About JobHunt
Purpose
The purpose of the Jobhunt page is to provide a listing
of useful internet accessible job-search resources
and services. No attempt has been made to list every
job listing on the internet here. Only those services
that are relatively stable and appear to be useful
or relevant to a broad range of job types and geographical
locations are listed.
A single page of all
of the links to job-related resources is purposefully
kept in order to make searching the list easier.
Contact
The JobHunt page is maintained by Dane Spearing. If
you find a "stale" link in the list, or have any questions
or comments about it splease contact me at: dane@job-hunt.org
If you know of a job-related resource that is
not on this list but you feel should be, please
use the New Job-Resource Form
to submit information about it.
History
I've had a number of people ask me how the JobHunt
page got started, and how much effort is involved
in maintaining it.
The JobHunt page (initially called "On-Line Job
Resources") started out in December 1993 as a personal
hot-list of about 20 or so links to job-related
resources on the internet that I created while conducting
my own job search. After using it for a couple of
weeks, and finding another dozen or so resources,
I figured that it might be useful to a few other
people on the 'net. So, I turned the hot-list in
to an actual HTML document and announced it's existence
via the
NCSA What's New Page. In the first 3 months
of it's existence, the JobHunt page got about 3,000
hits total. Now, it get between 5,000 and 12,000
hits daily.
During the early stages, I used to spend time
actively looking for new job-related resources on
the 'net to add to the list. As it grew in popularity,
people began sending me new URL's to add to the
list. Now, most new links are sent in by people,
or submitted via the New Job-Resource
Form. About 5 - 10 new links are added per week,
and the total number of links on the page currently
exceeds 700.
The amount of time I spend maintaining this page
is about 3-4 hours per week.
