I spent some time this week helping a friend look for a new job. She wasn't sure where to start, so we talked about the job search engines so she could find job listings that met her specifications fast, job sites with local listings like Craig's List, and niche job sites like MediaBistro and the New York Times Media Jobs section (she's a writer). There are lots of sites out there, and it isn't easy to know where to start, especially when you haven't looked for a job for a while. The world of job searching has changed a lot in the eight years since my friend last job searched.

To help make it a little easier, here's a list of job search engine sites, jobs listed by location and type of job, networking sites where employers and recruiters can find you, and all the other job search sites where you should be looking for job listings.
