Job Searching – Top Job Sites
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that About.com did an article on the top job sites (two of which have been previously reviewed here). About.com’s article (Top Job Sites) has a brief write-up for each of the sites. I’ve included my own brief review below for three of the sites (I’ll cover the others in the next post).
About.com’s Top Job Sites:
- Careerbuilder.com - Careerbuilder is one of the largest online job sites. It has in excess of 30% of jobs posted on the web. Similar to some of the other popular sites, Careerbuilder allows you to create an account, post your resume, search for jobs and receive job alerts. Additionally, there are numerous tools and advice. This is a site that should be on your list. If you haven’t visited this site yet, it should be the next on your list.
- Jobfox - This site is different than most of the other sites I’ve reviewed. The site tries to match job seekers with potential employers. It includes a number of tools including resume tracking as well as suitability. The site presents the user with jobs that match the user’s profile (rather than the user having to do a search). This site has a unique process and should also be on your short list.
- Indeed.com - Indeed.com is a job search engine. it aggregates jobs from websites, newspapers, company sites and other sources. As with other sites, you can create a free account which allows you to create specific searches as well as alerts. Another great resource in your job search.
I’ll add the links above to the “Links to Resources” on the right-hand side of the main page in the next few days. Happy job hunting.
Hi!
I thought I’d also recommend using Simply Hired, the largest job search engine, and LinkedIn, the professional social network.
Using those two tools together, you can search all jobs and find personal connections to those jobs. Simply Hired even has a feature that lets job seekers search their LinkedIn network from SimplyHired.com
Best regards,
