If your job search is stalled, take a break from looking for specific job openings and focus on finding the companies that are hiring now. Here's how to do it.
A very powerful tool to use is run by the US Department of Labor. Their website, CareeronestopDOT org, under Job Search, look for Business Finder. Then put in a job title and the report from Data Axle will tell you every company in your area that reported to the Federa Government (EEOC, IRS or OSHA) that they employed someone with that job title in the last fiscal year. You can search within that by industry, company size, and other factors. It doesn't mean that they have an opening, but they might, especially if you know someone who works there.
