Below are just a few examples of what is available on the Internet for local employment information. Most colleges, universities, businesses, and institutions have online web sites where jobs are listed and where you can often apply online and submit a resume.
To find these try doing a search in one of the search engines, like Google, consisting of the name of the institution and add phrases like "hr" - "employment" - "jobs" - etc. (without quotation marks).
Some things you might keep in mind about online employment sites:
-
Often you will have to register and create a user name and password - write these down - or find a freeware program you can load on a flash drive to keep track of your login information.
-
These are free services and often technical help is simply not there or low on the institutions priorities if you forget your login information.
-
If the site allows you to attach/upload a resume look for instructions or a statement telling you what format(s) they will accept your resume in; or whether you have to type (cut & paste) it in a form.
See the handout in the LRC by Pongo: Choosing the Right Format to Send Your Resume. -
Templates and fancy resumes ... you have no idea what word processor the person viewing your resume will be using. Not all companies have switched to Word 2007 for example, keep this in mind when you are creating your resume. With these sites you are best to keep it simple!
Here are some local resources for jobs.
Kentucky Personnel Cabinet (you can search towards the bottom of the page, but eventually you have to register to apply for anything. If you register I think you can save your searches so you don’t have to do them each time.)
Office of Employment and Training – Lexington area
Kentucky.com Classifieds (Herald-Leader online)
Kentucky Occupational Outlook to 2018 - Which jobs will be in demand in Kentucky from now until 2018? Which occupations will provide the most job openings each year through 2018?

Students, job seekers, counselors, economic developers and market analysts should find this publication helpful.
