You say your search for a new job is in a rut and you need a little something new to pump up your job search activity? You say you need some new job search action?

Well, grab a low-tech pencil, paper and a touch-tone telephone, and you can access tens of thousands of job openings that are announced each week -- and many of them are not advertised anywhere! I've got a new job searching tool for you that you need to add to your quiver of arrows.

It's the National Job Hotline Directory: The Job Finders Hot List.

The new, 376–page directory provides you with 6,500 job hot lines from employers throughout the United States and Canada. The hot lines are listed alphabetically by company within broad industries such as computers, education, federal government, financial, hospitality, local government, medical and health care, retail and state government. "We realize that job hot lines aren't the only way to find job openings," co-author Marcia Williams says. "They're just the most accessible and easiest job-search tool to get to thousands of jobs, many of which are advertised only on the advertiser's hot line. These jobs range from custodians to CEOs, and anyone can reach them without a computer, usually 24 hours a day."
