Wow! and, thanks to Margaret Dikel of the RileyGuide for mentioning Job-Hunt to Marty Nemko, author of the article. In the article, Marty described Job-Hunt as "The best site for those who have a career goal and now are trying to land a job." Thanks, Margaret! Thanks, Marty!
  
  
• April, 2005: We happily welcomed the Dow Jones owned "suite" of career-related sites (CareerJournal, CollegeJournal, StartupJournal, and RelocationJournal) as Job-Hunt's main sponsors. These sites are awesome sites, what you would expect from the company with the most famous brand in U.S. business news - The Wall Street Journal. CareerJournal and CollegeJournal have long been favorites, recipients of the famous Job-Hunt smilie [] for many years.
  
  
• July, 2004: We accidentally discovered that Job-Hunt has won another award - PC Magazine has chosen Job-Hunt to be among the 1,000 or so sites which they feel are the "Best of the Internet" in the new book of that name. Cool!
  
  
• January, 2004: Job-Hunt started its 6th year as an asset/responsibility of NETability, Inc. Traffic is higher than ever, which says as much about the state of the economy as it does about Job-Hunt's content and quality. Nearly 9,000 out-bound links are now provided by Job-Hunt, and to say maintenance has become a Herculean task is putting it mildly. We'll probably close in on 10,000 by 2005, God willing. Still, there is a need, unfortunately, so we will do our best in 2004. Probably time to throw everything into a database, though...
  
  
• During 2003, we continued to add new links, particularly in the States, and also many new articles from the Online Job Search Guide (Job-Hunt's free twice-a-month newsletter).
  
  
• During December, 2002, an updated and expanded Finding Jobs Online article was published. We launched a modified "new look" and gentle re-organization of Job-Hunt's 300 pages of content aimed at making Job-Hunt easier to use and to maintain; also updated many of the states to add local networking information and to respond to the Web site reorganization of our major source of state job market data. A new start and new look for 2003, hopefully a safe and prosperous year for all.
  
  
• July through November, 2002, were a blur. The Networking Section was created, combining the Associations and Societies section with the Pick Your Employer section for the Networking Resources section.
  
  Over the summer, we've found several news items that seem too useful and important to omit, so "Networking Resources" became "Networking Resources and News."
  
  A lot of time was devoted to research and writing articles (new - Tapping the Hidden Job Market, Using Web Job Sites; and revised - Using Job-Hunt, Starting Your Online Job Search, Choosing a Job Site, and The Dirty Dozen Online Job Search Mistakes - expanded from the original 6) and trying to keep over 7,000 links up to date, while adding new resources as good ones appear.
  
  
• We've jump started the month of June with the addition of the appropriate state employment office added to each state's listings of local Job and Career Search Resources (start with States and then choose the appropriate state name to see your state's resources listed).
  
  
• May, 2002, was a very busy month! We initiated the process of adding the associations listed in issues of the Online Job Search Guide to the other job search resources in the appropriate Job-Hunt categories as well as adding guidance on using those association resources and a category for all the association listings together:
  
  
  • the 32 engineering associations from the March 14 issue were added to the Engineering job sites category
    
    
  • the 36 medical and healthcare associations from the March 28 issue were added to the Medicine, Biotech, and Pharmaceutical job sites category).
    
    
  • a new article, "Tapping the Hidden Job Market," was added to the Getting Started area to help leverage those association listings.
    
    
  • a new section, "Associations and Societies," has been added to the Other Job Resources category. It will contain all of the association listings from the Job Hunting Guide newsletters, by job search category (e.g. Engineering, Medicine, etc.).
    
    
• In April, 2002, we started adding the most recent editions of our e-mailed newsletter, Online Job Search Guide, to Job-Hunt so that non-subscribers can benefit, too. We also expanded the criteria for Choosing a Job Site from 6 to 14 and added a PDF downloadable file for wider distribution.
  
  
• In March, 2002, Forbes Magazine selected Job-Hunt.Org as one of the Best of the Web for Job Hunting. What an honor! Thank you, Forbes!!!
  
  
• In January, 2002, we added the "Pick Your Employer" section to make it easier for job searchers to find jobs on employer Web sites and to research employers.
  
  
• In December, 2001, BIG NEWS: Job-Hunt is mentioned by Yahoo Internet Life in it's December issue as one of the best online resources for job seekers!
  
  In addition, we've started the process of added links to the major employers in each state, using our visitor statistics to guide us on the order to implement these additions (e.g., California is the most visited state page, so we started with California, then Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts). More to come in the next months.
  
  
• In November, 2001, we continued the process of modifying the category listings (as in August) with a clear emphasis on those sites which have privacy policies and support protecting job seeker privacy. In addition, in the state listings, we added links to information recently published by the U.S. Federal Government regarding each state's listings for the state's top employers, highest paying (and lowest paying) jobs, fastest growing (and slowest growing) jobs.
  
  
• In October, 2001, we expanded the special disaster-related listings for residents of New York and New Jersey. There's an amazing amount of information and support available for the families of the victims of 9-11. The support won't make up for the loss of a loved one, but it may help to ease the burden a bit. God bless you all.
  
  
• In September, 2001, we joined the rest of the nation grieving for the victims of the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks. One suspects that God has very little tolerance for murder done in the name of religion. The listings for the state of New York had some new special sites added to help residents cope with the events of 9-11.
• In August, 2001, we began the process of re-evaluating our site selection criteria and category design. The first category redesigned was the Academia and Education section. The others will follow.
• In July, 2001, we added a new advice section for people new to job hunting online, called, Starting Your Online Job Search. We also initiated our emailed newsletter Online Job Search Guide to keep subscribers up to date on the latest news from Job-Hunt, to answer questions, and more. In addition, we have also initiated our Job-Hunt Licensing Service for Website owners who want to add Web job site listings and other Job-Hunt content to their own sites.



• In June, 2001, we added a 12-page section of information on creating the Internet Resume and the "Cyber-Safe" Resume, resumes for the 21st century.
  
  
• In May, 2001, we added the section on Choosing a Job Site. Particularly with all the layoffs announced this year, it seems important to help novice on-line job seekers take advantage of the Internet for finding their new jobs as soon as possible, with the least amount of harm. When combined with Protecting Your Privacy, also updated this month, we feel that we are providing a complete picture.
  
  
• In January, 2001, the large Science, Engineering, and Medicine category was broken into three: Science, Engineering, and Medicine, Biotechnology, and Pharmaceutical.
  
  
• In October, 2000, added the Marketing and Sales section containing Web sites focused on sales and marketing positions.
  
  
• In August, 2000, added the Protecting Your Privacy section to help job seekers minimize the distribution of their contact information while conducting their job search on-line.
  
  
• In July, 2000, added the "Listings By Location" section for Web sites which focus on job listings and/or job-related resources for specific countries, other than the U.S., and, within the U.S., listings and resources for specific states or cities. In addition, Introduction to Recruiting On the Internet was added to help recruiters and employers understand how to approach this new, but extremely important, medium for reaching job applicants.
  
  
• In May, 2000, the section for Finance, Accounting, and Banking was added to help people interested in positions in those industries and/or professions.
  
  
• In April, 2000, the Internships and Summer Jobs category was added to help students obtain summer employment, and the Freelancing, Consulting, Contracting, and Temping was also added to help meet the needs of the new economy. In addition, a number of new medical sites were added to Science, Engineering, and Medicine.
  
  
• Law and Law Enforcement was added in March, 2000.
  
  
• Recruiting On the Internet was added to the Employers section in February, 2000.
  
  
• Computers and Technology was pulled out of the General section in February, 2000, and supplemented by additional sites.
  
  
• How to Use JOB-HUNT.ORG is was added in January, 2000. We added it to help people leverage all of the content at JOB-HUNT.ORG. We will continue to add this kind of visitor support.
  
  
• Hot Site of the Week is a new section of JOB-HUNT.ORG, added in October, 1999. Each Sunday a new site is added to the list. It can be accessed directly from the home page or from the new section, which collects all of the weekly selections and organizes them chronologically from newest to oldest.
  
  
• In September, 1999, we added a section called "Employment Super Sites" which covers the Internet employment "hubs" where there are thousands of jobs and resumes and tons of information for job seekers.
  
  
• In August, 1999, we added a new section for Job Fairs, the "real" ones versus the "virtual" ones.
  
  
• Check out the new HR Links section -- it is for recruiters and the other HR professionals who visit Job-Hunt.Org, added in August, 1999.
