JobsBlog.ie

Be careful what you wish for! I want a new job web site (iwantanewjob.ie) is still in Beta phase, but it does look like a job site already. The prominent placement of the job search facility on the home page is good. Job advertising is free until the end of January 2010. The pricing is [...]
