Careers
The things used in my field will generally be the same from place to place. People tend to use high end computers for their work. Depending on the situation animators will send out their work to render farms for efficiency and save time on long renders. I have heard of people modeling in house and sending the models out with some keyframes and storyboards to animation houses in Korea or cheaper places to save money. People tend to use Maya a lot these days but 3DS and other 3D programs are still used. I hope now that Autodesk owns Maya they will merge the two programs into one and save me the trouble of learning another program.
I checked out monster, simplyhired, and careerbuilder. Something about monster.com annoyed me. Might have been the bubbly layout. The way you can preview a job entry when you search is pretty useful though. The job listings were about the same as craigslist just more nonsense to look through.

Careerbuilder was good too. The layout is easy to navigate through and not too much going on. I found a pretty good job for graphic design but not too much for 3D. Mainly 3D software engineering which is far from what I want to do.
Graphic Designer
Simplyhired had a lot of results for random things but again not too much for 3D besides software engineering and other comp sci type things. I am pretty sure that finding a job off these kind of websites is kind of like playing the lottery for work. If there are maybe five decent job postings a week and there are thousands of people doing the same thing I am everyday then the chance that someone will even open your email is slim. Worth a shot I guess.

Job Postings
The website I chose to use was Craigslist. I have used it before to find jobs and I generally find what I am looking for. It does have a very amateur, scattered kind of feel to it but it's not to o difficult to navigate through. I have more technical ability in 3D modeling/animation then with 2D digital art but I also am interested in and enjoy the conceptual aspects of computer graphics.
