“I look to the future because that’s where I’m going to spend the rest of my life.” – George Burns
Somewhere out there your job is waiting, trust me. You just haven’t found it yet (but you will). It doesn’t matter if you’ve just started the job hunt or if you’ve been looking for a long time. Most of job hunting is being in the right place at the right time, but you can create more action by ensuring as many people as possible know you are looking. While many jobs have been lost over the last few years, many have been created as well. There are hundreds of thousands of jobs out there. Sure, not every job is for you, but there is certainly at least one waiting for you. Today’s post focuses on Job Search Boards.
- LinkUp.com – Leveraging company career sites (which means you are going right to the source), LinkUp pulls jobs directly from company websites. The main page (when I checked) claims to pull jobs from over 20,500 company career sites. The main page is simple, just type in a keyword and location and it immediately returns quite a few jobs (direct from companies). Below the search button is an advanced search link which allows you to create additional filters. If you click “search” without criteria you will see a link that says “browse”. Click this and you will see a list of locations and categories.
- Exec2exec.com – This site specializes in executive recruiting in the UK and Europe. Their main page has tabs at the top for Sectors, Profile, Candidates and News. There is a basic search box at the top of the page, followed by Sector Links and Location links. The right hand side of the page has featured jobs.
- Womensjoblist.com – As you may have guessed from the name, this site specializes in jobs for women. There are tabs at the top of the main page for Jobs, Resumes, Career Advice and more. There is a simple search bar below the tabs, followed by job sections (jobs by category), featured jobs and featured employers.
- CGSociety.org – Games, Graphics and Animation is the name of the game for this job site. There are tabs at the top for Jobs, Workshops and more. Left hand side of the page is a link for Find Jobs, or use the Quick Job Search on the right hand side of the page. You can register on the site, or check out the featured jobs towards the bottom of the page.
- Network and Systems Professionals Association (NaSPA) – That is a mouthful, but a great place to search for a job is you are a network professional. The main page allows sign-on, or click one of the job search related links (Post a Resume, View Jobs, Job Alert, and Jobseeker account). The View Jobs link leads to a search engine where you can search by keyword and state.
Good luck with your search.
