“When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.” – John Lennon
When I was growing up I used to go to a pond near my house with my friends to look for tadpoles. It was a small pond with an old car tire in the middle that you could touch if you stretched. One year, all of the tadpoles were in the center of the tire and we just could not reach them. So I decided to step on the tire and then reach for the tadpoles. As soon as I put my foot down I was committed and the tire sank and I fell in. I remember thinking I was going to drown, but the pond only came up to my chest and I was able to climb out (with my tadpoles of course). Job search is much the same, sometimes you just need to commit yourself, kick it up a notch and take the plunge. Today’s post is a collection of recommended job sites from readers.
- VizualResume.com – Several months ago I did a post on visual resumes (see Visual Resumes – Do You Have Yours?) and I missed out on reviewing VizualResumes which provides examples of visual resumes. The left hand side of the screen has the examples (scroll down to see additional examples). Click Visual Archive to see additional resumes. You can also submit a resume sample.
- Job Search Websites – This site’s (http://best-websites-for-job-searches.com/) tag line – “Only the best websites for job search” provides a number of resources for your job search. Tabs at the top of the page for “Most Visited Websites For Job Searches” and “Top 10 Job Search Websites You Should Not Use” provide good resources and advise (like “go where the competition is not).
- Zariftech.com – This site provides technical job opportunities. The main page has tabs at the top for My Account, Find Jobs, Post Resume and more. The left hand side of the screen provides both a quick search and an advanced search tool. Below the search function is a list of featured employers follow by search by job type. Center page is the list of current jobs. The search function also allows you to filter by direct employer or recruiters.
- HR Job Search Secrets – “Accelerating your job search” is the tag line for this site. There are tabs at the top of the page for resources, services and blog. The left hand side of the page has the “job seekers guide to the hidden job market” followed by some posts. Center page are video blogs. Click on resources to see a number of posts which provide some resources. There are embedded links to additional resources or contact information in many of the articles.
- RetiredBrains.com – “The Complete resource for retirees and those planning for retirement” is their tag line. There are links at the top for Retirement Jobs, Financial Resources and more. The left hand side of the page has links for “find retirement jobs”, “resume writing services” and lots more. Center page provides a wide range of resources, including Find Jobs, Employment Assistance and lots more. Clicking Find Jobs takes you to the search engine and shows additional links for Resumes/Letters and Job Alerts. There were over 10,000 job opportunities when I checked the site.
Good luck in your search.
