Last week's Career Tools cast gave you one hint on what to google to meet people in your area who could help you with your job search. It's pretty simple, you just google for the name of your town and the word business, and see what comes up which might be useful. In the cast, we gave three examples - Charlotte, North Carolina, Pueblo, Colorado and Bremen, Germany, and we tried to help you understand how the results could be helpful. (The cast is here, if you didn't get to it yet: http://www.manager-tools.com/2012/05/google-job-search-tips-chapter-1) Having started you off, we'd like to crowd-source a resource which helps everyone, no matter where they live. What we'd like you to do is to google your town and business, just like it says in the cast, and tell us what you find that you think will be helpful to job seekers. Thanks! Wendii

San Francisco Bay Area / Silicon Valley
It can be hard here as we have a glut of information. Yes, we have ten million (or so) people in a fairly small area. However it's very fragmented as only two cities are a Million plus. A good majority are of the cities are under 100,000. My home town is right next to the SFO Airport and has only 46,000 people.
There still are some good resources:
Project Management Institute- San Frnacisco: http://www.pmi-sfbac.org/
Project Management Institute- Silicon Valley: http://www.pmisv.org/
Both are excellent for project management related networking and connections
Business Journal- Silicon Valley: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/
Business Journal- San Francicso: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco
Both of these will give you an excellent overview of the local business trends. Pay attention to real estate purchases and leases.

Brisbane, australia
Great job Wendy!
The ad at the top of the search was for Businesses FOR SALE. is this a novel way to change companies/roles/industry ... buy a company?! (Bkgd: Brisbane market has a suprisingly high level of contractors and self-employed.)
The straight "business" search was great.
I added in "chamber" to bring the various chambers of commerce to the fore. Here too were loads of breakfast, lunch and dinner events!
Now to find an event or two to go to in the next month ... :-)

In addition to the resources that the cast covered such as the local Chamber of Commerce, I found that we have an Economic Development Council which tries to attract businesses to the city. The also have a handy list of major employers - some of which I had no idea were in the city - and an even larger list of companies they work with. Going back to Horstman's First Law, though, the people there happy to chat you up about businesses that were coming to the area or about to expand.
