Update On Job Stes

Jobs, help-wanted, employment. Whether you’re unemployed and looking, or already employed and looking to make a change, job searches take up a lot of time.
There are a lot of jobs out there, but that’s the problem. They’re not here, but rather, out there. If you have a family, or a two job home, relocating isn’t usually an option. An Internet job search means going from site to site, which is time consuming and frustrating. On each site you can narrow your search to find something close enough to commute to. Unless you want "get rich working from home", there really aren’t a lot of local opportunities. Many of us are already employed. It’s still fun to look at what’s available. Maybe we’l find something that is more satisfying, better paying, or at least closer to home. It’s nice to look, but we don’t have the time to spend hours sorting out the garbage to find real jobs we’d actually apply for.
We’ve developed a group of sites dedicated to employment in the local area. Each concentrates on a 25 mile radius around their area.
These sites collect job postings from many companies and other job boards across the Internet. We save you time by gathering all those job posts so you don’t spend hours of your own. You can also narrow your search to construction jobs, or retail jobs for instance, or expand it to include other areas of the country. For job seekers it’s all free, no fees, no registration. Employers pay to post these jobs, so you’ll find very few multi-level marketing and work-from-home junk ads. These are real jobs in the local area.
These sites are also designed with employers in mind. Most of the jobs available locally aren’t the kind of job people relocate for. Sure, the Internet is a good place to search for a CEO, or other upper level management. Most employers don’t do a national search for a secretary or a carpenter. Posting a job on Monster.com costs $225 and gets lumped in with "US-Pennsylvania-Erie". Posting a job listing on BradfordPAJobs.com, or one of our other sites costs $99 for 30 days. When you post a job through one of our sites, it not only goes into the national network, it’s also displayed at the top of all the local listings. Local employers reach the people they need most, qualified local workers.
As always, we want your comments. Each site has a "Contact Us" link. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please let us know!
