Of course, you can also go around town and throw your resume at anyone with a "Help Wanted" sign in their window (though we would actually recommend handing your resume to the person in charge in a polite and professional manner, as throwing it may not be conducive to obtaining a job, and could conceivably even result in assault charges). If you'd really like to work someplace in particular, but they don't have openings listed, give them your resume anyways. Many local businesses hire as-needed based on resumes they receive unsolicited.

You can learn how to apply for different jobs at the job applications page.

2008-12-17 10:14:40   Does anyone know if UCD (campus, not health system) has a hiring freeze on right now? I'm guessing so since all their job openings have been removed from the website, but hadn't heard anything for sure. —AmLin
