Let's face it, if you're hiring these days you know how hard it is to find just the right person. You don't want someone from three counties away who has to spend hours battling traffic—not with the weather they're predicting forthi s winter. You want to look for people right here, maybe not in the neighborhood, but close enough to arrive fresh and ready to work. It's the same when you are making a job change. You want something close enough to keep you out of the '90s gridlock that's going on out there. You want enough time in the morning to get a calm start and you don't want to spend half your paycheck on gas. You, too, would probably like something close to home. Well, we have the answer for you. Hometown Classifieds—the classifieds in The Observer & Eccentric, HomeTown, and Mirror Newspapers— is an employment powerhouse. We list hundreds of jobs; many of them are right in your own backyard! We've put them online, too, so you can access them anytime at oeonline.com It's a wonderful thing!—thousands of employers and employees getting together through our Hometown Classifieds. You could be one of them!
