These Are America's 10 Best Companies to Work For
Tech companies lead the pack
Do you love your job? Do you hate it? Why? There are countless factors
that go into determining whether an employer is a good fit for you, and
your own preferences and inclinations are the strongest indicators of
whether you'll sink or swim. But we'd be deeply remiss if we didn't
point out that the employer also strongly influences the equation: how
its treat its employees, how prominent it is in its respective industry,
whether the CEO takes everyone out for pizza once a week.
These factors, like salary and work-life balance, can all be charted, and 24/7 Wall St. considered all of them while drafting this list of America's best companies to work for. These are the places where workers are happy to be working, and, if the statistics are to be believed, you would be, too. Interested?

Companies hiring in August
By Debra Auerbach
If you’ve been job searching for a while and not making much progress, it can be easy to get discouraged. But there are some simple ways to get out of that job-search rut and get back on track.
Start by applying more structure to your day. If you designate specific hours each day to conduct your job-search duties, you’ll be more productive – and likely more successful – than if you were to randomly search off and on throughout the week.
Also try volunteering for an organization that supports a cause of interest to you. Not only will the work fill a resume gap, but it will also be a rewarding experience.
Finally, consider expanding your search to include companies or industries that you may not have previously considered. While something may not seem like the perfect fit at first, you may have transferable skills that could make you a great candidate for the role.
