Government Sponsored Job Databases
America's Job Bank     http://www.ajb.dni.us/
     Searching this site also searches the NY State Department of Labor.  This is a great job database.  You must register to use the good parts of the site but do not have to register to search the jobs.  It is well worth the time to register because then you can save searches and have the site run those saved searches for you and email you the results.  A thing about this site is that it can be difficult to determine exactly where you are applying to.  
USA Jobs      http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/
     The U.S. Government's official site for jobs and employment information provided by the United States Office of Personnel Management.  This is not the easiest site to use.  Start at Current Job Openings and then click on the appropriate link.  It may be best to choose the Alphabetical Job Search  and look for a job that way.  HINT:  to look for a particular word on  a Web page hold down the CONTROL and the  F keys at the same time and type in the word you want to find.
Albany County Department of Human Resources     http://www.albanycounty.com/departments/humanresources/index.htm
