I am job seeking and have used the "monster board,"
i.e. monster.com
and created a monster "agent" that lists jobs specifically
for my needs.
This has been very helpful.
I also have used washingtonjobs.com....a site created
by the Washington Post...
so I am passing on those job seeking tips to you.
Cheers, Margo Arnold
