Additional Job Search Sites

Making the rounds through each of the categories covered in this blog, it’s time again to review some job search sites. Just as I try to cover several major topics/categories, you too should balance your search (as mentioned in my post the other day - Out of work, trying to focus on your job search?).

No particular theme this time, just a mix of several sites which you will hopefully find useful.

Beyond.com – This is a job search site, but there are many ads to deal with. As soon as you sign in, the first screen is a full page ad which you must click “not interested” (unless you are) before getting to the main site. Once you get to the main page, there are quite a few options. The site has “standard” (free) services and “premium” (pay services). The free service includes a “portfolio” where you can save your resume, cover letter, personal references as well as some other items. The Job Hunting section includes searching for jobs, saving alerts, saved submissions and saved jobs. Finally, there is a very comprehensive Career Resources section.
careerjet.com – This site is an employment search engine which searches thousands of websites across the world. You can post your resume and create job search alerts (or just saved searches). This site is different than the traditional job search sites in that it is showing jobs from numerous job search sites (which can save time). This is similar to indeed.com which was covered in my post of September 25th (Job Searching – Top Job Sites). The site also has tabs to allow search by industry and location.
CFO.com – The site itself is a broad-based site filled with articles, web casts, white papers and much more (www.cfo.com). The career section (careers) includes career articles as well as job search and a salary benchmark function. While my commentary is short, the depth and volume of articles on this site is not. It is definitely worth spending time here if your industry is Finance.
Dice.com – Dice focuses on careers for the Tech community (and probably the best known). You can post your resume, search for jobs, get career advice and read related articles. Dice has some “sister” search sites which will be reviewed in future posts.

Good luck in your search.
