Okay, back to square one. I guess that I will go through the sites from the list I got from the Job Center. Some of the links are dead, while others are beyond redundant. I will continue to use my Indeed.com searches to generate leads in addition to my bookmarked ideal places of employment, but I need to cast a bigger net.

Here's what they have from A-E:


America’s Career Info Net
America’s Employer’s
America’s job Bank
Best Jobs USA
Brass Ring
Can Get It
The Career Builder Network
Career Buzz
Career City

Teaching Info Literacy

Got word the other day that I will teach something worthwhile with regards to my master's degree.

Librarians in academic settings teach information literacy, so teaching at a occupational college a class by such name will add to my professional experience within my field.

Just have to create lesson plans and other odds and ends, and I am set for day one.

Gotta have a job to get experience that counts. I'm 1/10th of the way to my goal of getting back into full-time employment.

Job Search sites from Job Center List

A few weeks ago, I decided to see what the "One Stop" had to offer with regards to job postings that I was not seeing, and I was told they had nothing beyond what is available on a three page list of links: Not sure how how old the sheet is, but just looking at the the first eight give an indication that it's a little dated.

I  have enough searches in Indeed.com and sites that hire within my profession bookmarked that visiting these sites is a bit redundant, thus making my visit to the Job Center a waste of time for me.

I apply for jobs that I can do, and how to get interviewed. Most of the time, I'm either overqualified or not experienced enough in what they are looking to fill.

I had an interview yesterday for a position that is a perfect fit for my background and experience. I actually didn't apply for the job, but rather for a position posted a few weeks ago. I was under the impression I had a good chance of getting the job for which I applied, since I got called the business day after applying, but hadn't heard anything until the other position was posted.
