Great sources for finding jobs.
Thanks for the list! Another great addition would be jobety.com. It’s a great new job search engine for web designers and developers.
Great info thanks, some of them I’ve not come across before.
Just an update for the freelancing section, another one you can add is Scriptlance.com (if you’re a developer).
Incase it’s useful to anyone, I’ve been working on a project called imnosy.com which alerts you via email when specific web pages are updated. This can be pretty useful if you set it to alert you of job/career pages for companies you’re interested in.
your list seems to be good
but you forgot best one resource http://www.hifreelancer.com/
i think you should add it to list
