Guide to the Top Pittsburgh Employment Websites

Since the steel mills shut down years ago, Pittsburghers have heard much talk about how bleak the Pittsburgh employment market has been. While the Pittsburgh employment market may not be as booming as other national markets, there are plenty of jobs to find in Pittsburgh, but you need to know where to find them. National websites such as Monster and Career Builder do list Pittsburgh employment opportunities, but sometimes these local jobs are listed on regional websites. If you are concentrating your job searching efforts to Pittsburgh, then here are some of the top Pittsburgh employment websites that you may want to look at during your job search.

The Pittsburgh Technology Council website not only discusses local technology issues, but also has a great Careers section which features many Pittsburgh employment opportunities. Note that although most of the employers are technology-based, the Pittsburgh employment opportunities listed can range from IT to purchasing to writing, so it makes sense to take a look even if you are not a technology-based worker. You can also post your resume to the website, allowing local employers to let you know if they think that you're a fit for a job.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette website allows users to search Pittsburgh employment opportunities by keyword or category, making for a much quicker search than actually reading through the Sunday classifieds (although sometimes it is nice to look through the actual Pittsburgh employment listings in the newspaper to get a better idea of which companies are hiring).
