Answer 1

These are the ones I recommend the most often for job seekers in the U.S.:

* Indeed.com - http://www.indeed.com

Indeed is an "aggregator" which means it collects jobs from job sites (like Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder) as well as from employers, news papers, etc., so you go to one central place to search for the jobs.

It will give connect you with more jobs that you would find on Monster, HotJobs, or CareerBuilder by themselves.

I just did a search on "carpenter" in Atlanta, GA, and got 71 results; 51 in Charleston, SC; 14 in Hilton Head; 10 in Myrtle Beach; and 38 in Miami.

* Craigslist.org - http://www.craigslist.org/

Craigslist is a giant online classifieds site, broken up by location. There are "jobs" and "gigs" (project assignments). The jobs are posted in reverse chronological order (newest at the top, oldest at the bottom), so you have to keep visiting or sign up for an RSS feed. Also check the "gigs" for short-term and part-time jobs.

Craigslist is often used by smaller companies because it's cheaper than Monster, et al. Criagslist ads are not usually collected by aggregators like Indeed.com.

Because posting is so often free, you need to be a little careful using Craig's List. For some tips, see Using Craigslist to Find a job - http://www.job-hunt.org/onlinejobsearchguide/article_guide_to_craigslist.shtml

* Job-Hunt.org - http://www.job-hunt.org/

There are over 8,400 links to employers (including all of the Fortune 500 employers on 1 page) and job search resources on Job-Hunt, including over 6,300 organized by state - online classifieds from local newspapers as well as links to the various local Craigslist sites, state and local government jobs, colleges and universities, the state Employment Office, and many other employers.

Job-Hunt will show you other places to find jobs (local classified ads, etc.) and it will also give you some employers who may not be listing jobs on Indeed or Craigslist but who may have jobs open, too.

Be sure to check out the job search networking sites where you can make connections with employers and other job seekers, usually for free or very low cost.

* XPDNC - http://www.xpdnc.com/links/lobclrus.html

Pick the state you want, and this site will link you to the Website or contact information of the local branches of many labor unions, presumable including carpenters.

Good luck with your job search!

For a troublesome initiate, examine the commercials in the Edmonton mag. almost any structure organization in Western Canada is determined for workers in the present day. it is the link, there are 40 5 classified ads for carpenters in immediately's paper. solid searching!

Answer 4

You could always try and join the carpenters union. Theres a good local in richmond(where i live), pay is 22 an hour, but even non union theres tons of work in the tidewater region(southeast) va, but the pay isnt to great. about 15-18 dollers to start is the pay for a good carpenter. but theres TONS of work.

Good tradesmen are very hard to find. You would best do some contracting then go self employed. I paid 250 a day to a handyman who does general odd jobs round the home. he must be making a fortune. Are you UK or US?
