Job Listing Sites for Writers

Websites that List Writing Gigs
In my internet travels, I've run across various writing job sites (or sites that also list writing jobs), other than the more commonly used ones, and thought I'd share them. You've likely heard of some (or most); but there may just be a few here that you haven't seen before. Hopefully, they'll help make it a little easier for you to find your next paid writing gig!
Less-Common Writing Job Sites
GenuineJobs.com
You'll need to register for this site, so I'll provide a direct link to the jobs page in case you'd like to check it out first. The site lists all kinds of jobs, but provides a search option to narrow your search.
VirtualVocations.com
This site lists all types of telecommute jobs. There's a one-time charge for joining--one which seems a bit steep to me for simply enjoying the privilege of perusing job ads--but it's definitely worth browsing their job listings, anyway, because often you'll find website or other contact info for clients in their ads.
PostJobFree.com
This site provides a "Search Jobs" capability. From what I can see, it doesn't appear to provide an option for browsing job listings without performing a search first.
JustTechJobs.com
This site offers listings for all types of tech jobs, so you'll need to search specifically for writing jobs, which will bring up a variety of technical writing opportunities. It is, however, also a fantastic site for those who have additional technological skills (beyond technical writing) and might be interested in moonlighting--or even specializing--in "hands-on" tech work.
Sunoasis Jobs
This site focuses on writing and writing-related jobs, such as editing, proofreading, etc.
Best of luck finding your next gig!

Writer's Notes
While this is an interesting site, most freelance writers are probably looking for remote job opportunities, rather than location-specific writing jobs, though I’m sure some would be interested in working in their local areas. Many of my blog’s readers also live in Australia and other parts of the world, rather than the U.S.
I experimented with the search function on the site and, as with most other such generic job sites, I was totally unable to find any telecommute writing opportunities -- at least any that were listed as such. (Didn’t have enough time to search for the "incognito" ones.)
So, it does appear that the site could prove to be of value to writers who might be searching for local on-site employment opportunities in the U.S.
Thanks for stopping by!
