Outside of the government, most new jobs are created by small companies, especially start-ups. But how do you find them?That question was posted on the career counselors' Yahoo! group of which I'm a member and here were the responses:
- Megan Pittsley wrote:
- "Search job boards (including indeed and craigslist) with just the word
"start-up" or "startup" to pull up start up companies who are hiring
- Search www.meetup.com to find start-up group meetings
- East Bay Innovations Group (www.ebig.org)" - Susan Dittman wrote: "You may want to search Google for venture capital companies mostly located on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park. Also the Keiretsu Forum which is an angel investor group."

Also be sure to go into LinkedIn and search "groups" - use the word 'startups' and you'll find hundreds of groups you can join.
