Job Search Sites

There are many job search sites readily available at our fingertips. Use "find a job near me" and you will quickly find a variety of job search sites. All a person has to do on any of the job search sites is open an account, fill up the necessary fields, and submit his/her resume.
 
Job search sites usually ask for pertinent information such as the person’s name and contact information. They will also ask jobseekers to add information about their educational background. Most importantly, employment history has to be mentioned which includes the job description and highlights the experience and accomplishments during a person’s career.
 
A section in the account will also ask the preferred industry of work, if the person is willing to do field work or open to relocation and the expected salary, should one be accepted for the job.
 
With all the information provided, job search sites will then match your qualifications with the jobs available. This service is free and matches can be seen when the person logs on the account or gets a notice via email. CareerBuilder is a good example of this service. Don't forget to log into Indeed. Indeed is another good example.
 
Below you will find various tips for making the most of your online job search. You will also note a list of job search sites at the end of this article

Help Employers Find You

Always post your resume online. A study by ComScore found that job seekers who added their resume to an online database were twice as likely to receive a job offer than those who simply applied to specific positions.  Always keep in mind that many employers never advertise their openings, preferring instead to search a pre-screened database of applicants. Employers overwhelmingly prefer this method to the alternative of advertising a position online and being flooded with hundreds of unqualified applications.

​If your resume is not in the database that your dream employer is searching, you’ve already lost out. You should also review the 12 ways to ensure that your resume gets read.

See What Employers See

Many online job boards have a section of their site where potential employers can conduct a free test search of their resume database. Before you post your resume online, use this feature to search for the type of job you want.

There are at least three advantages to doing this:
  • You will see the Top 10 candidates for your keywords (i.e. your competitors) and you can then model your own profile and resume after these successful examples.
  • You will immediately see that placing keywords in the Title of your profile and body of your resume are critically important (because that’s how employers search the database).
  •  You will learn what keywords work for your occupation and possibly discover others you hadn’t thought of.

Save Your Money

Some sites offer a service with a fee that will place the resume over other applicants giving that person more priority. But that is not a guarantee that the jobseeker will be hired anywhere.
 
Don’t waste your money. First of all, you have no way to measure how much higher your resume will rank over non-paid resumes. Second, for the most competitive fields, thousands of other people have purchased the same package, defeating their purpose. Third, the biggest online job boards have publicly acknowledged that simply changing one word of your profile or posted resume on a regular basis will have the same effect (essentially getting you the outcome of the paid service for free.)

Protect Your Identity & Privacy

Unfortunately, job search sites have become a favorite way for scam artists to find victims. To protect your privacy and identity while still effectively making your credentials available, consider these steps:
​
  • Never list your home address on your posted resume.
  • Even if you remove your address, make sure your city and zip code are not removed.
  • Do not share any personal information. (i.e. I have seen people share personal information in their cover letter as follows: "I moved to Los Angeles after my divorce because my daughter is a student at UCLA." Please do not freely share personal information as you post your resume on job search sites, in the name of storytelling.  Sharing this type of personal information is very helpful to scammers and not in your best interest.
Always Complete the Online Profile
Always complete the online profile (in addition to attaching your resume). Why? Because when employers search the resume database, your profile is searched and shown before your resume. In fact, an employer won’t see your resume at all unless they first click on your profile and then scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen (which many won’t do).

Knowledge is Power. Make sure you use it in your career search and don't fall through the cracks.
Job Search Sites
The list below includes a wide selection of 62 job search sites with various services for different needs and requirements. 
  • Some of these sites require a fee for their services, while others are free.
  • Some are listing remote jobs, others are listing freelance opportunities, and some are listing a combination of everything.
