Indeed.com Tops the Charts

Friday February 27, 2009
Indeed.com is always on my list of favorite job sites. Indeed is also on the list of the top ten fasting growing web sites in January and the top job search engine (and second overall) on Hitwise's top 10 training employment and training sites list.

It's not just the job postings that make Indeed a terrific job search site, though, of course, they are important, too. You can use the advanced search options to refine your search so you are getting jobs that specifically match your skillset. There's a salary search option so you can see how much jobs listed in the last year paid.

In addition, there are lots of tools you can use to expedite your job search - plugins for your browser and toolbar, a Facebook job search application, email alerts, and my.indeed so you can save your searches and access them from any computer.

In addition, it might make you cringe a little when you look at the drop in job postings, but the Indeed Industry Trends tool, is a good indicator of which industries are hiring (and which aren't) so you can considering transitioning to an industry which might be better positioned in a down job market.

Here are tips from Indeed.com on how to use a job search engine effectively.
