<strong>Job Search Excuse:  There are no jobs out there.</strong>   Well, “Cut the Crap, Get a Job” (<a href="http://www.cutthecrapgetajob.com/">www.CutTheCrapGetAJob.com</a>) as there ARE jobs.   You just need help on how to find the right jobs for you.  This is a new era and so much has changed since the last time you may have searched.  There are more sources than time in a day.  So, based on your job search goal, you need to select the right sources.  First, get organized with a job search tracking tool (Microsoft Excel, Word, OneNote).  Then spend hours with the sources below.  Have a plan to spend a certain amount of time on each source.  Daily, weekly, re-visiting the source regularly and put all of your time commitments in your calendar.

<strong>Here is a simplified way to sort through all of the online sources:  </strong>Naturally, you will find others so please share your tricks to others on my blog at <a href="http://danamanciagli.com">http://danamanciagli.com</a>
