20 Places to Find Your Next Web Development Job (sitepoint.com)
37 points by sitepoint on Oct 10, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 11 comments



Find your next web development job locally. Get out and network with your local business community. It's a lot more effective than competing on SitePoint or Elance with 20 'offshore' firms on a 100 hour project for a measly $500.


In a similar vein, I'm working on a site to find programming gigs for you http://gigbayes.nfshost.com.

I'm thinking to announce it to HN in a week or so but some early feedback here would also be appreciated.

Let me know what you think, it uses a Bayesian classifier to predict what gigs you'll like, and it's my first ajaxy web app.


Nice idea.

The formatting is messed up in my browser, FF3: the star usually appears above the gig, sometimes to the left. Horizontal lines often run through the middle of the text.

I assume that clicking the star indicates your preference for that gig and similar. There are no instructions that I see. Can I unclick a star? I may have misclicked.

There should be some indication that the large box in the middle of the page is loading something when you first go there. I thought maybe it was a plugin that hadn't loaded, and while scrolling to the bottom, it got populated (surprise!).

But, yeah, a very nice idea.


I'm not seeing any layout issues on FF3. Anything unusual on your browser or OS? Would you mind emailing me?


Sent.


Thanks. I'm still working on the layout, but good suggestions, I'll make sure to do those.


his #1 option is sitepoint....the few times I looked at that site most of the "jobs" were huge ass projects for $500


his #1 option is sitepoint

Presumably that's because this is the SitePoint blog. It looks like they found 19 examples just so they could make a top 20 list with SitePoint first. Lame.


By not including Craigslist, he immediately decredits himself in my eyes.


He missed a good one: http://jobs.joelonsoftware.com/


really good list across a variety of professions.
