In your quest for a new job, you really do need to manage your time and ensure you use several methods of search. Everyone has their own view as to what works best but using only one or two avenues of search is not the best use of your time. You need to have a mix of job search boards, company career sites, recruiters and, of course, networking (including social networks like LinkeIn).
- Datafrenzy.com – “Search, Apply, and Get the Job” is this search site’s tag line (it should be so easy). The candidate page is very clean, with featured companies listed down the left hand side of the page and tabs at the top. The tabs cover Search Jobs, Company Search, Login and sign up. When I checked the site had over 200,000 jobs listed. The main page also had the job search engine which is somewhat limited in the filter fields but certainly has all of the major filters. Search by Company has a very comprehensive list, with an alphabet selection field at the top and companies listed on the main page in alphabetical order.
- Brokerhunter.com – This job search board specializes in financial services. The main page has a map of the US to search by location. There are tabs below the map to search by position as well. You can register on the site as well. Below the map there are tabs for Featured Jobs and Featured Companies. You can use the About Firms link to find out more about specific firms and you can search firms by location. Overall, the site is well put together with a broad range of options for search and filtering.
- Bankjobs.com – As the name implies, this job search board focuses on the banking industry and yes, there are jobs out there. The main page has a tab for Job Seekers and Featured Jobs. You can register and post your resume, view job seeker links and review the job seeker guide. The Search Jobs link under the Job Seeker tab links to the main search page with a typical search engine. When I checked there were in excess of 300 jobs.
- Getthejob.com – This site is a mix of a job search board and a social network for job seekers. The main page has quite a few tabs at the top: Browse Locations, Companies, Categories, People, Education and Job search. Below the tabs is a list of cities (for city search) and below that is a simple search box with two filters (location and jobs description). Browsing categories follow directly below and to the right of this are top rated jobs and connect with new members. You can also learn about employers. Doing a simple search on NY returned over 36,000 opportunities, 1,400 companies and 8,600 members.
- BankJobbing.com – Okay, not a search board. This site is “the network for all bank employees and is “the first social network for bankers”. The main page includes blog posts that are topical around job search. You can register and create your own page, see videos, join the forum, join groups and see all of the blogs. Certainly allows you to expand your networking while focusing on your industry.
Good luck in your job search.
