- I'm a job board entrepreneur. Launched in 2009 my most recent project is the JustJobs.com network -- a collection of job search engines developed by my company LatPro, Inc. for the USA. An innovator in the online employment industry, I launched LatPro.com in 1997 when it became the very first job board connecting Hispanic bilingual job seekers with recruiters searching for multilingual and multicultural professionals. LatPro is a charter member of the International Association of Employment Websites.
In 2006, LatPro launched DiversityJobs.com, its first job search engine for a wider audience of minority groups. LatPro's job boards are consistently ranked at the top having won WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Award for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 – The Elite of the Online Employment Industry.
I have been writing about job boards since 2006 on my blog at InternetInc.com where you can read about my fascination with the free classified movement. JustJobs.com grew from this interest and a strong desire to create more value for job seekers, employers and job boards.

How to choose a job board
Just like a balanced diet that includes bread AND fruit, job boards should be a part of your job search - just not the only part. With over 100,000 job sites out there, you can certainly find one that caters to your profession and industry. Here's how.
The first step: know thyself. Which industry are you targeting? Which job title? Are you at the beginning of your career, or an experienced pro? You must have a clear idea of your employment targets before searching for the right job… Continue

Pay job boards - should job seekers spend money to find a job?
from a blog post on paid jobsites:
From the start of job boards in the mid 1990s until now, the vast majority of job and career sites have worked on a simple economic model: job seekers don’t pay, employers do. In fact, the concept of free access to a job site’s listings was so ingrained that TheLadders actually…Continue

I enjoyed your Blog post on the recession. There was a similar article in The New American about three or four months ago on the subject of "How the Workplace will Change" I believe. Anyway your article was extremely informative and interesting.
I have just arrived in Texas, having moved from Seattle WA. and have placed myself on the job market for not quite 2 months ago. Yes it is brutal out there, but you can't survive very long if you keep a negative attitude and center in on the bad aspects of career searching and the economy being bad at the present time. Anyway, I will keep watching your blog site and check in once and awhile. Thanks Again,
