PA/NJ job resources? →[More:]
I'm thinking about relocating to the Philly/NJ/PA area for family reasons, but I need a job before I move (I've already moved once w/o a job, a year and a half ago, and still don't have anything full-time). Can anyone point me to some good local jobs websites (I'm familiar with the big national ones--craigslist, yahoo, monster, etc.) so I can see what's out there? Name some local companies I might try?

I used to be a librarian, currently do website database management, teach sunday school and Hebrew school, and work in a comic book store. I am willing to do pretty much any job if it is full-time with benefits.

The standard library jobs sites will be decent if you could see wedging yourself into a systems type position. NJLA and PA Libraries would be good places to look. NJ seems to be a really good place to do library work if you can see yourself doing something like that again. Nice young mostly interesting crowd, decent amount of turnover so not full of lifers. I could point you to some folks to chat with if you'd like, friends of mine who work in the area. Email me username@gmail if you'd like people to talk to.

I am no help except to say that I grew up in South Jersey outside Philly, and work in that area still, and live in Central Jersey, so when you move here feel free to get in touch! If I hear of any leads on jobs you might be interested in, I will let you know.
