Between work, school, family, and friends, we know you’re busy. So when you need information, you need it fast! Here’s how to find just about any information you need online for free. Bookmark these Websites we found in Woman’s World magazine.
- First, to learn about new jobs: Try Indeed.com. This site compiles the latest job openings from thousands of websites. All you have to do is type the position you want, along with a zip code from the area you’d like to work, and a list of fresh new job postings will appear.
- Here’s a great site to try if you can’t remember someone’s birthday: BirthDatabase.com. Simply type a person’s first and last name, as well as their approximate age, and this site will scour millions of public government records for the closest match, anywhere in North America!
- Next, to track down an old friend: Try either Wink.com or Pipl.com. These are two “deep Web” search sites, which scour public and private internet pages – including profiles on social networking sites like LinkedIn or MySpace. They’ll provide you with links to profiles, blogs, photos and – in some cases - even phone numbers.
- Next, if you need to run a background check on someone: Try BRBpub.com or CriminalSearches.com. Before you hire a new contractor or babysitter, ask them for a list of references along with their full name and birth date. Then, type that information into one of these sites for a peek at their criminal record – if they have one. If one name turns up many hits, consider that a red flag.
- How about if you have questions about the safety of your medication? Try this site: Drugs.com/drug_interactions.php. Type a full list of all the vitamins, medications and supplements that you take into this site. Then it’ll alert you of any potential interactions that could be harmful to your health.
- Finally, to get help writing the perfect resume: Try Razume.com. Just upload your current resume to this site, and a workplace professional will contact you with ideas to help tailor it in a way that’ll grab an employer’s attention. For an extra fee, they’ll also provide all the tools and resources you need to find and land the perfect job.
