At the moment I lack any impressive qualifications and am looking for an entry-level type job, and doing so is very difficult on the internet. The majority of positions are not advertised; you must seek out the grease bins yourself. However, there has got to be a better way. If and when jobs are currently advertised, they are cryptic, evasive, suspicious seeming, or have positions that are too highly advanced for poor mortal job seekers. And there aren't enough good leads. I was envisioning a web site that, unlike online classified ads, actually provided the name and contact information of advertising employers. And, unlike monster.com and others, it would be targeted specifically at the local entry level market.

The site would actively contact local business owners and ask them to voluntarily report job openings and closings on a regular basis. It's fairly obvious who to call: large call centers, restaurants, and retail stores. It just makes employment a little easier for those still looking. A little more work could be put into finding more unique positions as well. This type of site would probably have to be independently set up locally in each city to work well. It would feature internship information and possible freelancing opportunities too.

To sum it up, a more informative, more detailed, and more-up-to-date local-based job search database for the up-and-coming in society.

Maybe they could add online applications and resume services. Revenue would be paid by businesses seeking employees, and by ads: employer fees would be kept as low as possible.
