The Best Job Search Sites

Everyone’s looking for work these days it seems and with all the ways to go about it, newspaper ads, local ads, the Internet, it can be an overwhelming task deciding which is the best way to go about it. Herein I will list for you the top rated online job search websites as well as their pros and cons so you can get the best results during your job-hunt and get to work faster.

JobGoRound.Com - This website has the ability to find job openings with just a click or two of the mouse. All you need to do is enter a keyword, set your location and you can see hundreds of offers. That is the upside to the service, the downside is that you have no means to post a resume on the website for potential companies to find you and offer you a position. You can; however, use a job search assistant to find places and post your resume with them and the site offers some advice on resumes as well as interviews.

Monster.Com - Everyone’s heard of Monster, it’s one of the premier job search sites and it offers a great deal of options for helping people find jobs as well as helping recruiters find people for their company. You can use a job search assistant to scour the service for jobs that match your skills and have to postings emailed to you as they appear. You can also post your resume online for companies to view and you are given the ability to share that resume at will when you apply for any jobs. Monster also has the luxury, because of their well-known name, to attract one of the largest databases on jobs online, which means the choices are almost endless.

HotJobs.Com - Yahoo’s HotJobs.Com pretty has everything you can think of under the sun to help you find that one perfect job you need. The system they use makes separating job search types by skill, location and pay easier than any other site online at this time. You can get assistance that is as detailed as you want it to be through their search assistants and email notifications. There is online resume assistance as well as the ability to store and update your resume whenever needed. You can also save the searches you have done so that, instead of having to look all over again, you simply return to your previous searches which saves a great deal of time and stress.

Job openings are updated constantly and using the saved searches on these types of websites makes looking for jobs easier than ever. There are also a ton of tools on these sites to help with interviews from tips to things you should practice as well as things you never want to do during an interview.

The best part of these types of search engines is the time it saves you. Looking for work in the newspaper is time consuming and not very effective anymore as most companies are placing their ads almost exclusively online.

Tip: Be sure your resume is up to date before beginning your job search. Read resume service reviews to choose the best resume writer for you.
