Looking for Jobs in all the Right Places
Where are the most excellent places to find jobs online? You will surely find many job listings on main job banks like Monster, CareerBuilder and HotJobs. On the other hand, every other job hunter is looking for positions on these job sites as well.
Monster, for example, has almost 1 000 000 job postings. They also have over 50 million registered users, more than 45 million posted resumes. That is plenty of competition for every job!
This does not indicate that job seekers shouldn't use the top job banks. What we are suggesting is that you should widen your horizons and expand your job search. Use additional resources to ensure you are accessing as many appropriate openings as possible.
Here are the top sites, along with a short description of what you will get. Several sites need you to register, others let you search with no signing-up. Job seekers can place their resume and apply directly online. The majority of sites offer job search agents so you can sign-up to have new listings that meet your criteria sent via email. A lot of sites give extensive career resources as well, with salary information and career recommendation.
It is vital to have a system in place when you begin a job search. Start by searching the top job sites, your local job sites, and the job sites that focus on your career field of interest each and every day. New jobs are posted all the time so you need to stay on top of what's available so you can beat the crowd and get your application in early.
Build job search agents (the majority of job sites offer this service) so you can have new postings emailed to you when they are posted.
Bookmark the sites you visit on a regular basis and investigate them daily.
Don't overlook the niche sites that focus on a specific industry or location. They can be a great source of listings.
