The “search for content” pressure is off for this post. Thanks to several readers who have suggested a number of job hunting sites over the past few weeks. In today’s post I will review reader’s picks, which includes Resume Services, Job Search Sites, Career Blogs and a search firm. The intro is light this week given the content. Read on.
- ResumeWonders.com – “Building Resumes – Building Dreams” is the tag line for this site which specializes in a full range of services in support of your job search. Packages range from full service (strategy, resume, cover letter, email support, etc.) to targeted support (any one of the items listed in their full package). The top center of the site lists several packages followed by detailed background on their Resume Writing Services (left center) and Career Coaching Services (right center). Click on Resource Directory (left hand side of the page) for an extensive list of additional resources. If you need to jump start (or re-start) your job search process, this may be the place to start.
- Careerjet.com – This site is an employment search engine (that is their tagline as well). According to the website, there are more than 16,000,000 jobs globally on the site (with more than 2,000,000 in the US). The top of the site has a simple search function (What and Where) with a link to Advanced Search to the right of the simple search. Center page has several quick search tabs for Jobs by Industry, Location, Worldwide and customized searches.
- CareerEssentials.wordpress.com – This site is a careers blog (which I’ve just added to my Blogroll – on the right hand side of my page) which is affiliated with ResumeWonders.com. This blog provides useful tips with themes for each post day (like Tuesday’s Tips). Definitely worth a read on a regular basis (as well as prior posts). The right hand side of the site has additional links with review as well (“Worth the Read” includes a number of useful links).
- ChowJobs – Another useful careers blog, this site provides job leads and career advice. The site’s posts generally include a lead to specific job from a company (such as jobs at HSBC). The site is worth a read, but you should visit it every post day in order to catch the job leads before they go stale (or are taken by other readers!). There are additional links at the top of the page for Job Hunting Services and contact us.
- Momentumtrans.com – Momentum is a search firm that specializes in recruiting hard to find employees (not really sure what that means). The main page gives an overview of the company, followed by site news. There are links at the top for Openings, Apply and Contact. Click Openings to link to their job opportunities page. Once on this page, there will be categories of jobs but no links, you must call them if you are interested. The Apply page has an online application while the Contact page has a link for email information.
Good luck in your search.

These are all great sites. However, I wanted to recommend a new site called OneWire (www.onewire.com). OneWire has launched a career management tool which directly matches finance professionals with firms that are actively hiring. The top-tier investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms are using OneWire for recruiting. I suggest you check out http://www.onewire.com and create a profile. It’s free and easy!
Every job has a different set of requirements, and every hiring manager has to justify the salary you’re asking them to offer you. Help them by building enough evidence to make it clear you’re worth the money.
