THE WEEKLY BOOKMARK ISSN 1091-6202 July 26, 1998 - Vol. 4, No. 14 IN THIS ISSUE The Weekly Bookmark presents reviews of what's new and newsworthy on the Web in over fifteen categories. Readers submit sites and the editor makes final selections. Your submissions are welcome and are carefully reviewed. Subscribers to this free newsletter will receive each issue first.

Can't remember which issue had that interesting review? Researching a topic of interest? Check out The Weekly Bookmark search engine. Please note that submissions number in the hundreds each day. If your website covers an event or other "dated material", please make sure to submit it well in advance. We do our best to review them while the news is "fresh". Your patience is appreciated. REVIEW 100hot "100 Top Job and Career" Sites http://www.100hot.com/jobs/ Are you looking for a new job? Which employment site do you search for available jobs? We previously assumed that a few top sites such as MonsterBoard and Careerpath would be adequate to provide the job seeker with plenty of listings meeting their needs. Now, we wouldn't search for a job any other way than surfing, one by one, through the sites listed on 100hot's "100 Top Jobs and Careers" page. 100hot lists top sites by all major categories, measured by traffic. We visited roughly the top 20 career sites listed and discovered that no single career site, not even your standard handful of career sites, covers the huge amount of job listings you will discover by digging a little deeper.
