Some of the top job sites are traditional job banks, like Monster and CareerBuilder. Others, like Indeed.com, allow you to search many job boards, company career pages, associations, and other sites that list jobs.
There are also sites that focus on certain types of positions, like part-time jobs, seasonal or summer jobs. All of them are worth incorporating into your job search, because not all employers list on every site, even though it may sometimes seem that way.
CareerBuilder is among the top job sites with over 400,000 job postings and 9 million resumes. CareerBuilder has partnered with Gannett, Knight Ridder, Tribune, and other newspapers to provide local, as well as national, job listings. CareerBuilder is an excellent source of local job listings.
If you're interested in a seasonal job, start your search with CoolWorks. CoolWorks lists thousands of summer and seasonal jobs. There's a free weekly email newsletter and the opportunity to sign-up for a free email account to use for your job search.
There's nothing fancy or significantly searchable at Craig's List, but, that doesn't matter. The simple list of "real" jobs works. Click on the city that interests you and review the list of job openings.
Jobfox matches job seekers with employers, provides a professional web page for personal branding, and has a selection of tools, including text messaging, resume tracking, and Instant Messaging (IM) to manage your job search.
Indeed includes millions of job listings from thousands of web sites, including company career pages, job boards, newspaper classifieds, associations, and blogs. Any job search can be saved as an email alert, so new jobs are delivered daily. Job seekers may also search job trends and salaries, read and participate in discussion forums, research companies and even find people working for companies of interest through their online social networks.
LinkedIn is the top career networking site and an excellent way to connect with people who can help with your job search and/or who work at a company you're interested in. In addition, LinkedIn has a Jobs section where you can search for positions by keyword and location, or use the Advanced Search option to search for listings by even more specific criteria.
From a numbers perspective, Monster continues to be the top job board site with over 200,000 member companies and 61 million job seeker accounts. Positions range from hourly local jobs to professional positions in just about every career field. MonsterTRAK is the version of the Monster job board specifically for college students and recent graduates.
SimplyHired searches thousands of job boards, classifieds, and company sites. Advanced search options include type of job, type of company, keyword, location, and the date the job was posted.
SnagAJob lists only hourly and part-time jobs, so, if you're not looking for a full-time job, it's an excellent site to use for job searching. You can search the job listings by zip code and sign-up to receive new job postings via email.
In addition to job postings, registered HotJobs users can get search results automatically delivered by email, block employers from seeing their resume, create and save cover letters, and save job search results.
