JobHunt
A Meta-list of On-Line Job-Search Resources and Services
Last Updated: 13 April 1995, 8:45 pm PDT
The purpose of this server is to provide a listing of useful internet
accessable job-search resources and services. These include job
search/retrieval systems, and/or places to which you may submit your resume.
No attempt has been made to list every job listing on the
internet here. Only those services which are relatively stable and appear
to be useful or relevant to a broad range of job types and geographical
locations are listed.
If you find a "stale" link in this list, or know of any job-search resources
that are not in this listing but you feel should be, please contact
dane@rescomp.stanford.edu
Disclaimer: I make no claims as to the reliability of the
servers listed here, nor the information contained therein.
NOTE: Please, DO NOT send me requests for
job information, resumes, or individual job postings. I don't put any of that
information up on the web, and every job service I know about is already
listed below. Contact any one of the job services below if you wish to post
something, or want additional information.
- New Items which are less than
a week old.
- Outstanding Job Resources -
good places to start your job search.

only part of the time.
Although it's not something we usually like to think about, or associate
with looking for a job, I figured this might be useful. The IRS now has
on-line WWW-accessable versions of their
