List of top job websites
[edit]The granddaddy of job search is Monster, which launched almost 20 years ago. Internationally known and highly regarded, it lists hourly, part-time, and full-time jobs in practically every career field.
Indeed jumped from 50 million visitors a month to 100 million—53 percent of all Internet-based job search traffic in the United States. If you're not sure where to start, Indeed has tips to help. You don't even have to keep revisiting the site; it will help you set up searches that arrive in your inbox, or you can paste a URL for search results into an RSS reader for a constant feed.
Chicago-based CareerBuilder has versions in almost every major country. You can store up to five résumés and cover letters publicly or privately, and create up to five personal search agents to receive emailed job listings daily or weekly. If you're unsure about where to start, upload your résumé to CareerBuilder and the site will scan it and match jobs according to your experience. If you don't have a résumé, simply search for jobs within CareerBuilder and the site will recommend positions based on your experience.
CareerBuilder also owns and operates several niche job search sites including Sologig.com, Headhunter.com, CareerRookie.com, MiracleWorkers.com and WorkinRetail.com.
The company aggregates job listings from thousands of sites across the Web including job boards, newspaper and classified listings, associations, social networks, content sites and company career sites. It then distributes those jobs on its website as well as social network, blog, and other website partners.
It's definitely more bare-bones than any other job search website—you can't sign up for email updates or post your résumé—but Craigslist certainly has plenty of jobs to offer and it specializes in finding openings in your vicinity. Listings aren't pulled in from other aggregator sites; they're all individually posted by employers.
LinkedIn might not look like job search, but it's a "professional" social network. Profile is essentially résumé, listing all work experience and skills, and connecting users with contacts. Employers can list jobs on the site to recruit the best candidates, the listings are available for users to search, and of course, it's a great site for investigating potential employers.
Glassdoor is a U.S.-based "job and career site where employees anonymously dish on the pros and cons of their companies and bosses".
Not only is it a leading site for informational blogs and on-going educational opportunities (especially in the New York City area), it's also the primary place to look for a media/journalism job online. Freelance gigs, internships, full-time jobs—you can find them all, and set up an alert to be notified either by email or RSS feed when the perfect opening is available near you.
Dice.com is the leading career site for technology and engineering professionals, with thousands of job listings at every IT level, from entry to senior. Dice is also great for analyzing technology trends, getting career advice, and asking a tech question in the discussion area. Creating a free and confidential profile allows you to post your résumé. Some of the largest tech companies in the country, like HP, Amazon, and Verizon, can be found listing positions among the more than 82,000 currently posted.
It has a vast number to choose from, with more than 72,000 registered from more than 35,000 companies, with paid and unpaid internships in all 50 states.
