Resources for Maryland Job Seekers
It's a tough time to be looking for a job, and to make matters worse, not all jobs are posted on every website. So the right job for you might be available, but you don't know because you're not checking the right sites. While the big job sites like HotJobs, Monster, and CareerBuilder have a lot of listings, job seekers in Maryland might have better luck with some of these local sites:*BaltimoreTechJobs.comIf you're looking for a job in a technology-related industry, BaltimoreTechJobs.com is a good place to look. The jobs posted there cover a wide variety of positions, including technical writer, program manager, and budget analyst. The site lacks a search feature, however, which makes it a little unwieldy.*DBM.Maryland.govAt this page on the Maryland.gov site, you can view Maryland state jobs that are currently open. You can filter the listings by agency, job category, or full-time/part-time, and you can search using keywords and locations. As of this article, there are currently over 300 jobs listed on this site.*MarylandJobs.comMarylandJobs.com is more than just a job search site. (Even though you can use it to search for jobs.) There are articles about current job trends across the country; tips on writing resumes, writing cover letters, and interviewing; and links to other helpful resources. There is also a list of upcoming Maryland job fairs with descriptions of each one.*GarrettChamber.comIf you're looking for a job in Garrett County, check the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce website. The jobs are typed out on one page, but most of them include detailed descriptions and they all list contact information.*AACounty.orgAt the AACounty.org website, you can view current postings for Anne Arundel County government jobs. The jobs are organized by agency, and you can apply for any of them online (as long as the deadline hasn't passed).*MetroBaltimoreJobs.comMetroBaltimoreJobs.com has "local jobs for local talent." Job seekers can search for open positions in or around the city (as far away as Bethesda, Silver Spring, or Bel Air) and you can filter your search by job category. Searches can also be divided up by salary type - Hourly/Skilled, Professional/Technical, or Executive. There is even a calendar of upcoming local career events.
