No. In fact, I don't use JobSlinger much. I have found the best way to be available for everything in my area is to apply for as many jobs as possible. There are hundreds of companies. I am signed up with over 150. Many shoppers are signed up with more than that. That doesn't mean I work with all of them all the time. Some do not have jobs in my area. Some used to have jobs here but currently do not, some have never had jobs in my area. Some maybe never will. But just because a company does not have shops in my area today does not mean that next week, next month or next year, that they will not. If and when they do, I am signed up and ready. As far as finding out before signing up with companies whether or not they have jobs in your area, probably not. Most MSPs do not disclose to you which clients they shop until you have signed up so you will probably have to continue to sign up in order to find out what they have in your area.
