Who's Hiring in 2011?

Of course, that's the billion dollar question when you're looking for a job. Online job boards, general and industry-specific alike, supply millions and millions of postings. Sites will send you email or tweets or text messages about available positions in your particular field. Company Web sites also list job openings that might not be seen on the big boards.

In fact, it's likely a full time job just trying to find out who's hiring.

The promise is that HuffPost readers "can be sure that real people are recommending real jobs, in real terms." 

Just a couple of more resources that might help you go get your job.
