I am currently trying to job hunt and am interested in a financial counseling position with a non-profit compant. I DO NOT want to work for a credit card company...only non-profits! I am having a horrible time finding any jobs that are anything close to what I want to do. I am using Monster and Yahoo Hotjobs and can't find a thing. Anyone have any search tips for this career or any other sites that could help me? Thanks!! And btw, I will be an AFC (an Accredited Financial Counselor) soon so I have more than the needed experience and credentials.

I saw a job search advice tips article an one of the things it warned about was that you can't really effectively search for work online all the time. IT seems however, that all of the job listings are online. How do I go about finding ones available without being stuck behind my computer?

I need something slightly more detailed than white pages such as employer or career. I am trying to recruit people from a company that closed down. I am having a lot of problems finding numbers for these people other than their disconnected work numbers. If anyone can help or even give some search tips that would be greatly appreciated. I am not trying to hassle these people, I am trying to offer them a job so it is not a telemarketing scheme or anything, I promise!!!

I live in a relatively small city and I've been searching for a job for some time. Since I'm going to college, I'd like a part time one rather than full time. I would also say I'm qualified for a variety of jobs as I am Bilingual, have a 3.7 college GPA, and I've previously worked retail before. I haven't had luck lately and I need some more help for finding a job quick for my expenses! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I've been having a really hard time getting jobs and i've done many applications however i haven't received a call yet. I also never held a job before so this would be my first. How long would i have to wait to hear a respond? Also Does anyone have any tips for me? The jobs i've been applying in are mainly in the clothing stores, since it deals with somewhat of a design and art.

What are some good websites to use when searching for employment? I am a recent college grad, so I am looking for entry-level employment. The more and the best quality websites you list, the better. Also, if you can provide any job-searching or interview tips, that would be helpful too.

I work for myself teaching first aid courses since illness forced me to quit my last job but I'm having trouble making ends meet and I don't have much of a budget for advertising.

I've been searching for jobs and am convinced there aren't any in the area. I'm considering web cam modeling and would like to know from someone whose done if they know any safe, reliable sites for men. For bonus points: I'm very feminine looking and often crossdress. A site that openly promotes that sort of thing would be awesome. Thanks again in advance!

Hi! Im looking into relocating with my husband and son to either Oahu or Big Island. We dont have jobs yet, although I been sending resumes. I have seen that most of the jobs are in Oahu, but the cheapest rent is in Big Island. Personally I would like Big Island, but the jobs are not as much as Oahu. I am putting on my resumes that I dont need relocation assistance, but still I think that becuase they see that I am from the mainland, they dont actually respond. I have two or three that have told me just this. I am a professional, and I know that I woul have no problem finding a job, once I am there; but my questions are: any tips on where is the most affordable places to live in Oahu and Big Island for a 2 bedroom? Any tips on jobs? Anybody knows assistance programs that help people that has just arrived? Any other helpful tips? As others already reply, I am not just a "dreamer" looking for paradise. I was born and raise in Puerto Rico ( an island in the Caribbean) for 20 something years. So I know all to well the island life. I have been living in the mainland for some time now and I want to go back to my roots, I am searching for something similar to my homeland, and that place is Hawaii. As for work I have a Masters in Accounting and HR and I have 4+ years experience in the hotel industry becuase I work in many hotels in Puerto Rico. So as anybody can see, I will have no problem in hawaii.

I am constantly searching for a job, preferably one with working with the Deaf, because I hope I can become an interpreter/teacher for the Deaf. I would want a job closer to Northern Virginia (Woodbridge) not anywhere too far such as Washington D.C. or Richmond. Thanks for any help!
