Finding A Job

We all know that there are numerous job hunting sites. I know quite a few people who have had enormous luck finding new jobs by posting their business resumes online. The problem with those sites, though, is that they’re geared toward management and white collar.

I’ve been trying to help my husband find work for the winter. My husband is one of the best brick and stone masons in the country. His work speaks for itself and you can’t really put that in a resume. Sure, he’s run projects; he’s ordered materials, estimated and managed crews. But his forte is his eye for beauty.

Although the pictures are lovely, the home my husband worked on in Hawaii is just breathtaking in real life. He and my son built every arch, laid each stone from the house to the barbecue to the bridge over the lagoon style pool. In fact, my husband laid the block on that house in 2001.

Anyway, he’s now looking for work since things are slowing down around here with the cold weather. I’ve had no luck at the traditional job search engines but I have found a number of leads at Simply Hired and Indeed. These sites seem to include a wider variety of occupations.

I’ve just discovered the employment forum at Indeed so I’m going to look through there to learn even more about online job searches. If you know of other good job search sites, especially for the construction industry, let me know. And if you know of someone who needs a top-notch brick and stone mason, drop me a note. I know the best!
