Most of the good sites on the internet aren't free anymore, and the larger ones (like monster) have become quite expensive. If you're doing a lot of hiring, monster makes a lot of sense. One retail position doesn't really merit the cost. Hotjobs.com might be a source - they're not as expensive as monster.
Yahoo! has resumes, but they're often out of date and/or irrelevant to what you're looking for. Best guess is to just use your web browser to search for resumes, then go through the sites to see if one fits. America's Job Bank is a national database from state unemployment offices; you could also try the local 40+ chapters. |

I used to work for a retail outfit. We got very few responses from the internet. The newspaper was better. However, monster at $300 for one ad was way less expensive than the washington post. And we did get a few from monster. Yahoo classifieds does work for retail jobs. we tried dcjobs.com and did not get any hits.

By using wwww.alltheweb.com it is possible to search free sites for individuals looking for employment.

Have you considered looking for passive resumes? Try using alta vista (using the power search and boolean operators) or mamma.com (or any of the meta-search engines - try using the job title or a similar job and the word "resume"). Also, I find a lot of people in the virtual communities (geocities.com). You can find people's homepages (which usually contain resumes!) or sometimes people simply post their resumes on the Internet. Even though these people aren't actively seeking employment and posting their resumes on monster or hotjobs, they must be somewhat vulnerable to the temptation of another job or they wouldn't have put their resume on the Internet! |
