* While most positions that you find online will be legitimate, be careful of job scams.
Professional associations maintain job boards, host networking events, and offer job searching advice specific to your field or industry.
Step 3: Identify Employers
Business journals (Business West, Worcester Business Journal, Boston Business Journal), Yellow Pages, Buzzfile or even Google Maps can be a good way to identify companies in your field and location. This step is more time consuming, but will generate additional job listings.
