is the federal site, is for state jobs, and Google 'Portland Metro' for local.ДЄnother little trick is when you find a job you're interested in, Google the job title and company name, and see what other websites it's posted on. Google and you will find them.ДЇor 'green' jobs, search for Sustainable Business Oregon and PDX Green Drinks.Дon't forget government jobs. One is called Mac's List, and the other is CNRG Portland. To make this more worthwhile for you, I'll share a couple tips I picked up along the way.ДЇor those of you out there who are looking for nonprofit jobs in Portland, I found two mailing lists that were particularly helpful. Perhaps my story is boring you all to tears, but I always enjoyed reading about others' experiences while I was searching for jobs.

It's been an interesting ride, to say the least! That didn't pan out either, but someone else from that second interview later invited me to apply for another job - which is the one I ultimately got. I should also mention that my very first interview in Portland led to two subsequent interviews, which demonstrates the importance of networking! Someone who interviewed me last summer later changed jobs himself and invited me to apply for a position with his new company. I suppose that's not too terrible considering the economy, but I do feel that I would've fared MUCH better if I had been a local candidate. I landed interviews for 4 of the 16 positions. That probably doesn't seem like a lot, but A) I was searching for a job in the nonprofit sector, which isn't very large in Portland B) I only applied for jobs that I felt I was 100% qualified for and C) for several months I was simultaneously applying and interviewing for jobs in NYC, where I lived for six years prior to moving to Ohio.

To summarize my job search experience: I began 11 months ago and applied for 16 positions between then and now. because I believe I am the second person from Ohio to receive a job offer in Portland this week! I am beyond thrilled to be joining you all in what I think is one of the most beautiful cities in the country!

There must be something in the air
