I received this recent email from the marketing manager of a new job search engine called Indeed.com.It reminds you of Google, yet your searches uncover jobs. (Note: I stand firm on the fact 80% of jobs are never advertised and most people get jobs through networking. This is a good source for the 10% of your job serach time via the web.)

Below is the note…Contact Sophie and visit the site.

"I read your blog today regarding a frustrated job seeker asking you for help. You made some great points about how time-consuming the job search process can be and to keep a strong focus on networking. The reason I’m contacting you is because you mentioned online job searches, and I wanted to introduce you to Indeed.com. If you haven’t heard of us, we are the most comprehensive job search engine pulling job listings from thousands of job boards, newspapers and companies. We pride ourselves in the fact that we provide the freshest job listings and do whatever we can to put the job seeker first. Many people write to tell us how much time Indeed.com saved them, and how efficient our emailed Job Alerts and many other tools are for them.

I realize that you are focusing on specific locations within Virginia. In turn, I searched how many listings would come up for Roanoke Virginia and came up with 4,081! For Virginia alone, the results page gave me 137,021!

Thanks for your time and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions."
