| Dedication
Job-Hunt is
dedicated to the millions of people who have had their personal
lives disrupted by the loss of a job.
During the
Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC") layoffs of the
early and mid-1990's, over 80,000 people lost their jobs world-wide.
Thousands who were "right-sized" out of a job found
a very tough job market. In New Hampshire and Massachusetts (near
DEC's headquarters), they faced many employers who would not consider
hiring them because of their DEC experience. The result in several
instances was personal tragedy: homes were lost, marriages broke-up,
and at least three people are known to have committed suicide
with one murder-suicide combination adding an additional victim
to the total tragedy.
We hope that
Job-Hunt can help open doors and provide assistance and hope to
job seekers so that they won't experience the most tragic aspects
of the DEC layoffs.
A job loss
can be a new beginning as well as an ending.
A career is
a process, not a destination! Don't give up!
Job-Hunt Fans
Among the many awards and kind things that have been written about Job-Hunt over the years:
Owner
- NETability, Inc.
NETability,
Inc. of Marlborough, Mass. is a Web development and consulting
company. As you can tell from Job-Hunt, NETability specializes in
search engine-friendly and user-friendly Web sites, professionally
designed and reasonably priced.
NETability purchased
Job-Hunt.Org in 1998. Job-Hunt.Org has changed enormously
since 1998, building on the foundation established by its original
creator (see "The Original Stanford Job Site" below),
and it will continue to change and improve through the 21st century.
This reflects the philosophy and commitment of Susan P. Joyce, president
of NETability and editor and publisher of Job-Hunt.org.
The Original
Stanford Job Site:
The "original"
Job-Hunt.Org was established as a list of links for job hunters
in 1993 by Dane Spearing, a graduate student at Stanford University.
It was served to the Web on the same computer as the original
Yahoo! Web site. Job-Hunt History
is Dane's introduction to the job-hunt.org Web site, if you would
like an historical perspective. In 1997, Dane moved on, and Job-Hunt.Org
was purchased by NETability, Inc. in 1998.
Job-Hunt's
Mission
At Job-Hunt, we
feel that we have an unwritten agreement with our visitors to list
only the best job sites we can find. On Job-Hunt, you will find no
work-at-home or make-millions scams, at least not on purpose.
We carefully screen the sites that appear on Job-Hunt, in accordance
with the description above. However, site ownership and/or goals change
over time, and a site may "degrade" (in our opinion) after being added
to Job-Hunt. Hopefully, very infrequently! Sometimes, also, a site
is sold and morphs into an inappropriate or untrustworthy site. So,
to paraphrase a famous saying, "verify before you trust"
when visiting and using a site listed on Job-Hunt. READ the Privacy
Policy before you use any Web site!
Purpose
The purpose of
the Job-Hunt.Org Web site is to provide the most comprehensive listing
of useful Internet-accessible job-search resources and services on
the Web, in a format which is most useful to job seekers.
Thousands of
Web sites claim to provide great service for job seekers and employers,
with dazzling whiz-bang technology, hundreds or thousands of job
openings, great applicant/employer matching services, and more.
Sadly, many
times, it isn't true.
At Job-Hunt.Org,
we are attempting to bring only the best sites to your attention.
You may find longer lists of job sites, but you won't find a better
selection of job sites. If you think a site should be included in Job-Hunt, please read Job-Hunt's Guidelines for Inclusion, and follow the directions listed there.
At Job-Hunt.Org,
you will find lists of links, by category or location, for:
- Web job sites
where you can search for a job and/or leave a copy of your resume.
- Web sites
which provide information and/or support useful in the job-search
process.
Job-Hunt
Does NOT:
- Collect
resumes. Don't send us resumes! If you want to post your resume immediately, go to CareerJournal, a Job-Hunt's sponsor, or one of the other sites listed in Job-Hunt.
- Have job postings. If you want to search through job postings, visit any of the 8,000+ sites listed in Job-Hunt and also check out the jobs posted on our excellent sponsors' sites like CareerJournal and Workforce50 (in the column on the right of every page) or, through Job-Hunt, on the Indeed network.
- Participate
in link exchanges or provide reciprocal links. We do not participate in link exchanges. Selecting and organizing high-quality links
is the reason for Job-Hunt's existence, so we do not link to a
site that links to us for the purpose of getting a link back.
We appreciate in-bound links! However, we link only to sites we
feel offer value to our visitors and that fit appropriately in Job-Hunt. For information on how a site qualifies for a Job-Hunt listing, see the Guidelines for Inclusion.
- Send out e-mail with job offers or offers to sell products or services. We don't send out e-mail with job offers or anything to sell you. If you receive such mail, that appears to be from Job-Hunt, you are receiving mail sent by another party fraudulently pretending to be Job-Hunt.
If you know of a job-related resource that is not on this list but
you feel should be, please send the information to feedback@job-hunt.org .
If you have
any other feedback for us, also please send it to this address - feedback@job-hunt.org.
