# Job Search - webcentive

Source: https://www.webcentive.com/shopjobs/  
Format: Markdown version of the HTML page (same content, lookups and page chrome left out).

Start with the free official tools: USAJOBS for federal jobs, CareerOneStop (U.S. Department of Labor) for your state's job bank, local American Job Centers, training and unemployment help, and the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook for pay and outlook by career. Then search the big job boards. Real employers never charge you to apply, never send you a check to deposit and forward, and never ask for your bank details before an offer. The FTC explains how to spot job scams and where to report them.
