" target="_blank">Apple</a> &#8211; iPod, iPhone, iTouch, Mac Computers and of course the new iPad. Apple&#8217;s career site is everything you would expect from Apple. Crisp, clean and easy. There are a few overview words on the main page, but you can go right to the &#8220;Start your search&#8221; center right page or top right page. Clicking through, you have a choice of retail jobs (in one of their stores) or a job in Corporate. There were over <strong>1,100 job opportunities</strong> in Corporate when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck in your search.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/bs00558a.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4790" title="bs00558a" src="http://careeralley.com/wp-content/uploads/bs00558a.gif" alt="" width="100" height="88" /></a>For those of you who have followed by blog from &#8220;the early days&#8221;, you will know that I work for a Wall Street firm. Two years ago, the answer to my blog title would have been &#8220;no one&#8221;. But today, there are more jobs on Wall Street than they can fill (&#8220;not true&#8221; you say?). Some of the headhunters I use to fill my open positions have been begging me for names of potential candidates for all of the jobs they have. How can this be? There are two things driving this trend. First, all of the Wall Street firms made very deep cuts in their headcount (more than they could afford if they wanted to get the work done). Second, just about every firm on Wall Street has recovered. The combination has created one of the most dramatic turnaround in supply and demand in recent memory. Today&#8217;s post provides leads to &#8220;Who&#8217;s Hiring on Wall Street&#8221;, were there are over <strong>13,000 career opportunities</strong> across the companies and sites listed below.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www2.goldmansachs.com/careers/index.html" target="_blank">Goldman Sachs</a> &#8211; Goldman is much in the news, and they do have jobs and back to earning large profits. Their main career page is pretty impressive. Several tabs at the top for Careers, the Firm, Begin and Search, click Begin to (you guessed it) begin. More tabs on this page, with Key Dates, Unique Positions, Apply Now, Recruiting Events and Summer Intern Toolkit, plan to spend a fair amount of time surfing this site. While you can&#8217;t search for a list of jobs on Goldman&#8217;s site, you can use this link for <a href="http://www.indeed.com" target="_blank">Indeed.com</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.indeed.com/q-Goldman-Sachs-jobs.html" target="_blank">Goldman Sachs Jobs</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.morganstanley.com/about/careers/index.html" target="_blank">Morgan Stanley</a> &#8211; Another big firm on Wall Street, their careers page has tabs at the top for Why Morgan Stanley, University Programs, Search &amp; Apply and more. Center page includes links for background on the company while the right hand side of the page has two links for job search. Bottom right hand side of the page includes a link for featured opportunities. Clicking on the &#8220;Search All Jobs&#8221; link at the bottom of the page leads to a full page where jobs must be searched by division where there were <strong>1,890 career opportunities</strong> when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://careers.jpmorganchase.com/career/careerhome" target="_blank">JP Morgan Chase</a> &#8211; Another well known financial institution, their career site provides an overview of the company and then has links for Experienced Hires and University Programs.  There is a link for “Jobs in Demand” as well as a “Search Jobs” tab.  As with the other sites, it is worthwhile to register. There were over <strong>6,965 job opportunities</strong> when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://careers.bankofamerica.com/overview/overview.asp" target="_blank">Bank of America</a> &#8211; Bank of America, which now owns Merrill Lynch following the financial crisis, is another one of those &#8220;Banks on Wall Street&#8221; (like JP Morgan Chase). Their careers center leads with an company overview, followed by selecting your country so that you can begin your job search. The left hand side of the screen has links for Job Search, Job Areas, Lines of Business, Campus Recruiting and more. There were over <strong>4,000 job opportunities</strong> in the US when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.jobsonwallstreet.com/" target="_blank">JobsOnWallStreet.com</a> &#8211; What better place to look for jobs on Wall Street than a search engine with that name. There is a Candidates section on the right hand side of the screen, where you can post your resume or click Find a Job. Above this are additional links, including a Financial Recruiters directory (not yet populated) and a Job Openings link. There were over <strong>1,200 job opportunities</strong> with a Wall Street description when I  checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck in your search.<br />

The other half is physical.</em>” –<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra" target="_blank">Yogi Berra</a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but when I hear the word &#8220;industry&#8221;, the first thing I think of is smokestacks (hence the picture). I&#8217;m sure that has something to do with my age <img src='http://CareerAlley.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  . Job search is much the same as today&#8217;s quote (90% mental, the other half physical). Apart from the math, you do need to give your job search 140% of your time and effort. The biggest part of the job search effort is the mental part &#8211; creating your list of opportunities. The physical part is actually acting on your list. Today&#8217;s post focuses on specific industries.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.medicalworkers.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Medicalworkers.com</a> &#8211; The tag line for this site -  &#8220;The Most Medical Jobs&#8221; tells it all and, as you may have already guessed, this site focuses on medical jobs. Their main page leads with a simple search box (enter your job &amp;/or location) or you can use the advanced search (click the &#8220;Advanced Search&#8221; button directly below &#8220;Find Jobs&#8221;).  The advanced search function provides quite a few additional choices.  Back on the main page, there are three main lists directly below the search bar &#8211; &#8220;Allied Health Jobs&#8221;, &#8220;Nursing Jobs&#8221; and &#8220;Physician Jobs&#8221; all of which have additional links below the headings. You can also click &#8220;Browse Jobs&#8221; at the bottom of the page. With this option you can pick your state, pick your job (based on the first letter) or pick your company (also by the first letter). There were over <strong>80,000 Job listings</strong> when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.apparelsearch.com/employment.htm" target="_blank">Apparelsearch.com</a> -  The &#8220;Employment Guide for the fashion and clothing industry&#8221;, this job search site is structured somewhat differently than most. Top of the page has links for &#8220;Fashion Careers&#8221;, &#8220;Message Boards&#8221;, &#8220;Engines&#8221; and more.  Below this is a very long listing of clothing industry companies, with a brief overview and links to their job sites. There are links for additional pages at the bottom of the page. Right hand side of the page has quite a few additional related links and it is worth the few extra minutes to take a look at these.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.oilandgasjobsearch.com/" target="_blank">Oilandgassearch.com</a> &#8211; This is a global job search site which has a nice crisp interface.

</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.entertainmentcareers.net/" target="_blank">EntertainmentCareers.net</a> &#8211; &#8220;Entertainment Jobs, Internships and Career Information in the Entertainment Industry&#8221; is the tag line for this site.

</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.computerjobs.com/homepage.aspx" target="_blank">Computerjobs.com</a> &#8211; The lead page is right to the point.

<p>You know the  old saying, a good salesperson can sell anything. I&#8217;m sure there is some truth to it, but to be a successful salesperson takes a certain personality and skill-set that (in my opinion) can&#8217;t be easily be taught. It is one of the few careers where you know fairly quickly how you are doing (and if you are not doing well you will not last long). It is also one of the few careers where there are (generally) plenty of jobs (more than most) but they are the most difficult to find. &#8220;Where&#8221; you may ask are these jobs that are so difficult to find &#8211; read on.</p>
<p><strong>Retail:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://careers.homedepot.com/cg/content.do?p=hourly" target="_blank">Home Depot</a> – Home Depot is know as the Do It Yourself store. They have an established business model. Their careers page is clean and crisp. There are links at the top left hand side of the page for 5 different functional areas of employment, plus one for new store openings (where they will obviously need help). Below this on the left hand side is a search function, followed by a number of additional links to related information. Click the job search box and you will have a number of choices. Of course, you are looking for Sales Associates, but there are also click boxes for Store Managers, Customer Service and Supply Chain. Also, at the bottom of the page they have a link for their  career fair calendar. Unfortunately, you must register on the site and check each job type individually.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://about.nordstrom.com/careers/" target="_blank">Nordstom</a> &#8211; What? Hardware is not your thing? What about the soft side, upscale department stores. They have a great careers page. Center page there are three choices: Store openings (they will need salespeople), Career paths (look for sales) and create a profile (sales!). Create your search using the key words &#8220;Retail Sales&#8221;. There were over <strong>1,000 Retail Sales opportunities</strong> when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Other Sales:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=why-ny-ny.html&amp;dep_id=1086&amp;loc_id=1122&amp;topic=1086&amp;src=sales_ny_google" target="_blank">Google</a> &#8211; No, you did not read this wrong. Google has an amazing number of sales jobs. Rather than go through their main careers page, the link to the left leads directly to their sales jobs. Center page is the long list of jobs, left hand side are links to Life at Google, locations, student jobs and more. The right hand side of the page has related links.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Resources and Leads:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.rileyguide.com/sales.html" target="_blank">Sales, Advertising, &amp; Marketing</a> &#8211; This is a listing of leads and resources that will keep you busy for a very long time. Riley Guide&#8217;s list of Sales related jobs is an amazing collection of job search sites, executive recruiters, trade shows and the list goes on.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://salesjobs.com/" target="_blank">Salesjobs.com</a> – This is the “World’s largest Sales Employment Site” according their tag line. And, according to the stats on their main page, there are <strong>over 200,000 job opportunities </strong>on their site. The main page has tabs at the top, but Candidates seems to be the only one that would be of interest. Below this (middle of the page) is a quick search box (using industry and area code).  Bottom left hand side is the candidates section where you can upload your resume, login or get advice. Clicking the Candidates tab at the top leads to a page with dedicated resources such as Search, post resume, advice, sales links and more.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.nasp.com/" target="_blank">National Association of Sales Professionals</a> – This is an example of a professional organization (this one focusing on sales). In addition to other services, this association also has a career center (one of the tabs at the top of the page). Click on career center and the left hand side of the page is dedicated to Job Seekers where you can post a resume, View jobs, create personal alerts and more. When I clicked on the view jobs link, there were <strong>over 2,900 opportunities</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck in your search.<br />

So far, the Universe is winning.</em>&#8221; &#8211; Rich Cook</p>
<p>The vast majority of companies have some form of technology, but not may companies are drive technology. There are the usual suspects (some of which are featured below), but it really depends on how broadly or narrowly you define technology. As an example, is Pixar (now part of the Disney empire) a technology company or an entertainment company? The answer, of course, is yes. So at the least, identifying technology companies can be as clear as mud. There were over <strong>10,000 job opportunities</strong> across the companies featured today. For today, we will try to be as purist as possible as we continue our focus on company career sites.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ibm.com/employment?cm_re=wspace-_-horznav-_-learn" target="_blank">IBM</a> – Another name known by everyone, IBM is truly a global company and its products range from manufactured goods to business services. The Job Seekers page has a video about the company, a section for University Students and search by country. Select “search openings” and you can search for jobs or register on the site. The Advanced Search function provides a number of options so that you can focus you search. There <strong>were over 3,900 job opportunities </strong>when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/careers/" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> – We all know what this company does. In addition to being at the top of Fortune’s most profitable list, Microsoft is also on Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work for“. Based in Redmond Washington, the Careers page allows job search by region or Development Centers. Picking your country of choice from the center of the page takes you to that country’s career page. You can register, search jobs, submit your resume and create a job agent. The page also provides links to career paths, detailed information on the company and a student center. There were <strong>over 100 job opportunities </strong>when I checked the site (the site only shows 100 jobs at a time).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://h10055.www1.hp.com/jobsathp/" target="_blank">Hewlet Packard</a> – HP’s career website provides an overview of the company with links to Search Job and Submit your Profile on the left of the page. Their are separate tabs for Students &amp; Graduates and Diversity. Searching all HP jobs returns <strong>over 4,300 job opportunities</strong> when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/" target="_blank">Apple</a> – Apple has been on the upswing for some time now, and they are admired on many fronts. Their career page has two paths, Apple Pro and Apple Store. A fairly simple page, which has Start Your Search at the top right hand side. You then select Retail or Corporate jobs center page. Clicking Search Jobs links to a job search engine. You can register for the site or just search. A generic search of <strong>Corporate jobs returned 1,055 corporate job opportunities </strong>when I checked the site (be sure to check their retail jobs as well).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.careersathoneywell.com/en/Home.aspx" target="_blank">Honeywell International</a> – According to their website, Honeywell is a diversified technology and manufacturing company with business in, aerospace, control technologies and automotive products. Their careers site has links at the top for Job Search, Career Paths, University Relations and more. The left hand side of the page has news, while center page has Honeywell Careers. The right hand side lists a number of career paths, all with links with additional information and a small search box on the top right hand side. The job search page has quick links for search in other languages. As an example, there were <strong>577 job opportunities</strong> in the US when I checked the site.</li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck in your search.<br />
