No more stomping the pavement:Online Applications and Tools

The new online tools are really making an impact on everyday life. We now have websites for purchasing books, researching health topics, genealogical research and much more. One of my favorite is Career Builder (http://www.careerbuilder.com/); a site for searching employment opportunities (not that I'm looking).
Career Builder lets you look by state, city, job type, time posted (you can search by most recently posted to those ads posted weeks prior). Being able to search by time posted comes in handy. If you have access to the web 24/7 you have the opportunity to be the first to see the position posted. It also has a link that allows you to see the average pay for a particular field in certain locations.
One important feature of this site is that it allows you to create an account (free) and request notifications of positions that fit the criteria you presented. For those who are seeking employment today, sites like Career Builder takes a situation most find unpleasant to be in, a little more stress free.
