EXP.com
This intriguing site offers benefits to both casual
visitors and independent businesspeople looking for
a place to market their expertise. On the one hand,
it's a place for Web surfers to find experts who can
answer their questions; on the other hand, it's a
place for experts to sell advice or consultations,
or to offer their services for a fee. Even if they
answer questions for free, experts can build up an
online reputation and drum up new business in both
the virtual and the real words. It's an interesting
concept. |

FreeAgent.com
If you've struck out on your own and are now selling
"the brand you," you'll find lots of help
at this home base for freelancers and e-lancers of
all kinds. There's more here than just chat rooms
and articles. You can find services like insurance
and retirement plans that are sometimes hard to get
when you're self-employed. It's a must-see for the
SOHO set. |

HotJobs.com
HotJobs has about 3,000 registered recruiters looking
over the resumes of over 300,000 people who have listed
themselves at the site. What's different and interesting
here is that headhunters aren't allowed, you can block
your resume from being seen by companies you specify,
and recruiters can create multiple-choice quizzes
for any potential applicant to take before his or
her resume is passed along. Talk about cost-effective
recruiting techniques!

Monster.com
The most compelling addition to this massive job-hunting
site is the Talent Market, a place where 97,000 "e-lancers"
have put their skills up for bids. If you'd rather
find a more traditional job, you can search the database
by location (in the U.S. or abroad) and company, create
a resume, apply online, and do company research. According
to recent ratings, Monster.com gets twice as much
traffic as its nearest competitor, and that's certainly
a sign of a vibrant jobs marketplace.

Networker.com
Much of your professional success comes through the
people you know and the people you meet. But where
can you find them? Networker.com has editors in 21
major cities whose job it is to alert you to events,
trade shows, and association meetings in your areas
of expertise. Just sign up and tell the site where
you live and what you're interested in. Soon you'll
be getting e-mails telling you where to go and who
you may be meeting with. It's a good way for e-lancers
to make some new connections. |
