WHO YOU SHOULD REALLY BE SUBMITTING YOUR RESUME TO....

Ok. So last post I spent the first paragraph ripping apart online job search sites. Do I believe that you can get a job using these? I.....do. Sort of. I believe that they work, and that you can get a job using these websites, but I don't think that it should be the only thing that you do to get a job or that they are the most efficient use of your time in searching for a job(See my last posting).

But, if you do go this route. Lets at least make sure that you are using the better sites to get the best results for the effort put in.

Here are a list of sites that I would recommend and why:

1. Indeed.com (top pick)- Indeed.com is easy to use and in my opinion gives you the best options because it works more like a search engine for jobs by compiling jobs postings from newspapers, job pages and job sites all into on.

2. Craigslist.com - Craigslist has a lot of different types of jobs. Because it is not expensive for employers to post jobs, a lot of them use Craigslist because there is a large ROI. My only complaint is a lot of scam artists are on here to so you need to do your research and make sure that the job you are applying for is with a legitimate company.


3. Hound.com-This is actually a really cool site because it picks the jobs right off of employers websites. Not the typical pay-to-post model like Hot Jobs, Monster, etc. I would actually put this site ahead of Craigslist.com except the amount of jobs available are not as many and you need to find a job within the free trial to keep it free.

4. Specialty Job Search Sites. These include sites like the theladders.com(for jobs paying 100k and over which charges a fee to apply for jobs), mediabistro.com(for media and online jobs), dice.com (for technical jobs).

5. Monster.com- I am only putting Monster.com on this list because they have so many different choices for jobs.But, you do have to be careful. There are a lot of multilevel type companies on this site too. They also have lot of tips, advice and articles from many industries that are helpful to in getting you a job. (I know it is hard to believe that there is any other job help site other than ROTTEN RESUME!)
