SEO UPDATES

I recently landed an SEO job through Craigslist, that grassroots directory-slash-community that began in San Francisco, California and has been since expanding to reach the global community (and recently, the universal community). I always thought of Craigslist as a place to find free giveaways–a garage sale, so to speak, for those of us who really have no money. After several friends and associates prodded me toward the directory as a place to find work, however, I finally settled in for a few days of some serious Craigslist job searching.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a variety of listings for both freelance and full-time SEO positions. Anyone looking for a local SEO position should definitely check out Craigslist, as the directory is a very user-friendly and dynamic resource; fresh jobs are prevalent there, with outdated listings being removed regularly. Due to its organic and localized nature, the directory seems much more useful for IT and IT-related job seekers than other, and often more commercial, employment directories. This may be an illusion, of course, but one thing’s for certain–at least with Craiglist you might find some free stuff while you’re looking for that SEO job.

Good Day All,

We are a marketing firm specializing in Online Gaming & Poker and are looking to hire a Senior(if possible) Search Engine Optimization and Marketing Specialist/Manager.

We would prefer to have a local candidate, or someone who comes from Ontario or Canada, but relocation is an option if absolutely necessary.

Rusty, Danny, and other Moderators, any ideas on how and where I can find Toronto based SEO’s looking for work?

If anyone is interested - Please PM me..

Cheers
