Best Job Websites
Searching for jobs can be a difficult and time consuming task. Finding the job that meets your skills can be a struggle for anyone. There are hundreds of job boards on the internet, but finding the right ones can helping your job search immensely. Here are some job boards that are vital to any job search.
Hot Jobs
Hot Jobs is Yahoo’s job board, and is one of the most popular job websites in the world. The site is quite easy to use and the search bars can narrow your selections down in just two clicks. The home page is a little cluttered with ads but the important navigation bars are easy to find. The standard “apply here” buttons are on the jobs ads as well as buttons for e-mailing the ad to friends and saving it to your list. Hot Jobs does not specialize in any particular field and is a great board for finding an assortment of employment opportunities.
Monster
The Monster site has gone through quite a few visual changes over the years. If you have not visited it recently, the assortment of drop down menus and search bars can be a little over whelming at first. Monster is definitely not for the one time browser. You can set up an account so that you can create your own resume and save certain job listings. There are several different ways to browse and search for jobs, but the experienced visitor will find the site to have extensive search options. Everything from career level to years of experience can be entered to help narrow down your searches. The rollover icon that tells you the starting salary is especially helpful when you are scanning a long list of ads. Monster should definitely be on your short list of job sites.
Careerbuilder
Careerbuilder boasts of having over 1 million job ads at any given time and one look at their site will make a believer out of you. They have a very extensive amount of listings and incorporate a lot of options on their site. You can make your own account which will enable you to create and post a resume. The search bar is easy to use and you can use several options to narrow down searches. The standard “apply now” and “share” buttons are there along with a “share with Facebook friends” button. One of the drawbacks of Careerbuilder is the extensive listings of dubious work-at-home jobs. Narrowing your searches to specific fields will weed out these unwanted ads.
The Ladders
The Ladders is a job board that lists only jobs with a starting salary above $100,000 a year. This site has gained a lot of popularity over the past few years and is a great site for professionals. The site lists everything from finance to technology jobs and will even help you with your resume. If you are an experienced professional, this site is definitely worth checking into.
Dice
Dice is a job board that specializes in the information technology field. The home page is very tidy and easy to use. Dice prides itself on being more than just a job board as evident by the discussion forum and helpful job articles. If you are looking for a job in the computer related industry, Dice has a wealth of information waiting for you.
Indeed
Indeed is not a job board but is instead an actual search engine for jobs. Typing in the job title and location will give you listings on many different websites. The great thing is that many of these listings will come from websites that you may never have heard of. Indeed is a valuable tool for finding obscure listings.
Simply Hired
Simply Hired has a plain and unassuming home page, but don’t let that fool you; the website is a powerful tool for finding jobs. Simply Hired, like Indeed, is a job search engine. Type in the description and location and a large list of jobs will pop up. There are several helpful filters on the left of the page to help you narrow down the search even further. Simply Hired is a great search engine for finding jobs.
