philosophy of conducting a job search via a massive

to stay local? Please see the exerpt of the following

Job Searching During The Holidays

NEW YORK - November 4th, 2002 - If you're thinking
about a new job, now's the time to aggressively pick
up your search. Many people slow their job search down
during the holiday months when in fact it's the best
time to look! 

Here's why. Many companies implement a new direction
or strategy at the first of the year, resulting in a
first of the year hiring surge. With new-year business
strategies mapped out, companies start aggressively
looking for resumes and interviewing new job
candidates in November and December.

Oddly enough, while employers start hiring, job
seekers often decide to wait to mount their search
until after the holidays? 

One of the best ways to take advantage of this
situation is to give yourself massive exposure by
signing up to all the top career sites as soon as
possible. Of course it will take a little time, but
it's well worth it. The top career sites are visited
by 1.5 million employers and recruiters daily - And
collectively list millions of jobs.

If you want to save 60 hours of research and data
entry, try a service called ResumeRabbit.com. They
instantly post your resume to 85 the top career sites
at once. You'll find this service at

With this service you fill out one simple form in
about 15 minutes and you'll be instantly seen on
Monster, Hot Jobs, Flip Dog, Career Builder, Dice, and
more! 

When searching for a new job, it's important to work
smart and cover a lot of ground. Today's serious job
seeker must take a multi-pronged approach to succeed.
This should include networking, reading all the
classifieds, posting your resume on all the top career
sites and searching job listings on all the top career
sites daily. 

From mid November to mid January, the holidays have a
"slowing down" effect day to day business operations.
Many companies take advantage of this time to do their
interviewing for the coming year. If you wait until
January to start your search -- you may be too late!
Make sure to set up accounts on all the career sites
where you can search through all the current jobs. And
make sure to post your resume there so you'll be found
by the employers who are currently searching.
