Answer to Question 1

Big boards: Visit general online job sites such as CareerBuilder.com, Monster.com, CollegeGrad.com, and Indeed.com for job opportunities and job-search information.

Company websites: Visit corporate websites for company information and for job postings that may not be listed elsewhere.

Niche sites: Check niche sites such as Dice.com and Accountemps.com for jobs in specialized fields and for jobs for job seekers with special backgrounds or needs.

Agencies: Sign up with a reputable search firm.

Network of contacts: Develop a personal network of contacts that may include friends, relatives, former employers, former coworkers, church members, people in social or athletic clubs, present and former teachers, neighbors, and parents' friends.
