If you are looking for resources to support you in getting a new job, here are three of my favorites.

• The first is TheLadders.  Sign up for their FREE career-hunting tips.   The tips are really terrific.  (Yes, you’ll have to say you are looking for a six figure income.  I’m sure you won’t object.)  There is also a higher level of membership that you can access by paying a fee.  My friends that are in the corporate world say that that level of membership is worth every penny if you’re looking for the big bucks.

• I really love Penelope Trunk’s blog, Brazen Careerist.  You might want to check it out.

• And, I think you might find AskLizRyan to be useful.  Check out her website, her blog and her online discussion list.

If you have additional resources for job hunting, you can share them with us below.
