Search engines and portals
These sites can help you quickly locate information about particular companies or industries and often have their own classified listings. Many of them can also be customized to your requirements. Some of the most popular search engines include www.Google.com, www.AltaVista.com, www.LookSmart.com and www.Yahoo.com.

Career-search sites
In addition to job announcements, many of these include resume and job-hunting advice, industry news and company profiles. Staffing and recruiting firm Web pages are also valuable, as they may allow you to create a search based on your own criteria. Sites such as www.Careers.WSJ.com, www.HotJobs.com, www.Monster.com, www.SmartPros.com and www.Accountemps.com are all solid resources.

Corporate Web sites
These are the best resource if there is a particular company you are interested in as they typically provide job listings as well as information you can use when preparing to apply to the firm. They usually also allow you to define your search by location and position.

Periodicals
Along with general news, many online business and trade publications offer information about firms new to your area and may have notices about available opportunities. But by far their greatest benefit is as a resource for keeping up with the latest industry trends and business news. This can help you target hot industries and in-demand job titles. Some top sites include www.BizJournals.com, www.BusinessWeek.com, www.Fortune.com and www.MSNBC.com
