You. Your spouse. Your kid. Your best friend. Your kid's best friend's brother-in-law. Everyone knows someone who's looking for a job. And the jobs are out there, if you look in the right places -- and if you're willing to spend a little time. Here I've compiled my strategy and some good links for finding job listings. While this lens focuses on St. Louis area jobs, you can use these tips, and many of these links no matter where you live. Today, St. Louis... Tomorrow, the WORLD!

Search Engine Shuffle 

Everyone knows Monster. Depending on your field, these giant job sites might have thousands of opportunities for you -- or they may have none. Either way, they're a good place to start.
Monster
It's Monster. Do you really need more description?
HotJobs (Yahoo)
Yahoo's Job Search Engine
Career Builder
The one with all those commercials about people who found jobs.
Craigslist St. Louis
Click on your category of interest under "Jobs" for the latest listings.

Newsprint Hands? 

So you get your little red pen and you go through the classifieds. But, just like those big search engines, depending on your skill set, you may find lots of jobs, or you may find none. Check them anyway, but know that any job listed will most likely have hundreds of applicants you'll have to compete with.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Search the classifieds of both the Post and the Suburban Journals at the same time!

Tips for Searching on www.stltoday.com 

How To Find What You're Looking For

Searching the Post classifieds online is actually pretty easy. Just follow these simple tips:

1. Brainstorm search terms that will most likely appear under the listings you want. Generally, I search for jobs for a graphic designer friend. Here's what my list looks like: graphic, design, designer, artist, printer, prepress, advertising, marketing Avoid using terms that are too general, unless you don't mind sifting through hundreds of results.

2. Enter your search terms, then select to match on Any Words. This will show you listings that list at least one of your keywords.

3. Select to search under Job Description. Employers don't always choose the best title for their ads, so always search the descriptions for a mention of your keywords.

4. Select your search period. Do you check these every day? Then select the last day to see only the newest ads. I check less than daily, so I almost always choose the last week to see ads from the last 7 days. Your other options are the last month and all.

5. Search!

Big Business Is Our Friend 

There are many companies that call St. Louis home. At branch locations and franchises, you're likely to find only jobs directly related to what they do. Like Wal-Mart. If you apply here, they'll have positions for salespeople, inventory people, greeters, and everything else needed at the store level. But, if you're in Bentonville, Arkansas, and you apply at Wal-Mart, a whole list of "corporate" jobs opens to you. Think accounting, advertising, computer programming, research, franchise management... anything! Here's a list of a few big companies that are headquartered here (in no particular order). Links will take you directly to their career sites when possible.
Express Scripts
A "Pharmacy Benefit Management" company.
Energizer
You know, like the Bunny.
Dierbergs
One of our local Grocery Stores.
Brown Shoe
Nothing like Al Bundy.
Edward Jones

The Missouri Botanical Gardens
Got a green thumb?
The St. Louis Zoo
Not just for zookeepers!
