Job search
While online googling is a great way
to begin your job search, it is a good
idea to journey to the area and schedule
face-to-face interviews before accepting
a position or moving. However, because
the area is so popular, many people do
pack up and move before fi nding employment.
The classifi ed section of the daily
newspaper contains many job openings.
Some ads may lead you to Internet sites
where you can explore individual companies.
Many employers with Web sites
have online job postings and applications.
You may wish to contact the Better
Business Bureau for information on the
reputation of a specifi c company. Web
sites offer broad and varied employment
information. Don’t be conned by sites
that make you pay for job listings.
Self-employment
There is also the option of owning
your own business. Being an entrepreneur
is a distinction thousands of people
in the Colorado Springs area share. There
are several organizations in place to help
ensure successful business start-ups and
operations. The Colorado Springs Greater
Chamber of Commerce sponsors an
online Small Business Resource Guide
at www.springssmallbiz.com with
information and links geared toward
operating a successful business.
