There are hundreds of organizations throughout Oregon that post their job openings to this site.
www.iMatchSkills.org
This innovative and award winning website matches your skills to the skills needed in local job postings.
Social Networking Sites
Sites like Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, and Linkedin can help you find a job. You can let others know you are looking for a job, or look for company pages that mention job openings. Companies don't just put up a Myspace page and expect you to find it, though they will be thrilled if you do. They also use Myspace and similar sites to look for potential new hires. A rule of thumb - never put anything on your social networking site that you don't want your grandmother to see. Remember, your potential boss could be viewing your site.
