The largest numbers of openings seems to be at that one posting from Texas, comptech, and Raytheon, but the headhunters seem to be claiming that they have jobs all over the country. Try the companies that posted job requests before you give your resume to a headhunter, however. Dont pay people to do something until you have tried to do it yourself. Also, be aware of what you have to do to withdraw your resume from a headhunter, and how many years later the resume will surface, and especially be aware of the fact that headhunters are like judges, attorneys, policemen, and insurance agents in that it is not illegal for them to lie and break promises to you. If a headhunter tells you that it will be discretely used only to answer existing job requisitions, it is not against that law for that headhunter to make 1000 copies and send it to every company on the Internet or in the Yellow Pages, for example. Until the laws change to require truth, you will have to use a little caveat emptor. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I went mining it for jobs in my area and was quite pleasently suprised. The cool thing about dejanews (http://www.dejanews.com) is that it searches multiple newsgroups such as <your state here>.jobs, misc.jobs.offered, alt.headhunter... If you're flexible on location you might just find loads of work. I usually see several Ada jobs in Indiana! every day. The realy cool part is the fact that dejanews keeps posts forever (well, several weeks is forever on the 'net!) and catchs all the posts my wimpy ISP's server misses. good luck. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
