Job search can be challenging, There are so many jobs listed, and most of the time they are either already filled or no one gets back to you. It’s easy to become discouraged and lose focus. A successful job search is a series of tasks and approaches applied over a period of time. While you could get lucky and quickly find a job, this is unlikely in any market. The best approach is to split your time across a number of job search activities:
- Recruiters
- Networking
- Professional Organizations
- Company Career Sites
- Social Networks
Are Job Search Sites Worth Your Time?
There are hundreds of job search sites that are available on the Internet. You would never have the time to check them all out (nor should you). Are they worth your time? In a word, yes. Should you register with hundreds? No, but you should focus on those that will best meet your needs.
This article, by Knoji, provides a great overview of job search sites.
How Many Job Search Sites Should You Use?
You need to limit the number of sites and settle on the handful that best fits your industry and occupation. Keep in mind that even specialized industry sites have all types of jobs (such as a Controller job found on a Fashion job search Site). How many is ideal? I would say 3 sites (and no more than 5). You can pick one or two of the top sites (see below) and then several career or industry sites.
